Title: Unknown Lancia Grille, at least to me.
Post by: fay66 on 08 November, 2007, 11:56:13 AM
Can anyone identify this Lancia radiator grille I came across recently.
It appears to be a mix of 1980-1990's grille with 1960-1970's Emblem ???

I may be wrong, but it looks like it is from a series 2 Beta berlina.  There is a picture of one on page 25 of the Lancia Beta collectors guide by Brian Long!

Hi Stuart,
I've had another look & it's certainly not a Beta Berlina Series 2 or 3, but it maybe a series 1, although all the pictures seem to show it in black not silver, Where's the Beta Boyz ? ;D

there used to be annoying trend of pinching VW badges from cars.I do hope your not guilty of a whole Lancia grill Brian!

why don't we think its a series 2 beta saloon? it certainly seems to look like the one in pictures in La lancia.(and doesn't look like the series 1 featured)

This picture is on Wikipedia, and I am fairly sure the grille is the same as the one you are asking about!

Spot on Gentleman, I stand corrected ::) William, not guilty of nicking a whole grille ;D Around the time of the pinched VW badges I was working at VW dealers after being made redundant, VW's profits must have been well up that year by the number we sold along with the replacements for stolen face off radio cassettes, :D but if anyone needs it I can tell them where, & it's brand new!
