Saw this lancia while I was browsing

I'd love to have that car as a summer daily driver... I've been interested in Beta coupes for a while now, and a FI model is the way to go. Too bad I don't have the space or $ for a fourth car :(

 

As the resident Lancia owner on CR, if anyone is interested in one, I'd be happy to help.

I liked the beta Scorpion better, but they were both a lot of fun to drive. This one's a good example, (for a '76) except for the retarded Ferrari stickers. What's Italian for "rice"? :D

What? An underpowered car that is cool because it's foreign and there isn't as much of them around?

 

Get a Yugo, much cooler. tongue.gif

Unfortunately, a handful of Scorpions have been "riced":

note the cut springs/bad camber, and bumper covers swapped from some random car!

Unlike your car...and the Yugo, they designed and built competition vehicles. The catch of living in "the best damn country on earth" is, we get shittified versions of cars. ;)

It "can" make as much power as your GTP "can", chris. ;)http://www.homepages.hetnet.nl/~scorpion037/037_1981.jpghttp://www.josef-bayer.de/roehrl/images/rally037.jpg

I looked into buying a Scorpion back in the late 80's. The guy who was selling it had some cashflow problems and needed to unload it. I don't know what he had done to it but I accidentally took off in third (it had the closest gates I'd ever driven at that point.) and it roasted the tires. Plus it's hard to dislike anything with a body by Pininfarina. ;)
