When the Lancia Beta rusting issue first started, I had a friend with one of the coupés. He had heard rumours and went to ask his local Lancia dealer, where he was told: "squirt a bit of WD40 over it - it will be fine". He solved the problem himself by falling asleep early one morning heading down to a yacht race, when he drove straight over a roundabout on the A27 at around 80 MPH. All four wheels were wiped off and it ground most of the way through the floor pan before it came to a stop. As he said: "well at lest most of the rust is ground off now".

That is a pretty sad, yet funny, story! The fellow apparently has a sense of humor and is also very lucky the machine didn't go airborne and land upside down into something real large like a big truck!
