Non-runner? Check.
Not road legal? Check.
Filler cracks showing? Check.
Waste of a classic car? Check.

I suppose the retro Momo Arrows could be worth something but the rest of the car should be crushed. There's no way it'll pass an SVA.

Poor car.

Lancia / Fiat Twin cam 8v engine 155bhp 67000 miles

Seems odd..... A twin cam 8v.... im pretty sure fiat engines when they are 8v's are single cam?

Or does he mean 2x cams of 8 = 16?

The original Fiat "Twink" engine used in the early 1960s was a twin cam 8v. The 16v version didn't appear until the mid 1980s.

My 1987 Croma Turbo ie was the 8 valve version. Had it for 18 years.

I thought the Croma had an advanced variation of the Lancia Beta 8V twin cam' engine and later shared parts with the Thema.

It was the same twin cam 8v used in a number of Fiat group cars up till the demise of the Tempra 2.0, cars like the Lancia Delta/Dedra/Thema & Coupe had it with 16 valves though.

As has been said, cars like this wont pass the new SVA rules, so its basically scrap, which is probably why he`s selling it.
