1982 Lancia Montecarlo Transmission: manualMileage:52225The Lancia Beta Montecarlo is a mid-engined sports car which was produced from 1975 through to 1982. Cars from 1975 to 1978 were known as a Lancia Beta Montecarlo and the latter cars produced from 1979 to 1982, were simply known as Lancia Montecarlo. Both series were offered in coupé and spider versions and were constructed by Pininfarina. The total production amounted to 3,835 first series Beta Montecarlo's and 1,940 second series, of which only 172 cars were right hand drive coupés.This particular example presents in fantastic, largely original condition. The vendor had the aim to sympathetically refresh the car, retaining as much of the original paint as possible. The car had some repairs to the sills and outer door skins earlier in its life but on the whole, our vendor was so impressed with the condition of the car when he saw it, he decided to buy it. The interior also presents in fantastic condition, showing it has clearly been in the hands of enthusiasts for its whole 41 years and 52,000 miles.Our vendor has spent a reasonable amount of money on the car whilst in his ownership, the largest invoice coming from Freelance Motors in Devon in 2018. The work carried out came to a total cost of £1,945.48, for work consisting of a Guy Croft racing exhaust, which gives a lovely tone without being too shouty. Other work included a wheel alignment, big end shells, sump replacement, front and rear springs, suspension poly-bushing, front shock absorber, a thorough service and various gaskets and mountings. The car has also been cared for by Darren Cooksey, who is hugely knowledgeable on Lancia Montecarlo's. He did a timing belt change, fuel pump change and recent carburettor rebuild, along with various other small jobs. This Montecarlo is an excellent example, which our vendor has enjoyed using regularly in the summer months and sometimes even uses it to commute to work. He reports the car is always a joy to drive.

A large table bullseye A large black microscope stage In a glazed tabletop display cabinet and with the original French Polished mahogany cabinet The Watson-Van Heurck microscope is named after its two inventors, William Watson and Jean-Baptiste van Heurck the Belgian Diatomist. It was developed in the late 19th century and was considered to be one of the most advanced microscopes of its time. William Watson was a British microscope maker who began working on the design of a high-quality microscope in the 1870s. He was motivated by a desire to improve the quality of microscopes used for scientific research and medical diagnosis. He worked on several designs before settling on the final one in collaboration with Jean-Baptiste van Heurck. The Watson-Heurck microscope was designed to improve upon the limitations of existing microscopes. The optics had a good range of magnification and resolution, allowing for more detailed observations of specimens. It also had a more stable base, reducing vibrations and improving the clarity of the image. One of the key features of the Watson-Heurck microscope was its use of a sub-stage condenser. This allowed for more even lighting of the specimen and reduced the distortion caused by uneven illumination. The Watson-Heurck microscope was widely used in scientific research and medical diagnosis throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was particularly popular for studying diatoms, single-celled organisms with intricate, glass-like shells that are difficult to observe with standard microscopes. The Van Heurck microscope was available in various models, but this, the 'Exhibition' stand, was the most expensive and was sold only as a special order microscope. Due to the cost of this microscope when new very few are found today. Overall, the Watson-Heurck microscope was a significant advancement in the field of microscopy and played an important role in scientific research and medical diagnosis during its time.
