Hey all, just wanted to introduce myself to the Lancisti.
My name's David Micallef, living in North West Tasmania, Australia.
I have recently become the proud owner of a 81 Lancia Beta Coupe 2000, found the old girl sitting in the work shed of a customer looking lonely and forlorn. A week later i parted with the princely sum of $500 and drove her home. She needs some work...rust around front and rear screens and bottom corner of r/h door, oil pressure low, gear selectors, brakes, interior re-trim. But otherwise a sound and drivable car, with typical italian style and grace.
She now sits alongside my 68 Fiat 1500 mk.III, another beauty with 1800 DOHC conversion and 5 speed. Just love those Italian girls!!
It's a pleasure to be a member of your forum and I look forward to chatting with you and learning more.
regards, David.

David, thanks for signing on to the forum! It's the participation of Lancisti in the forum that both makes it easier to keep running the cars and adds another dimension of enjoyment to them.

And thanks for posting the snaps of your Beta. It looks to me like you got a real bargain for $500. And silver suits the lines of the Beta exceptionally well, I think.

Regards -- Shaun Pond
