Post by: lancialulu on 21 January, 2015, 06:31:14 PM
Only one of 3 taxed Prisma 1.6 i.e. Symbols in the UK...... Only 9 Sorned....

Now all fixed (sort of) and waxed ready for action.

Fantastic to see and looks good too.  I knew about the blue and red Symbols but I haven't come across a grey one before.  So yes, very rare!

Congratulations! I just bought a resin kit of a Prisma on e-bay and it got me wondering how you were getting on. They are wonderful cars so I know you are really going to enjoy it.

But a nice 4WD version might be even better!
Lovely to see it though Tim,
Do I take it you're getting hooked on Delta & it's derivatives?

They look Beta wheels, with a polished rim.

Delta 4wd and Integrale were \I believe the only Lancia 4x4s officially imported. I think there were 4x4 versions of various post Delta cars sold in Europe.

I have seen Graham's car which is very straight and in nice condition. The wheels are Beta and I would remove them in an instant. I am pretty sure they have the wrong offset and they just don't look right. The original wheels suite it perfectly or failing that some Dedra or Y10 alloys would do.

Graham why not put this Prisma in the club car database (tab on top of forum) so we can keep track of these rare beasts......

Yes, they did - or at least one did. I nearly bought one in the mid-nineties. It was a local Nottingham car supplied by Goulders, rhd in dark blue; it was with a back street second hand dealer who left me to look over the car whilst he looked after another potential customer. I checked the oil dip stick and found there was no oil in it, so when he came back and offered me a test run I declined until he topped up the oil. He said he wasn't spending any money on, so I left it! I've often wondered what happened next...

Hi Graham
I've done a reset on your database account so you should've received a password from the system. Please let me know if you have any further problems ... not sure why the reset didn't work in your case as your data looked ok.
regards,
Steve

Graham, if you search e-bay for "lancia" and filter on auctions and newly listed there are a set of original Prisma wheels listed.
