Beschreibung
1978 S1 Lancia Gamma 2 door GT Coupé 2500.
An original UK registered right hand drive car, it has had some reconditioning, including a repaint several years ago, although this is now showing signs of wear and could be refreshed.
The odometer shows 51, 853 miles, which is not warranted, but the history file together with MOT certificates back to 1987, and the DVLA MOT history record are consistent, with current MOT valid until September 2022.
In red, (Lancia Rosso Corsa), combined with a beige cloth interior, brown carpet, and brown protective mats, the car is in fair original condition and drives well. Its not a perfect example, but a very good roadworthy one, and rarely available, it catches attention wherever it goes. Most of these cars are in long term ownership.
Unfortunately, I don't drive it enough to justify keeping it, and now struggling for space.
Comes with owner's handbook, Lancia toolkit, and history documentation file.
Priced in fair condition : £5, 700 ono.
