RE: Shed of the Week: Lancia Dedra

[Richmarkbrice]

Had a 2.0 Dedra in Newport Blue for 2 years. It burned a fair amount of oil but was reliable, comfortable, fast and quite good on fuel. I did 20k in the first year and the chap I commuted with was amazed at what a nice car it was, he'd spent the same amount of cash on a 1.8L Cavalier, now that was a shed! As I recall it even had Alcantara on the roof! Top shedding!

There are some strange looking stains on the driver's seat ...

Balls/flaps sweat/follow through/liquid farts ect, all used cars will have some or all of this to some degree and even clean looking interiors under lab inspection will show bodily fluids of some sort and this example will have a nice 23 year mixture from several owners. Most used cars are a health hazard..

Lo all,

I feel the Dedra thread needs more photos so I'm donating two of my Integrale :-) :


And yes they do have something shiny in the engine bay):


No there is not a prize for naming where the first photo was taken.

Loved the Debra since I first saw one in Car magazine back in the day

Not brave enough to buy one now…

It’s such a shame Lancia no longer import to the UK and others don’t make saloon cars anymore.

The Beta, Dedra, Delta, Prisma and Thema, were all great cars.

There is such a lack of choice these days, it’s basically (for me) Alfa, Audi, BMW, Jaguar or Mercedes.

Have you seen any Lancia made in about the last 20 years?! Consider yourself saved!

There is one of those little things they sold wearing a Chrysler badge but they badged as a Lancia elsewhere living on my street.



I take it they aren't very good?
