Andy...i love dedras...owned a 2.0 for four years and it was probably the best all round car I have owned. I have piccies and will post em. Lol. I personally loved the design. Mine was metallic green with tan alcantara the 2.0 twin cam is amoungst the best sounding engines and in my opinion its far superior to the twinspark.

Me too. I always thought the Dedra was a neat car saddled with an awful name.

Agree on the engine. That Lampredi designed twin cam was a tough as old boots and sounded great with it.

They are indeed a tough and sweet engine. My dedra had 150k on the clock and all on its original engine. I so loved that car. I sold my faithfull uber reliable Dedra to a relative after buying my first Alfa 156 V6 [which I totally fell in love with the busso sound and torque]. Within 6 months she wrote the Dedra off. I was so gutted I almost wept when I heard the Lancia was written off.

update: I will be selling my Y10 Turbo should anyone be interested. It will be a running project. By means of Project I mean its perfectly fine mechanically but I have two brand new replacement rear wings as one of the current wings on the Y10 is showing some grot. The car has been garaged for some years now. I aim to get the car up and running and shall post piccies. Only selling as we have set sights on another project and I will not have room for the Y10. Will be sorry in a way to see it go but if he goes to a good home that will help make me happy. Sensible offers will be invited upon inspection.

Happy memories of mine, as posted earlier.
Never looked, but I bet not many Y10's of any model left on the road.

Nick its early days yet but a 2.0 147 track car is in our thoughts and since the Integrale has a garage and the Y10 also is cwtched away in a garage we will need space for our venture when we go ahead hence the Y10 proposed sale. Mike said he shall bring him [the y10] out from garage for assessment and we will go from there. The Y10 was a fantastic daily car for me for many years, I only parked him up because I wanted a bigger car at the time. Luigi has/had wanted for nothing, always being spoilt with tarox discs, bodywork and lots of servicing etc. I have fond fond memories of driving that car and taking him to lancia meets and a show or two!

A very rare car now and he deserves to be kept in fine fettle and taken to shows.

Mike, they are sweet little cars aren't they :) and yep they must be in single figures in UK now, the Y10 turbo anyways!

Andy, thanks, we need to spend some time with him first before he will be ready!

I'm having naughty thoughts of a fuel injection throttle body to replace the (for me at the time) troublesome webber carb.
Then maybe a modified turbo, with more efficient modern intercooler.
Replace the seats for something more supportive maybe.
Stop stop!

One of the best cars I've ever owned was a black Dedra Turbo....

Dave ...my Dad had a Bordeaux Dedra turbo. They are fab cars and yours must have been rare in Black too! We have a good firend Paul who has two dedra turbos, he loves them to bits. :) He also has a Ferrari 328 spyder.
