International Lancia Forums

I've been told by Lancia that my Thema is a special edition but they don't know which since the plate is a bit worn. Does anyone know what the special editions were? I do know mine was one of the first s2 turbo versions, it's a Blue Met. Jan. 1989 turbo 16V some of the differences found from the normal Thema are:
-a silver plate with a Lancia symbol and it has written; Thema 16V Turbo "edizio, then there's a number 12 engraved underneath (the plate was found in the glovebox so i'm not sure where it's originally located)

-interior trim and gauges differ from the Themas i see around here, it has full leather interior
-it has the automatic suspension (i've been told it wasn't available on the early s2 model)
-diferent bumper mounts (i bought a new s2 bumper since the car came with a hormann kit and they said the mounts are in the wrong places, there are no indications it's been modified)

I've been able to acquire the first owner's info but haven't been able to contact him yet, this would remove all doubts. I'm the third owner for the car, the second owner barelly used it since some of the info on the car provided by him does not match what i find.

Thanks for any help

If it 's a special edition i guess i can live with it but i sincerely HATE that front bumper ; (

Apreciate any help thanks

Some other things i forgot ot add, the car does have a cat, presilencer and backbox (the presilencer is a weird shape), the rims are Canonica. The body kit does not seem to be a hormann kit since they said they all place the brand on the inside of their kits but this one does not have anything, it does say lancia thema on the rear right corner (engraved type of writing)

I'm starting to think the plate was removed from another car and placed there for bragging rights.

yes it is an ugly & hybrid body kit of hormann
