Description
1987 Lancia Thema 8. 32 Series 1
Finished in Reflex Green with dark tan Poltrona Frau leather interior.
Only 62, 000 miles / 101, 000 km
The Lancia Thema 8. 32 was unveiled at the 1986 Turin Auto Show and was so called because it was fitted with a Ferrari 8 cylinder 32 valve engine based on the Ferrari 308 unit. The biggest surprise with the Thema 8. 32 though was the price. At around £40, 000 (approx £100k in todays money), not only was it more expensive than more luxurious offerings from rivals such as Jaguar, Mercedes and BMW, it was over twice as much as Lancia's own Thema Turbo. Not surprisingly this is a very rare sight on UK roads given the original cost new, and that it was only available in left hand drive.
This particular example was supplied new by Lancia main agent Auto Center Munchen GmbH on 17th December 1987. It comes with a very comprehensive service history file and was still being maintained by Lancia/ Fiat main agents right up until 2009 when it had covered circa 83, 000 kilometres. There are invoices on file and the original stamped service booklet is also present. Most recently it had a cam belt service in 2024.
Comes complete with original handbooks (in original Lancia pouch), service book, spare keys, toolkit etc.
A very rare opportunity to acquire what is a very special car indeed, in a most attractive colour combination and that appears to have been exceptionally well maintained throughout its life.
