I'm not sure if it sold or not as it had a reserve on it. When I last looked it was at £5200 with 2 days to go but when I went to look later the ad had disappeared.
Looks like a good deal for someone with a lot of time on their hands. Although most buyers would probably prefer an Alfa V6 to a Lancia 2.0 4 cylinder.
The car on ebay actually belonged to a mate of mine and was purchased from JHclassic's. It was an early car and the lancia engine bolted in from underneath in a sort of sub frame if I remember correctly. I have seen it running as well.
Paul the original owner had it some 12/13 years before I purchased mine and I've had mine 17 years!! that makes it 30 years old!!! Blimey! He had got to the stage where he had had enough and could never see the light at the end of the tunnel. He sold it to fund a z-car mini or that was his idea anyway.
Looking at the photo's on ebay clive hasn't touch it as it's exactly how he got it from paul.
Does anyone here have a set of jhclassic/deon gt spec's?
Wheelbase and front/rear track.
I'm just in the process of designing my chassis and I'm using my deon as a starting point. Unfortunately I forgot to take accurate measurements before I'd dismantled it all!
I'm going to stick with the deon set up but just upgrade the components.
