I'm so pleased you got her looking her best. And your friend will be pleased w the work you did, too.
Fantastic.
So much satisfaction w reinvigorating an abandoned, but beautiful, car.
Looks fantastic. This is a car that won't impress anyone unless they're a car geek who recognises the fact Lancia never sold these in the UK and it's basically an Italian E Class/5 Series rival. I agree the suede interior is a lovely thing. Could you very gingerly run a razor over it to remove the bobbling? Excellent job and so much car for so little money.
Fantastic looking car.
Isn't it
Fabulous, absolutely glorious!
Cheers!
Fantastic good job great work
Thank you
That interior.......opulent and beautiful
I know its great isn't it
You could use a lint remover to heal the seats. I have used it on alcantara and it makes it look fresh :)
thanks for the tip!
Just a tip, I've only learnt it the last year watching youTube videos . Avoid using a sponge and use microfiber wash mitts for washing cars as sponges can cause more swirl Mark's etc. Its helped me with my car! Keep up the good work 😊
Good to know!
Looks great! You should deffo keep her you wont come across another one in the uk.
We shall see
I like this color. It's a nice car.
Thanks
This interior is so beautiful and high quality... Nice car, Lancia made her before 20 years, it's classic future model...
Wish I could of kept it
Gorgeous interior!
It really is!
This is a prime example of why it’s important to pronounce your ‘th’s’ properly. So glad you did.
lol, I got some grief still
I must admit it, I wasn't convinced when you originally showed the car and thought it looked like a dog but as soon as you polished it then I changed my opinion and now love the car....even though it isn't automatic.
Cheers Mat
That's the modern version of the Thema I guess?
I'm a few years older than you, so Themas were readily available when I was in my car buying prime.
Fabulous cars, lovely level of trim and the 16v Turbos were bloody quick.
The seats in the Thesis look like Alcantara, very similar to the ones in my Themas.
Love a Thema!
@@ChopsGarage Hard to find these days. Had mine in late 90's where you could pick them up for buttons. Picked a last of line '93 Series 3 16v Turbo VIS in 2002 for £600. Not many people knew but they were quicker than a 8.32
Came up nice!
Cheers!
Playing catch up, it’s not in bad condition bodywork wise considering it’s been stood all that time anyway on with the cleaning
Thanks for baby wise tip will give it a go
does anyone have an idea how do you find suspension components fo these. Do new parts exist at all, what are the prices, Would wishbones or shock absorbers from an Alfa 166 for example fit?
Hey James. New subscriber here.
Working my way through your videos and loving them.
Don't get the "ugly car" title.
Front end of the Lancia is gorgeous, to me anyhow.
Welcome and cheers buddy
I wouldn't mind driving it here (in NL). Are you inclined to sell it anytime soon?
Yes going to sell it now just got to get round to listing online
Sei un grande! Your are cool!
Many thanks

This was such a great luxury car when it was new, so special and comfortable. Shame to see it fall this low.

Yes it is , but on Ebay now
I actually had one of these cars. My dad bought it, he loved it, however morning after a friend's birthday party and huge win at the races, he was done at 11am the next morning for drunk driving. I actually loved it. Bit big for someone young but suited my work needs. Sold it and bought an RS Cosworth
legend!!
If selling where will it be advertised?
Probably ebay and Facebook
Let the followers know so we can have 1st dibs? Had a 20vt Thesis a few years back here in the uk. Be good to have another go...
@@ChopsGarage did you ever sell the thesis?

@@ChopsGarage any chance of some details as not on Facebook.
Ugly? Not to me. I, like you have a thing for Italian cars. That interior though is Hilton quality for sure.

Wasn't she lol!
This is a European car never sold in the UK.
Correct
What's the back story on this Beauty? Polish reg. Unseen here, found under a tree! Smells fishy!
How do you mean fishy? Brought in from Poland to UK, left at garage under a tree, garage closes customer needs to sell. Not sure whats fishy?
@@ChopsGarage Had the bare bones. Now i have some flesh. Please don't be so defensive! X
One fugly looking car!
Lol
Car is uglly as hell!
Iraliam lancia designer probably had few too many wine while designing this car when he got to the front😂😂 what an ugly piece
Nooo! It's lovely
Reminds me of the front of old rovers. I had one of these and it was such an amazing car to drive. Have owned BMWs and I have a BMW x5 for my winter and long distance vehicle....bmws don't come close to the fun element of driving one of these.
The worst car ever made...
Said a BMW fan??
