    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.

    You could use a lint remover to heal the seats. I have used it on alcantara and it makes it look fresh :)

    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 😊

    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.

    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.

    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
