Lancia Beta Volumex
Discussion
I wonder if that's a genuine VX or not. Window trims are all silver which isn't right, but it does have the correct bonnet and looks like there at least used to be a spoiler on the tailgate. That said, getting a second hand spoiler is impossible now unless betaboyz have started making them. I ended up improvising after having to replace my rusty original with the spongey spoiler

Thanks for nothing Breadvan...I have now landed up with this!

According to the listing the seller is willing to post to UK!
It runs so looks like a good donor car at the very least!
Thank God that ended before I read this.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191202122347?ssPageName=...

Looks like a money pit to be proud of.
Very interesting reading this topic with posts from Beta-heads! I've had two HPE's in the past, the first an HP Executive that was bought for 650 quid at an auction and an HPE 2000 IE that I picked up for 280 quid after a lucky drive-by. The Executive was written off by a friend (a long sad story) and the 2000 IE was part-exchanged by my father for a Citroen BX!!
My father actually got me into Lancias after he bought a Beta Berlina 2000 that we drove to Italy for a family holiday. It was a great car with a massive parcel shelf which accommodated my brother for sleeping purposes!
Now I am a little older and supposedly wiser, I would like to revisit those salad days but with a Volumex. I used to see one every day driven by a pilot (I was in the RAF) and would drool every time I saw it. Maybe the romantic fool in me will buy one or hopefully I can convince my father to! Let's see what happens..........

Go for it whilst they are still cheap but I would recommend just going for the best condition coupe you can find rather than specifically a volumex as all betas in really good nick are few and far between.

My father bought a new Beta Berlina 2000 back in 1979 (RCK 182T in Red), chose it over a Alfa Giulietta 116 due to the lack of a transmission tunnel therefore allowing me to stand on the floor between the front seats!DELTAHPE said:
Two more vx coupe turned up on eBay this week both look at least half decent and one is a Stratton
Very surprised when the bidding on that stratton went to 4.1k with days to run! not too surprised no-one wanted to advance upon that in the closing minutes.Still waiting for that elusive cheap mint fissore to come my way!
Not another one! There seem to be more barns than I ever realised...

The driver's seat cover looks like a well loved teddy bear.
