I had 5 Lancias, 2 Beta saloons, 1 Beta HPEie, 1 Gamma coupe and my ex's Y10. The Gamma blew a head gasket but once repaired was utterly reliable, The Earth strap from the battery came loose on the HPE and the clutch linkage failed on 1 Beta saloon. A pretty good record and I drove the HPE from England to Germany with no issues. I loved my Lancias! I've also driven a Montecarlo and a Thema turbo.

I`ve had a couple of HPE`s - a 1st series and a second series (plus series 3 2 litre Berlina, a second series coupe, and a Montecarlo) . They are great cars. love the colour of yours which I`ve never seen in New Zealand. I actually prefer the original alloys and ride height - don`t lower it, they were known for their excellent ride and handling over "real" roads. it is what it is. Buy a modern car with wider low profile tyres and lower ride height if you want that look. You wouldn`t "modernise" the Mona Lisa would you?

Hello Richard Thank you for your interessting comment. My opinion is that every person should make the modifications he or she like. I agree with you that with a rare and old car there is some responsability to maintain the originality. At the end of the day i know that i don't drive rallys with the HPE. I also know that the roads in Switzerland are in perfect condition. I think it is the same thing with cars like with women. If every men like the same woman we have war on our planet. So it's important that the person have different ideas and to be tolerant. And than i would like comment your example with the Mona Lisa. The Mona Lisa exist just one time and i never would change something on that masterpiece of a picture. But if you ask if i would change the picture frame i would answer why not, because this change can be cancel. And the same thing you can do with an old car. Wheels and lower up can be cancel on a few hours. So i understand your opinion to like the cars in the original condition, but my opinion is a little bit different. I wish you a nice day and if you like original car there is a original Fiat 124 spider from 1969 on my channel. Regards Luca

Is NZ = New Zealand? I think the best option is too buy one you drive and another for the parts. For the mechanic parts there is a website from United Kingdom named betaboyz there you find nerly all. They sell a lot of parts. When you need specifiacal parts like a fender or other body partd it's very difficult to find. But otherwise thats also a reason why this betas are so rare. If you say in nz they sell currently betas then i think for the future is the best option to buy one in good condition and a second in bad condition for the parts. Regards from Switzerland
