Lancia Thema Turbo ie

[Leema]

Hi all, well this is kinda last chance saloon so to speak, im in desperate need of a few parts for my 89 Lancia Thema, i bought it 4 Months ago and stored it until i'd finished playing with the now gone GTE 16v.
The Thema needs maybe 2 headlight units, indicators built in, a front bumper off a later model, for the eyesight reasons really, A rear Quarter, RHD Drivers side, although it is the bottom of the arch at the sill that isnt very nice not the whole Quarter.
Getting ahead of myself maybe a full Leather interior.
Anyone out there have the knowledge of such things, not many seem to!!

Thanks

Lee

Nearly bought one of these about 20 years ago but was put off by the sheer number of flashing lights on the dash and the fact that only half of the electric windows worked. A few weeks later I saw the same car parked by the side of the road in a cloud of steam with the bonnet open. Dodged a bullet there...

This one was an 8V on an 87 D plate but went and handled well although the 195/60 14 tyres were easily overwhelmed. Inside it was a fantastic mixture of Fiat Uno-esque plastic and Alcantara palace. I liked it a lot.

A couple of years later a mate bought an ie. NA version for less than £100. It was a fine tool and made me wish I'd had bigger cobblers when that Turbo slipped the net.

Did a clutch on one when i was a Mechanic back in the early 90's, absolute swine of a job as the boss insisted it was possible with the engine in place (proper way was to drop the whole front cradle out complete with engine/box using a two post lift, seperate engine and box replace clutch then put the whole lot back), got it done though and the road test was well worth it.

Remember it being a very understated car, as mentioned lovely Alcantara interior, blistering performance (for the time)

Cant help with the bits, best of luck though.

Try the consortium, if that fails try the lancia motor club.

I had a Fiat Croma 2.0ie Turbo and loved it...apart from the flashing warning lights too. Usually bad earths on the ights. Some parts may be interchangable as it was a shared platform. Also with a SAAB too if I remember correctly.

There's Lancisti.net also.

Have to say, my Thema is a little scarcer than the turbo and I've never really had a problem tracking bits down on eBay.

If you do go the leather route, those from the 8.32 are preferable to the standard cars. Far better seats, deeper bolsters etc. They look similar but are chalk and cheese.
