The presented Beta 2000 Spider Zagato Special is a 1981 model based on the 4th series Beta Spider and fitted with fuel injection. The Spider Zagato special models all feature black bodywork with a double horizontal gold stripe running around the perimeter of the car. Other features are the reinforced US bumpers, alloy wheels, black leather/ vinyl interior, and desirable US options like air-conditioning and power windows being standard equipment. This magnificent example was sold new in Columbus Ohio to Mr. Don Bowman. In 2023 the automobile was imported to the Netherlands where this super original example was given extensive TLC including the renewal of the timing belt, tensioner pulley, water pump and driveshaft rubbers. Currently the odometer reads 48. 248 Miles. This car is in an excellent condition! The bodywork and paintwork are wonderful as are the exterior trim parts. The interior looks near pristine bar a split seam in the face of the passenger seat back rest and a small crack in the dash top near the windscreen. This beauty drives and handles perfectly and the ‘targa’ open top driving experience is great! Between July 1979 and 1982 less than a thousand series 3 (fitted with carburettor) and series 4 Beta Spider Zagato models were built, exact figures are unknown. The final model with fuel injection, as presented here, being the rarest version. This is a unique opportunity to buy a Lancia Beta 2000 Spider Zagato Special in super original an excellent condition! A wonderful gem for the enthusiast and a (Lancia) collectors dream!
