The Appeal
The Lancia Beta is angular, elegant and effortlessly cool to the core. Engaging dynamics, accessible luxury and pure Italian character - it's one of the most elegant expressions of Italian automotive design from the early 1980s. It's a car that demands eyes upon it, moves with purpose and, of course, carried an independent suspension and all-disc brakes, along with the perky little twin-cam under the bonnet.
This Beta Coupé has been carefully stored in a covered garage throughout its life and only occasionally driven for special events. For enthusiasts of the Lancia marque or collectors seeking a golden-age luxury compact, this is bound to prove an impressive classic.
