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!

That car is in fantastic condition for its age, way better than the one I scrapped in the 90's
Did they all have Recaros, or was it an extra cost option?
Excuse my VX ignorance!
Coupe had the Recaro interior, HPE had a more normal seat but with similar material, slightly lighter shade. Not sure what the Trevi VX had Chris. The Coupe seats are notorious for wearing out as you look at them! Just sliding in and out of the seat causes them to fall apart so the condition of these supports the very low mileage on this car. Approx 15k miles!

this are the rust i find now after dismantled!
tomorrow i take out the front and rear windows and on monday it goes to paint shop![]()
Also have a look in the rear aches where the brake lines are attached, they held on to muck and would rust right through into the boot on some cars. Beta Boys in the UK used to do reproduction parts, not sure if they still do, but they have a forum with lots of good info. And Lancisti.net is another good resource, as is lancia-beta.de.
I've never seen a coupe with the recaro front seats, apparently we got the coupes that didn't sell in the UK, and none here have those seats. Nobody really seems to know for sure how many we got down here, I've heard 12 from a pretty reliable source, to up to 80 VX coupes. I don't believe the latter as I thought they only made 150 right hand drive VX coupes. 1292 made all up.

Sat in a real one, may never wash again!
Lancia produced 1272 Coupé VX most were left-hand drive
(only 186 right-hand drive HPEs and around 150 RHD Coupés were imported to the UK,
however the car was also sold in some other RHD markets so exact RHD production remains unknown)
