Title: Eziocar from Italy
Post by: eziocar on March 10, 2013, 11:15:27 PM
Hello everyone, my name is Andrea (in Italy it is a male name  ;D ) and I write from Turin in Italy, the native city of the brand Lancia  :) even if today the real brand has remained little , I live in the Torino area where it was the old factory that now no buildings survive (Via Caraglio) ... :'( , street Lancia and skyscraper that has now been divided in flats .
I am the owner of a few brand cars, I have a pair of Lancia Delta, 1300Lx first series (1985) and a Delta HF Turbo of 1988 , I have an almost complete collection of A112, from the first to last series including also 2 Abarth , I had 2 Beta HPE that I sold and now I'm finishing the restoration of a HPE Volumex of 1983 dark gray metallic that if I can I will show you in the picture  ;)
I will try to participate in this wonderful forum even if my English is not perfect and I'm sorry if sometimes I write some howlers  ;D

Hi Andrea

You are more than welcome and your English is pretty good as far as I can see, so do not worry about that!

Peter

Hello Andrea

Welcome to the forum, there are Lancia owners from all over the world here, I am in Brisbane Australia and have a modified S1 coupe that I use for racing, your English is very good!

Looking forward to some pictures of your HPE!

Are there many Betas still on the road in Italy?
