2.0 At Bca Manchester

[ForzaLancia]

Rather nice 2.0 at auction next week, and it's a bit of a looker. In dark metallic bronze and cream leather interior. Not seen one like this in RHD, would this be a press car or one for a motor show or similar? Either way, its unfortunate it 100 miles from me and I'm at work.

Is there a link to it?

Looks a bit scruffy externally

I have to disagree about the colour - doesn't look great in the photos - maybe better in the flesh

The cream leather is nice though

[MikeyRules]

Yeah I don't like the colour either! It's like a rank mushroom colour! 

 

I'd be surprised if that front wing is salvagable? Needs a new N/S/F tyre, plus it's had a previous poor paint repair to the O/S/R quarter panel which will need checking over and probably re-doing. All 4 alloys are scrubbed, and there a fair few dents, chips and scratches, plus its not been serviced since 2016/27k!

 

It's a grade 4, but TBH BCA grade 1's can be bad...so buy with your eyes wide open lol.

This car is for sale on auto trader at 5k,never seen one like this before..

Love the interior colour with sunroof.must of been a launch car.

This would look so cool with the lancia badges.

Body work doesn't look to bad now bit strong at 5k though

[MikeyRules]

What did it go for in the end at BCA? Did anyone watch it go through? Fees would have been in the region of £350 - £450 depending on membership level...

 

If the dent guy managed to get that wing back in shape like it looks like he has, he needs a medal! …and is it me or have the alloys been resprayed losing the diamond cut? It's hard to tell from the pictures.... Shame it's wet in the pics too, as I bet some of the touching up isn't that great close up. 

 

Yeah I agree £5k is a hard sell in this market with a car like this, and they need to get it MOT'd and fully serviced if they want top dollar! 

[Alcantaradelta]

No i didn't see what it went through at,I did look at the link.

But like you said it's wet in the pictures.

They are really coming down in price now.

One day I'm going to get another when they are sub 2k..

Can't afford or justify spending a great deal on one but I think they are a great different looking car..

[ForzaLancia]

I did see it had re_surfaced. Prices will fall further I think as they cannot be driven (without charge) in the ULEZ in London and Birmingham which will kill prices further elsewhere. Not a problem if you live elsewhere though.

[Dido]

Not with the petrol ones.

[ForzaLancia]

Out of the 860 registered Deltas, just 295 are petrol. As the ULEZ hits the diesel residuals the petrols will get caught up in the crossfire, no pun intended.

[MikeyRules]

Well it's disappeared off AT, so someone has bought it!?

[Nello]

The MA unit in the Delta is impressive. Yes I know the early MA Actuators have failure issues (mine did!) but for the size of car you get decent performance - not bad acceleration and I have had 45 MPG on runs down to Devon.

Hello! Yes it was me!! The car has scrubbed up pretty well apart from the O/S/F wing which is a bit of an abortion, the wheels are ruined, I may try a repair but the diamond cut have all but disappeared on a couple of wheels. Changed the cabin filter at the weekend, it was FULL!! had to hoover the filter housing as there was so much dirt in it! the Diesel filter has not been changed for a few years, it's rusty! I'm not taking any chances so will fully service the car including timing belt, water pump as soon as possible.

Blown away by the interior, needs some TLC but it's a good base to start on.

I've chased a number of the 2.0 Deltas, I've missed quite a few!! Incredibly most dealers haven't got a clue about the cars and are really surprised by the number of call they get for them! I was lucky (?) to get this one, Lancia badges are on the way. I'll post photos when it's done!

Yes, when I was looking for mine the dealer was telling prospective customers that it was an ameican car so parts would be difficult to find and expensive

Fair play to him I suppose - he probably put a few off leaving the field free to me   

 

I take it back about the colour - it looks much better in your photos on the other thread

As the others have said, the interior is lovely 

Congrats and well wear
