Highlights
- Thema Turbo 16V Second series with very low mileage
- Only three previous owners
- Recently overhauled mechanics
- Overhaul valid until December 2024
- Hard to find in this condition and with this mileage
The Appeal
The Thema was Lancia's attempt to conquer a very important market sector dominated by BMW and Audi. If the Gamma had been unusual and complex, the Thema was more conventional and reliable, but with an attractive touch of Lancia style.
The 2 Series saw the arrival of the 16-valve cylinder head for the classic 2-litre Lampredi twin-shaft engine. The addition of a turbocharger gave the Thema performance worthy of a large Italian saloon. Cleanly styled and very versatile and capable, these cars are perfect for everyday use and are truly interesting modern classics.
The seller describes this Thema as a 'white fly'. It is certainly a very rare example, an original 2-litre 16v Turbo with less than 40,000 kilometres travelled in the hands of its three previous owners. With mechanics recently tuned by the seller, it is one of the best examples of these superb cars we have had the opportunity to admire in recent months.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
