Title: Beta at home, first gallery ...
Post by: sharknose on June 12, 2022, 05:35:45 PM
Well boys, beta 1600 Coupe is finally home. I can't get the small licence plate, because our laws don't know such thing (legacy of Balcans ...) ... The car works very well, since his last italian registration in 1994 ... I had some problems in the beginning (the first hour of drive), because the transmission didn't work well (i couldn't get the first and the second gear, or riverse ... So i had to start the drive in the third gear ... After half an hour of drive i could use the first gear ... Next day i had a visitor (friend Tomaž, who owns two betas (spider and HPE VX)) and all the gears suddenly worked ... I feelt like an idiot, maybe i should performe an arm operation to switch my right arm with one that works well, hehe All the gauges and switches work, the some thing is with all lights and electrical equipment ... Now i don't drive around, because i'm waiting for my mechanic to get parts for cam belt change and a proper inspection ... This should happen in about 10 days ...

Wish you all a good motoring with betas  ... Marko

Betas of this vintage had full size license plates except perhaps in Italy. Nice car, Im sure you will enjoy it.

Hello, Neil-yaj396 ... Yes, i should find a new front bumper for betas that were exported ... I was still hoping that slovenian legislation knows small front plates, because i can get former italian back licence plate ... Thanks for nice words about the car ...
