Hi all,

Just managed to persuade a family friend to part with his Beta he has had for over 20 years, she's in fine fettle and now she's mine !

Will try to upload a pic, forgive me if i mess this up.

Thanks
Tony

Welcome to the forum Tony

Great to see a car in such nice condition, you must be very proud of it.

Has she covered many miles?

Very nice indeed, congratulations.

Thanks,

The mileage is just under 76k, there are one or two issues I must attend too, rear main seal is weeping, but I keep an eye on this and will change come winter time, engine out job I believe. Plus the drivers seat and hood will need some attention, but body wise and mechanically its very good.

There is even the original body colour sticker on the underside of the boot. I believe this car has been garaged for the last 30 years and I will keep it garaged and covered too, try to keep that body in good order.

The more I drive it the more I'm loving it.

Looks good - even has the original long stalk mirrors.

About the only thing I'd day is it should have the oblong lights not the 4 light set up. That said the correct lenses for the original lights are like rocking horse poo and the light output is worse !

Where in Essex are you ?

Thanks, Funny you mention the lights, with the car I got a few different headlight surrounds with it, and a spare grill, so maybe they were changed.

I am in Romford.
