This vehicle was recently restored for an amount of over R 40 000,- by Cape Towns leading Lancia restorer.Find in the following examples of truly outstanding workmanship. | |
The steering system: For a tigher grip it was obviously decided to remove the rubber disc coupling for the steering box. | |
However, it must have felt a bit too tight, as now the bolts have been loosened, now the steering has sufficient play that the car requires the full width of the road. | |
The brake system was taken from some other undisclosed car | |
even though it does produce some hydraulic pressure,
not much is trying to stop the car on the road | |
The passengers door does open, the doorgap is set by the famous south african even resource distribution |
|
the same system was tried on the drivers side, which unfortunatily like with its bigger brother lead to some collateral damage. | |
Precise door gap |

|
Special attention was given to the interior, the provenance of the seats is unknown, | |
but the economically relocated light switches are partially from a Lancia Beta |
|
Dashboard and door trims are completely handmade. |
|
The color of the wood is spot on, something that can hardly be said of the shape. |
|
Which becomes apparent if we see how the dashboard joins to the A-Pillar. |
|
Last not least, we can see, that by firmly wedging the door in its lower corner the bodyshell is given additional strenghening. |
