Title: Beta HPE VX completely restored
Post by: Jai Sharma on 17 April, 2022, 09:15:23 PM
I am selling my HPE VX. I bought this car last year at auction, some details are here.

In short, the car was absolutely and completely stripped and rebuilt as necessary. The underside and under bonnet is really as new and the condition score from he auction house was 134 out of 135. Certainly when I bought it I thought it was a very rare opportunity.
It has about 43k miles on the clock. I can't warrant it but I can believe it, if you see what I mean. The longest-standing owner before the person who restored it was a Lancia mechanic and it was his second car. Overall I am the sixth owner. It required very little welding but they still managed to spend £33k including the original purchase of the car three years back, with around 800 hours labour, and on top of that was a lot of unpaid time sourcing bits/organising etc. The previous owner had a number of Lancias restored (one was on Harry's Garage) and he thought this was the nicest Beta VX they did, although they were all done to a high standard. It comes with a brochure, original toolkit and a lovely photo book of the restoration.
Since I bought it I have done little to it other than have it checked over and change some door seals. It is silver.
I am offering it for sale as I have seven Italian cars and perhaps that is one too many. I'm looking for around £27.5k but open to sensible discussion.
I will try to post some more photos when I get time.

The following photos are from the book of the restoration. As such they are photos of photos, but hopefully they will help.
