Title: New Coupe Owner from Germany Post by: beta.muc on August 25, 2013, 01:54:37 PM Hello all,
I`m Chris from Munich, Germany and since Wednesday proud owner of an 1975 Beta Coupe 1800. Found it online 2 months after it was posted and was quite surprised it was still available. An retired former Lancia/Fiat mechanic who owns 4 Lancia Betas sells them due to lack of space. I bought the Coupe in Deggendorf, Lower Bavaria. The first 35 years of its life the Beta was driven by a lady in Zürich, Switzerland. I`m sure I`ll find some helpful information here to keep the Coupe in good condition. Cheers, Chris Title: Re: New Coupe Owner from Germany Post by: MattNoVAT on August 25, 2013, 02:12:43 PM Welcome to the forum Chris, I've already said on FB that I think your car is beautiful and that your a very lucky man.
I look forward to seeing more pictures of this increasingly rare car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free (http://tapatalk.com/m/) Title: Re: New Coupe Owner from Germany Post by: smithymc on August 25, 2013, 03:50:30 PM Welcome Chris,

I've always thought yellow to be a perfect colour for the coupe. Geoff Title: Re: New Coupe Owner from Germany Post by: rossocorsa on August 25, 2013, 10:17:37 PM Great colour classic 70s

does anyone of you know wether the guy(s) from the lanciabetaparts.co.uk site are on holiday? i wrote them some emails how much the shipping to germany will be, but i didn`t recieve an answer. Two of my gear linkage bushes are broken and i saw they are available on the site. Cheers Title: Re: New Coupe Owner from Germany Post by: Neil-yaj396 on September 04, 2013, 06:59:59 AM Mark has gone quiet at the moment, not sure why, but the site isn't his main job i think. I'm waiting on a reply re a shock absorber gland nut. I'm going to try a phone call later this week.
