vehicle description:

Welcome to my auction for a Lancia Thema Turbo 16v LS.
I"ll start with a bit of history. The Thema came from an italian family who used the car for many years as a family car. It came up for sale with an overheating problem, I decided to buy it as I had one 10 years previous and wanted another. We got the car home and tested the expansion tank for exhaust gas... there was.
Got it booked in for the head gasket to be done, at the same time I requested the head to be very lightly skimmed and crack tested and so on.
Then early last year I had the mad idea to take it on "The Great Rally" a 2500 mile road trip deep into the alps and around many passes and back. It did incredibly well and even surprised many of other entries.
Before said road trip myself and mechanic pal did ALL the timing and aux belts, bearings (water pump just before I had the car). Rocker cover gaskets changed as spark plug holes had filled up with oil. Serviced. New brake pads all round including front brake pipes and handbrake cable. All lights working including fog lights. Many parts from Walkers and Tanc Barrett.
Fitted Koni front suspension as one of the shocks was leaking also helped around the alps. Has a genuine K & N air filter that I have not long cleaned and reoiled.
Bodywork, rear offside wheel arch lower corner was badly rusted and holed so got a repair panel and welded it in. At the same time the sills both sides had 2 x cans of cavity wax blown into them and then the whole underside was sprayed with good quality black stoneguard as you can see in pictures.
Bad points the bonnet is black as original wanted to fold itself over the roof one day, the rest of the drivers side rear arch now needs tlc, see picture. The corners on the roof of the sunroof are scratched with some sort of knife, it leaked when i got the car now it does not.
Alloy wheels need some tlc.
Interior, it"s all there and all works apart from some bulbs gone in roof section, air con works would recomend re gas but does work. The seats show wear no rips though. There is a radio but you have to push it in to make it stay on, dry or loose terminals I guess.
I"ve just had it MOT"d last month with only advisories on 2 x outer cv boots. Expires May 2017.
I have put the original wheels back on, be warned the tyres are rather old.
The main bad point in my opinion is that there is a draw from the battery which I think is related to the 90"s alarm fitted so I keep a trickle charger plugged into it.
It"s great fun to drive as you well know if you have owned a Thema.
So a very usable car and a fast becoming modern classic.
Think that covers most if not all of it.
Any questions don"t hesitate to contact me.
Please no timewasters.
Cash on collection preferred.
Thank you for looking and good luck.
