Title: beta sales brochures/literature Post by: rossocorsa on February 20, 2010, 11:48:59 AM for many years I collected sales literature and models of Lancias, as my priorities changed I ended up selling off most of my stuff on ebay but I decided to keep and focus on the Beta and specifically the front wheel drive cars only. I bought 'Lancia 70 years of trail blazing' recently which kind of helps as a substitute for the lack of my collection but that only covers the pre-Fiat cars which kind of set me off thinking and I've photographed the front of all the Beta related stuff I have, thought it might be interesting for others to see the breath of material they produced this is probably just the tip of the iceberg as I know there are things I don't have for instance the Beta HIFi brochure (always a bit pricey on ebay when they come up). Anyway one of these days I may well scan the contents of a few of these and post that as well
here's the link slide show (100 image limit so some missing) http://s724.photobucket.com/albums/ww247/rossocorsa/lancia%20beta%20brochures/?action=view¤t=075c953c.pbw (http://s724.photobucket.com/albums/ww247/rossocorsa/lancia%20beta%20brochures/?action=view¤t=075c953c.pbw) all images http://s724.photobucket.com/albums/ww247/rossocorsa/lancia%20beta%20brochures/?start=all (http://s724.photobucket.com/albums/ww247/rossocorsa/lancia%20beta%20brochures/?start=all) Title: Re: beta sales brochures/literature Post by: carl59862 on February 21, 2010, 08:42:01 PM A very impressive collection indeed. Is the item 108 (http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww247/rossocorsa/lancia%20beta%20brochures/DSCF0394.jpg (http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww247/rossocorsa/lancia%20beta%20brochures/DSCF0394.jpg)) a brochure or just a poster? I haven't seen this one before - obviously a very early Beta publication.
