Introduction

Born on the race track, this sleek Lancia brings Italian engineering expertise and delivers an unforgettable driving experience.
The Lancia Beta Montecarlo was intended to serve as a replacement for the Fiat 124 Coupé. However, Fiat opted for the more economical alternative designed by Bertone, leading to the inclusion of the Pininfarina-designed Montecarlo into Lancia’s Beta family.
Paolo Martin from Pininfarina, who was chosen to design the car, gave the Montecarlo a clean and modern shape. The finish to the build gave a sleek and contemporary design, characterised by a squared-off nose and tail, and sporting a distinctive pair of wings at the sides of the rear window leading to the lip of the side-hinged engine cover.
In 1974, the Lancia Beta Montecarlo made its debut at the 45th Geneva International Motor Show. Featuring a mid-engine configuration and rear-wheel drive, the Lancia Beta Montecarlo differed significantly from the front-wheel-drive Betas with a front-engine layout. Kitted out with a premium level of equipment, Lancia chose a 2.0L twin-cam four-cylinder motor from the Fiat 124 Sport Coupé with a five-speed gearbox and disc brakes at both front and rear.
For a car that's been on the road for over ~40 years, it looks like this Lancia has been well looked after, especially over the past ~4 years of ownership. No doubt, this is a rare example with only around ~8,000 of these cars being made, with production spanning from 1974 until 1982.
This Lancia is a tidy-looking example ready to drive away by the new owner.
This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Kim the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
