I took the saloon to the monthly VSCC meeting in Ripon. The fine weather brought out a good selection of cars, mostly open and sporty in nature. The dark green Lancia Beta Coupe is a real rarity, there being less than a dozen known to be roadworthy. This one has a race tuned engine that has taken the power up to 180bhp. The owner was very pleased when I remembered to take him an original sales brochure for the car. I always like to think that I give people good advice but back in the 1970's I did suggest that my Father should buy a Lancia Beta!
