Beta Spider
« on: 22 August, 2009, 08:59:46 PM »
Hi all,
I've just bought a fully restored Beta Spider, reg no: SWK285R. I'm getting some restoration photos sent by a former owner, but I have no history. If anyone recognises the car, please let me know. One small problem, I can't find the recommended tyre pressures anywhere. Anyone know what they are? I'm taking it to Silverstone tomorrow to watch my daughter's boyfriend race his Golf. He won both his races at Mallory Park recently, wouldn't mind getting him to Goodwood next year. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Regards
Derek Moore

Hi Derek,
 I've just check the 2000 Register but unfortunately it doesn't show so it wasn't an LMC members car at the time unless of course they didn't record it.
Havi you tried asking Diana Williamson if it's on the current LMC Register?

I always find the handbook recommended tyre pressures to be a bit on the low side (typically 26 psi for a light loading). For the Spider I'd go for 29-30 psi all round.

Thanks for the info guys. I'd guessed at 28 'ish so I'll put a couple more pounds in and see how we go. Great drive to and from Silverstone today, the little beast ran perfectly. Fantastic fun for little money. Viva Lancia!!
