The Appeal
This 1981 Lancia Beta Spider 2000 forms part of the carefully curated Blaauwbank Collection that includes an eclectic mix of multi-generational cars, a selection of rare and interesting vehicles, carefully stored in purpose-built, climate-controlled dry-storage hangars, located in the arid climate of Central South Africa.
The Lancia Beta Spyder Zagato represents the sophisticated side of Italian sports car manufacturing, embodying Vincenzo Lancia's philosophy of clever packaging and performance.
This example is an especially rare find, featuring a 2.0-litre engine and right-hand-drive configuration that will appeal to collectors seeking an import-worthy example. Even more impressive is its remarkable preservation, having spent its entire life in the dry Mediterranean climate of Stellenbosch, nestled within South Africa’s renowned Cape Winelands.

Coming from a large private collection and having had just one former registered keeper, this Zagato Spyder reportedly presents in unrestored, survivor condition. The stylish Targa top and rear convertible roof configuration has recently come back into fashion, while the car's mechanical condition has been maintained with recent servicing and system overhauls.
