I bought a Gamma berlina today.  It was an impulse buy.  It's a 1980 car -- manual gearbox, running, driving, sticky brakes, no apparent significant rust. Will I regret this?  It cost me €2550.  Not the end of the world even if it's not a sound as it appears to be.  More to follow in due course. You only live once!

Is that correct euro's ?
If so which country, so we can evaluate the value of the model compared to UK prices.

John is listed as living in Dublin, the last Lancia I test drove from the 1980s, was in Co Monaghan 5/6 years ago, it more or less self combusted after it had come to a halt!

The Gamma arrived this morning.  It's not flawless, but I have a good feeling about it.

Frank, I bought this car from a guy in Ballybay, Co. Monaghan.  It's black (not original colour), manual, 2.5 litre.  It was originally a UK car.  Same car that you looked at a few years ago maybe?

Regards,

John.

That's sounds very much like it John! Stick up some photos, wishing you all the best with your purchase

Yes , post some pictures! So few of these around now. The price sounds fine. Make sure you do those belts before driving it, they’re easy to do. Good luck with it.

The new power steering pump installation was finished today.  I can now drive the car without trepidation.
