    My 1978 Lancia Beta HPE 1600 - it has a mustard yellow interior as shown below and was Rosso Corsa on the outside with a black vinyl roof.

    Features:
    Oil level indicator inside the car
    Dual air horns which gave that classic Italian Sports Car wheeeeinne noise which I loved
    A super sweet free reving twin cam engine and twin weber carbs which when you gave it the beans you could hear then sucking the air in.
    Total unreliability and the lack of towing eye fixture meant I always had to ensure the AA brought their tow truck as their roadside mechanics never had a clue how to fix it.
    There were a number of Monday mornings where my first call was to the garage in Perth to explain why my car was waiting outside having been dropped off by the AA.

    I have never loved a car more than this one and probably never will.

    Something not right there. Has it got some nasty body kit on it or did Lambo go mental towards the end of the Countach line?
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    Top one was the 'anniversary' one they did just before it was replaced by the Diablo.
