Came across some pics while sorting the lappy, so thought I'd share:

Yes!

I love these. The test drive I had in one a few years back is still a strong memory.

I'm sure it's good fun. It's different and has a Ferrari engine - not many saloons can say that.

But how do you live with that Godawful interior?

[Justayellowbadge]

I love the interior - it is a very very pleasant place to be.

i went to the original launch of this in monaco and always been fascinated with these cars ever since.

Ace!

(Not 100% sure about the rear spoiler though)

[Justayellowbadge]

When extended the spoiler lines up exactly with the back of the bumper. Very handy as a parking aid.

Other than that, it stays down.

To me, that is a beautiful interior

[CraigW]

agreed, I love that, they looks lslightly like integrale seats

[AndyBe]

A mate of mine has one of those. (The engine is out for a rebuild). Same colour - with black leather.
Beautiful inside. All leather and real wood.

Remember seeings pics of thisa a while back. Top PH car, looks great.

The interior looks wonderful aswell, no idea what that other chap is on about. Very opulent! Makes me think of an Italian Saab for some reason.

Lancia Thema
The Lancia Thema was an executive car produced by the Italian automaker Lancia between 1984 and 1994, and was one of four cars to share the "Type Four" chassis alongside the Alfa Romeo 164, Fiat Croma and Saab 9000. The Thema was first shown in Turin Motor Show in 1984.

I knew it!

That's lovely JayB

Love the interior too, looks very comfortable.

How often are service intervals? (Belts etc)

How many miles has she done?

Mmmmmmmm always had a thing for the Lancia Thema, both the turbo and the 8.32. Lovely cars, something a little different, understated and very stylish. Very nice example.
