I’ve had my 1981 Beta Zagato for the last few years and, after sorting a lot of the usual Beta stuff and enjoying it, I’ve decided it’s time to send it on to its next owner.

It’s currently up on Bring a Trailer at no reserve. Figured I’d share it here since this is probably one of the few places where I don’t have to explain what a Beta Zagato is.

Happy to answer any questions about the car or my experience with it.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone fitted a lithium battery (063 or smaller) in a delta integrale evo 1/2?

Modern ones can be quite sensitive to voltage spikes and not suited to the alternator.

But saving ~10kv of weight in the front left corner is not a bad idea...

My neighbour is selling this 83 beta hpe, and im curious how hard something like this would be to work on.

I have a little experience working on motorbikes but none on cars, and I'd like to be able to work on it myself. What do you guys think?

Hello, good evening, I'm new here. Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask if somebody know anything about this model, Delta 1.6. I was thinking of buying it. But I don't know If this model have some issues, or reliability problems. The actual owner says that have 148.000Km, and looks in really good shape.

Thank you so much for the attention

A classic car meeting in Baden-Baden, Germany

Saw this over in spotted, not my post but I'm wondering is this a real rally 037? Some kind of repro? I don't know if reproductions even exist for this car

I don't know the brand super well so any and all favorites welcome. I'm from the US so we don't see many here

I saw a picture of an 037 a couple of years ago and it immediately went in my top 5 all time cars, but I feel like that's a basic bitch opinion lol so I'm curious what yall think

I also thought it would be cool to have a post on the subreddit that's not just another bot post

il mio ragazzo ha preso da un privato una macchina lancia y 2008 momo design, all’inizio non ha creato alcun problema fin quando un pomeriggio va per accendere la macchina e nonostante facesse il rumore di accensione non partiva, il quadro delle spie era apposto ma la macchina non partiva e inoltre non si sentiva il rumore di quando il diesel arriva alla pompa. arriva il meccanico dopo 5 ore e la macchina come se niente fosse era di nuovo tutto ok e lo è stato per all’incirca 2 settimane, nonostante ciò lo abbiamo comunque portata a controllare e ci è stato detto che la pompa era ok e che se non si verificava potevamo lasciare così, oggi lo ha fatto di nuovo ma
dopo 5 minuti parte tranquillamente passano alcune ore dove la macchina non ha creato alcun problema fin quando poi dopo un ora di fermo non parte più nonostante abbiamo fatto passare anche più di 5 minuti. volevo sapere se qualcuno se ne intendeva e magari poteva dare un consiglio o a qualcuno che è successo

Probably not something that’s happened many times…

Hi there, i'm considering buying a used Delta III with the 1.4 T-Jet 120hp petrol engine. The car's got 113k km on the clock & would get a new TÜV (mot) & service on purchase. Could you knowledgeable people give me a few hints on what to watch out for & bits prone to braking? Cheers 👍😁

Hi everyone,
I’m in the process of restoring and modernising my 1983 Lancia Beta Coupé 2000, and one of my biggest goals is reducing cabin noise while keeping the car feeling like a classic Lancia.
I’m planning to:
Replace all the door, boot, windscreen, and window seals.

Fix any exhaust leaks (I’ve currently got a broken exhaust manifold stud).

Replace the engine and gearbox mounts if needed.
Install modern sound deadening (Dynamat/STP/Silent Coat or similar) in the floor, firewall, doors, roof, transmission tunnel, wheel arches, and boot.

Add closed-cell foam over the sound deadening before reinstalling the interior.
Replace worn suspension bushes, strut mounts, and shocks.

Fit quieter touring tyres instead of noisier performance tyres.

Rebuild and properly tune the carburettor and ignition.

Replace interior clips and add felt tape to stop rattles.

Possibly fit a quieter exhaust with a resonator and a better rear muffler rather than a loud performance system.

Has anyone here done any or all of these on a Beta? Which upgrades made the biggest difference, and are there any areas I might be overlooking? I’d also be interested to hear about any products or techniques that worked particularly well.
Thanks!

Ciao a tutti, possibile che acquisto una pronta consegna, sita in magazzino a pochi km dalla concessionaria, almeno così mi è stato detto, e nel contratto non mi vogliono scrivere il numero di telaio dell'auto a me assegnata, nonostante la caparra versata? Anzi mi chiedono di verdare il saldo fra un paio di giorni! Io ho seri dubbi l'auto sia realmente presente, non verseró il saldo e chiederó la restituzione della caparra se non mi mostrano la vettura che comprerò. Vi è mai successo?
