The Attractions
Designed by Pininfarina, built by Zagato, equipped with the legendary twin-shaft engine by Aurelio Lampredi and weighing just one tonne, the Lancia Beta Spyder was a very special sports car. Today it is extremely rare, even compared to other Lancias of the same era, so a good example represents an opportunity not to be missed.
This 1977 Beta Spyder has undergone a thorough and painstaking restoration that has left nothing out, paying attention to both the exterior and the interior and mechanics. With restored bodywork and interior and carefully tuned mechanics, including a new clutch and exhaust, and a completely overhauled braking system, this Lancia looks fantastic and we are told it drives very well indeed.
A Zagato Car Club member, this Beta Spyder would make a fantastic addition to any collection.
