I had two HPE VX's in years gone past and loved them. Unfortunately both succumbed to tinwork unlike my first Beta HPE from 1978 that was solid until the day it was written off by a reversing truck....The Stratos was actually a donor for the second HPE when the engine in it dropped a valve! The damaged engine was rebuilt by Barry Waterhouse and was the third engine in the chassis and the first to run in the car!

Hi Peter,
it's 99,9% rust free look some detail pictures
also the interior is like new with the rare Recaro seats!
and the engine bay
i have also never seen a Beta like this condition.
My VX coupe was the car I loved the most, I had it 15 years drove it everyday and it never let me down. The only car I really miss.
Paul.
Sat in a real one, may never wash again!
Well done Enzo, the car deserves to be restored, please keep us posted on your progress.
Vince.

yes Vince,
i post the progress here
today i open the trunk and there was a lot of spare parts in it
and i have found the last license plate with ended MOT 4/1993
i found some more rust but the doors are rust free!
For an 80's Beta that's never been restored that's in remarkable condition! Well worth saving!
