The Appeal

The 1970s and '80s were an exciting time for Lancia. Despite being very much the underdog from a financial standpoint, the firm was winning a string of motorsport victories with the Fulvia, Stratos and latterly, the 037. Lancia's rally cars from this era are nothing short of iconic, especially those to sport the Martini livery, like those championship-winning 037 from the legendary 1983 WRC.

This Beta Coupé has been transformed into an FIA Group 1 racing car, sporting a period-inspired interpretation of the Martini race livery. It comes complete with an FIA card and homologated technical data sheet. A significant investment has been made by a specialist in classic racing cars, ensuring that this Beta is in fine fettle for competition. Although it has not yet participated in any races, it is roadworthy and ready for the track, offering a unique opportunity for collectors and racers alike.
