Title: VX Coupe in Classic Car Weekly
Post by: TonyLanciaBeta on January 05, 2012, 10:59:06 PM
Nice article in CCW 4th Jan 12

Beta VX on the front cover "VX Coupe driven as Beta hits 40 years" with 3 full pages inside

I've seen the car at events, but can't place the owner (on here I'm sure)

Good to see the press picking up on the 40th ;D
also LMC get club mag of the week with Viva Lancia (with my photo on the front cover)  ;D ;D

Don't know who owns it now but was this the Beta that sold at the Anglia Car Auctions September 2011 for £3675. I know I should be the new owner as I am probably going to pay out that much just having mine welded!

Well sometimes I think the same but at least it's another one saved and hopefully mine will be pretty good when done as I am renewing as much as I can afford (probably more) . A car like this one looks better but will still need work and expenditure above the purchase price.
Not impressed with the write up full of inaccuracy and since when does a Saab 99 have more sporting cache(?) (did they not mean cachet anyway?)
