Lancia Gamma Forum

Lancia Gamma berlina 2.5 manual for sale.  January 1980 RHD, originally UK-registered OGC 155V.  Last UK road tax expired 31 December 1983. First taxed in Ireland 12 July 2011, expired 30 June 2012. Odometer reads 26100 miles. I am reluctantly selling this car because I have no storage space at home.  I bought the car in July 2021 for €2550.

The following work (€7259.04 expenditure) has been carried out since I acquired the car: PAS pump relocated to front of engine (new pump); complete new Lancia exhaust system; engine oil and filter replaced; coolant replaced; new air filter; new plugs; new drive belts; four new brake discs; four rebuilt calipers (from Gamma Consortium); full set of new brake hoses; full set of new brake pads; new front suspension bushes; new bonnet gas struts; alloy wheels refurbished; four new tyres; twenty new wheel lug nuts (OE Lancia); new battery; new fuel pump and filter.

The car was resprayed black by a previous owner; its original colour was silver. It needs new paint; there are several areas of surface bubbling on body panels. No evidence of structural or other serious rust or damage has been detected during the work listed above.

Oil pressure shows low, but I understand that this is a common problem and is related to the gauge and not the pump. The car starts, drives, steers, stops and handles well.  The engine maintains a normal temperarure in urban traffic and on the motorway.

Everything electrical works – but not always all the time.  Electric windows are sluggish, as is the central locking; I suspect that cleaning all electrical connections will solve these issues. Blue L-logo upholstery; edge trim missing from rear of driver’s seat.

I have been unable to extend my garage to include this car, and so I rent a parking space in a closed mult-storey car park five miles away, and this is proving to be an impediment to regular work on the car. This car deserves a good home with a Lancia enthusiast. The car is located in Dublin.
