Dear Boyz, thanks for the admission to your forum.

My name is Marco, i'm from Italy, and i'm owning a red Beta Montecarlo S2 yr 1980 restored at 90% and a Coupe VX yr 1985 that i hope to start rebuilding soon.

Before that, i also had a Kappa 20v and at daddy's home he had a S1 and a S3 Beta saloon, a S1 Thema ie, another Kappa still bringing him around, 2 Thesis (brother) and a Y (sister).

Regards.

Both look like they will make great cars when finished, compared to the UK cars I suspect the problems with corrosion will be much reduced? The Beta sold very well new in the UK but very few are left here, they are great cars well engineered and very stylish but here their reputation still suffers from the UK rust scandal of the early 80s. What is the situation in Italy are they are they starting to be regarded as true classics yet?

Not sure quite how Lancias got corrected to Lancaster - not that I don't like them too!

I can't really say there's attention to Beta here yet, my feeling is that it's still too constricted between the previous fancy models from the '60 plus the greatness of Fulvia coupé and Strato's in the '70 and her majesty Delta in the '90.

Something very attractive at the moment is 037 replicas, but this is totally another car and most of replicas are poor in quality of the reproduction, regardless the high cost (30 to 35k€), i believe it's a vogue that will pass over.

Zagatos and Monte have quotations still hanging at 10k€, these might get re-evaluated in a next future, but Coupe and HPE are almost forgotten from the market and Sedan and Trevi definitely are.

Take my words as they are, pure opinions of a pasioned guy, not a professional at all.

Cheers.
Marco

I would say, Monte stays around 10 and Spyder around 8 k€ thinking of two cars in fair conditions.
