SUMMARY
A splendid example of the Lancia Beta Spyder in fine fettle and offered at an attractive guide.
DESCRIPTION
- Utilising the Beta Coupé's shorter wheelbase and featuring a Targa-top roof panel, a roll-over bar and a folding rear roof, the Pininfarina-designed Beta Spyder was in fact exclusively hand-built by Zagato
- The later cars were powered bay a 1,995cc transverse four-cylinder feeding 115bhp through a 5-speed manual gearbox to the front wheels
- This 2-litre, UK, right-hand example has been most recently owned by one keeper from 1994 to 2014 and then almost six years by its next, before we understand the most recent keeper acquired it in 2021
- The car has recently been restored, although there is no documentation confirming this, but it now presents beautifully in Ferrari Rosso YD91
- It's supplied with recent bills for the supply of various parts including a new clutch, a handwritten note showing that the binnacle was replaced at a reading of 80,788, an older MOT dated 2014 @ 80,158 miles and some new keys
- The original binnacle will come with the car and the new one now shows 366, leading us to believe that the mileage now is approximately 81,154
