Guys
I have just got a little bit excited and would love to see this go to a Forum member
1985 LANCIA Y10 TURBO RED, one owner from new, only 12,500 miles.

Have a look on ebay.

I thought you were referring to the £4,000 Sisley on Gumtree (here if you haven't already seen it)!

Great find but sounds like it needs quite a bit of work despite low mileage. I imagine the engine would be fine once it's been stripped, honed and reassembled.

UNO alloys and Panda 4x4 spare

There was a Y10 turbo on last week?

Way ahead of you...

That looks in amazing condition for a Y10! Shame about the engine, although it could just be a stuck starter or dodgy connection. It is also being sold by a dealer very local to me

Hmmm I think you should buy it

Worst case scenario you'll need to pop the head off and fill the bores with wd40 overnight. Turn the crank by hand and once free, drop the sump, tap the cylinders out and check the bores. New crank bearings and possibly piston rings are available and while the head is off clean and polish the ports and renew the valves and seals. Should be a weekend well spent.

Just done a dvla check on the reg, it has been off the road since 1987

The vehicle details for C814 CYN are:
Date of Liability 30 01 1987
Date of First Registration 13 12 1985
Year of Manufacture 1985
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1049cc
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type PETROL
Export Marker N
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour RED
Vehicle Type Approval Not Available

Well that explains the low mileage but not why it was only on the road for a year - at most!

Makes you wonder if it was stored because the owner was ill/old or if there was a serious problem with it. Also as the seller appears to be a car trader, very odd he hasn't at least got it running to boost the sale price - curiouser & curiouser

Still worth the current price of course

Y10 Steelies where always the same as post 86 4x4 Panda wheels. Mine are the same.

Would have been under a warrantee I'd have thought surely

I can't believe this isn't going for much more already. It should almost go to a museum (if I didn't feel that would be a shame not to go to a loving owner that will rack up some miles on it).

That car was sold at auction last year.It came from a collection that had flood damage,thus the locked engine!!It had the original wheels last year so not sure why it has uno wheels on.

I was sure i've seen it before.

Big shame for the current owner/seller only done some valettinig/ engine bay clean up without trying to sort out the engine issue.

Ah! I saw this one in the flesh at the Beaulieu auto jumble last year, didn't guess it was the same car as it certainly didn't look like a low mileage example back then. I think it sold for just over a grand in the auction there. I stand by my previous post, 'looks like a lot of work despite the low mileage. '

Hmm doesn't mention flood damage as part of it's history!

Still I think it's worth the hassle, as long as it was properly dried once flooded and not left with a pond in the footwells!

Engine isn't a defo right off either....maybe it could get a juicy capacity increase for example :devil:

Hardly a 'barn find' then as described by the vendor, unless the barn was located in Atlantis.
