Amongst much discussion at Betameeta was the topic of the increasing scarcity of HPEs. So it was heartening to note that this months Viva Lancia contains mention of two;

Omicron are working on one. Interesting, because despite their great reputation they were distinctly dismissive to me when I tried to order a clutch cable from them. Right or wrong I felt that their attitude related to me being a Beta owner.

Secondly there is a VX HPE for sale. Owner since 1990, 70,000 miles, sounds good value at £3500.

I'm afraid Omicron have had that attitude towards newer Lancia owners  - they even said to me that they want the work done but don't want to pay for it.

I felt that might say more about their charges than attitudes of Beta owners. 

The work they do is of good quality but I think you can get as good for less.

Spoke to Omicron once regarding a replacement panel for my Beta. After being talked down to for a minute or so instead of being helped I decided to enquire elsewhere!

Well, perhaps it's a good sign that someone is prepared to spend big money on a HPE?

More to the point is anyone interested in the one for sale?
