Hi Martin,
its nice to get a reply from you.
I bought my Lancia Beta Spider in 2001.
Its manufactured in 1982 and has been at 2 previous owners only. It was always owned by someone who used it once a week max. I drive a Honda Accord myself.

The previous one is an owner of a large mechanical and spray garage in Malta and has always taken good care of it. The garage is next to a popular local race-track mainly for anyone who wants to show off his car and speeeeed! So they tuned the 2.0 ltrs engine into a semi-racing engine maintaining only Lancia parts.

Its really fast and sturdy car. Its great at high speeds because its so robust and heavy on the ground you notice its really easy to do 140 miles and here thats way out.

The island doesnt offer too many roads for these speeds at great lenghts but thats ok.

We tried the 0-62miles and the first time with me as an amateur it clocked a surprising 7.5 secs, the same as a modern R-Type racing Honda!!

My Lancia has a slightly broken tail lamp and the left door needs to lock, otherwise its in mint condition.

I also have a once used set of racing tyres (Firestone) but I never tried them, what do you think?

I use the car once every 3 weeks max except for Spring and Summer.

Theres only one other Spider in Malta and its not in mint condition and its owners has done a body kit to it! Its a 1978 one and its yellow. What can you tell me re the red one and yours?

Looking forward to hearing from you,
take care,
regards from Malta,
Chris Sacco
