Top Gear appearance

Jeremy Clarkson chose to buy a 1981 Lancia Beta Coupé for £1500, the only Lancia of any sort in Botswana, on a 1000-mile journey for a Top Gear special<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/show/episodes/series10episode4.shtml Top Gear Episode 4 Series 10, 04.11.2007</ref>. The Beta had only done 29,000 miles, but due to poor maintenance and harsh conditions it was in extremely poor shape at the outset, and virtually died several times due to mechanical failures. Remarkably, it survived to the end, proving that cheap 2WD cars can deal with rough conditions successfully. Much of the bodywork was removed to save weight on the salt flats, and Clarkson renamed it the Lancia Beta Coupé Superleggera.
