1979 Lancia Gamma Coupe 2500cc. Blue Scuro with blue crushed velour upholstery. It is equipped with the larger 2.5-litre engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.

The car has just 53, 000 miles recorded which we believe to be correct and old mot certificates in the folder would seem to back this up although due to the age we are unable to guarantee this. The flat four boxer twin cam engine is a true sports car and with the 5 speed gearbox is very capable in modern traffic, and with power steering a real joy to drive. Importantly the cam belts were
