"1985 Lancia Thema Boneshi Coupe Registration Number:
HX-DR-05 Chassis Number: ZLA 83400000015897 Engine Number: 000399 Cylinders/Capacity: V6/2849cc Coachwork: Prototype Saloon by Boneschi E3000-5000 For many decades Italy's motor industry has harboured hundreds of small tuning and coachbuilding firms, whose main work consists of modifying the products of the larger car makers, such as Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo. Mundane products which are mass-produced in vast numbers to supply the demand for utilitarian transport have for years been transformed into show stopping sports cars and elegant tourers. By the early 1980s the cost of launching an all new car was prohibitive, running into hundreds of millions of dollars, which led to the Type 4 project - a collaboration between Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo and Saab, whereby development costs were shared by each of the manufacturers, who all introduced their own executive saloon based on similar technology. Lancia's car was the Thema, a four door saloon with a range of engines and equipment levels, which found a willing market place at home in Italy, though overseas sales were not so strong. In 1986 a two door coupe version of the Thema was exhibited on the Carrozzeria Boneschi stand at the Turin Salon, upholding the long tradition of the elaborazione. Boneschi is probably most famous for its designs on such 1960s gran turisimi as Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Fiat, and the new Thema from Lancia provided an ideal basis for the coachbuilder to display its talent, not just for design work, since the silhouette and general styling is largely similar to the original, but also for manufacturing ability. The design study displayed by Boneschi was a fully-functioning prototype which remained a one-off, and was fully equipped with such refinements as air conditioning, electric sunroof and plush leather upholstery, and was powered 29 .9 litre V6 engine with manual transmission. The engine has had recent work done including new camshafts, tin-dog chains etc. Used by Paola Pezzaglia, chairman of Boneschi, who recalls that he used the car regularly while discussions were taking place about production of the two door Thema. he apparently talked at length with Mr Agnelli, chairman of Fiat while sheltering in the car from a thunderstorm in Spain. The car never went into production. Included with the car is a copy of 'Le Lancia' by Wim Oude Weermink and a file of papers all relating to this unique motor car."

Gaaf ding.
Mooie proporties. Eigenlijk zou iemand alle Boneschi prullaria moeten opslaan en hem helemaal gaan aankleden als 3.0 LX, wát een mooie Granturismo heb je dan
