Lancia Beta HPE 2000 1982
Specifications
Description
The Lancia Beta (Type 828) was produced by Lancia from 1972 to 1984.
They're certainly not a common sight on our roads today, but Betas represent a highly practical choice for today's collector. They are still an intelligent alternative if you ask me.
It's engine was derived from the relatively new Aurelio Lampredi-designed Fiat twin-cam, which at that point was one of the world's most advanced four-cylinder production engines. Its aluminum cylinder head, with hemispherical combustion chambers, was modified by Lancia, and it helped the engine outpunch its Fiat counterpart. Like the Fulvia and Flavia before it, the Beta featured front-wheel drive; the engine was mounted transversely, and tilted back by 20 degrees to allow for a better center of gravity and a lower hood.

It's a wonderful car to drive. It makes easy work of long distances and around town. I've owned a variety of cars over the years, and I would say that it's as much fun, if not more fun, than many others I owned. And it is amazingly economical to run plus listening to the engine is great.

While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
