Rare car. Only ~50 exmaples of the Series 3 imported to the UK. I own one of the three known remaining ![]() Weird dashboard and interior as fitted to the later Trevi, mentioned above. |

Very nice car, and really interesting aviation inspired dashboard. A touch of avantgarde by a make that was much more daring in the past.. it was time to dare again then, as it is now! |

Died in 1992. DVLA details for BLB 86Y are: Date of Liability 01 07 1992 Date of First Registration 17 09 1982 Year of Manufacture 1982 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1585CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour WHITE Some confusion in data sources about dates, but looks as if all Beta S3 Berlina production stopped in 81, so this one could have been at least a year old before registration. Apparently only one Beta S3 Berlina on road in UK today - also 82/Y plates. with the chaos about rusty Betas and sales collapse, perhaps these orphans are not surprising. -- Last edit: 2011-02-05 02:45:40 |
