Highlights

Purchased already restored in 2020
Sourced from a private collection
Retains original interior throughout
Upgraded twin-choke carburettor fitted
Could provide an ideal base for an 037 conversion

The Appeal

The mid-engined Lancia Beta Montecarlo has long been admired for its sharp handling and distinctive Pininfarina styling. With its racing pedigree and relatively lightweight construction, it offers an engaging driving experience that remains highly regarded among enthusiasts today.

This particular example was purchased already restored in 2020, having been sourced from a private collection that was sold as a whole. The car retains its original interior throughout, though the restoration of this area was not completed, and some wear is evident. Mechanically, the car benefits from an upgraded twin-choke carburettor in place of the standard single-choke unit. Whilst the car is running, it will require servicing before being put into regular use.

The vendor notes that it could provide an ideal base for an 037 conversion project.
