Hello
My name is Stuart and i have only just joined your forum, I have a lancia beta coupe 2000 ie y reg 1983 and i was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me what type of engine is in it, as i keep seeing parts for the volumex and hpe. I will be restoring it and was wondering if there was any areas i should focus on.
with thanks Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Welcome to the forum first of all ! 

Now - it would be handy to have some pictures posted up of your car so when you get a chance  Grin Grin

Assuming your car is standard then you have a late Beta Coupe which is fuel injected, the date of registration backs this up as its an 1983.

The VX or Volumex refers to the cars that have superchargers fitted. (Pretty much all you'll see/hear about are VX Coupé & HPE's although there was a Trevi VX)

The HPE refers to the High Performance Estate model, these run same engines as the Coupé, Spider and Belina bodied cars but obviously the bodyshell differs.

Spiders are the convertibles and the Berlina is the Sedan version, then theres a few other shaped cars like the Monte Carlo which has pretty much the same engine but it is a Rear/Rear configuration (engine in the back and RWD) There is also the Trevi which is part of teh Beta family but with more square/boxy shaped body.

Have a wander through the members gallery and you'll see all of teh different models - even thecolonels big old Gamma!  Which was the next model up from the Beta

Welcome to the forum! Smiley
I've also got an IE (HPE) so i'll do my best to help if you come across any problems with the IE setup, generally there pretty reliable when running properly and actually work well for such a basic system.
Be good to see some pics. when you get around to it, the uploading of pics. has been brought up more than once somewhere on the forum maybe someone can find it and paste here?

Looks initially solid body-wise from the pic, always a good start to a project, is it equally the same underneath? Keep us posted with all your work and good luck. There's a members cars section if you'd like to start a blog for others to see as well as a record of what you have done for yourself.
