Chris Hi Chris Stranger things have happened, we are still debating if this is for real as probably double what any Beta Spyder we have seen make in Europe and not even a really nice example. https://auctionata.com/intl/o/104288/lancia-beta-2000-spider-zagato-design-model-1977 Peter Title: Re: Value of the Aurelia B12 finally being acknowledged.... Post by: DavidLaver on 06 March, 2015, 11:43:03 AM I can believe the Beta Spider's "time has come". Its "of the age" and the survival rate in absolutely top condition is very low.
We also can't ignore "the market" in general. When looking for my first car a Beta Coupe was top of my list. I ended up with an Alfasud and then a 998 Cooper. Try finding any Alfasuds, then what would it take to put one right... As for Minis: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C459767 http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C587786 http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C473406 If I had money to spend on a classic (I don't, but many friends are at that stage now) a Beta with nothing on its "to do" list would be a really attractive prospect. The thread here I'm enjoying the most is the Y10 restoration - I wouldn't have expected that to be the case even five years ago. David |
