1978 Lancia Beta Montecarlo - Reduced must go SOLD

This is a 1978 Lancia Beta Montecarlo Spyder with a rare and stunning Lester Group 4 period bodykit and Guy Croft fast road engine.



The car presents very well and the bodywork is in very good condition. It is structurally very good and so is the underneath. The car has been dry stored as a far as I know since being rebuilt in 1989 when the Group 4 kit was added. In my ownership 99% of the use was in the dry but I have been caught out a couple of times in the rain.



The engine has been rebuilt by Guy Croft as a fast road engine, I have a receipt for this which guarantees 130 BHP at the wheels. It is fitted with Weber DCNF 40's and is loud. It also has a Guy Croft Accusump as can be seen in the pictures.



The car is pictured in Guy Crofts book about tuning Fiat Twincam engines, he is the 'Man' when it comes to these engines.



The car is fitted with 15" Revolution RFX wheels which are a great period wheel and look far better than the original 13" wheels. they are shod with Toyo Proxies which haven't done many miles and have loads of life left in them.



The interior is ok but the carpets do look a bit tired in a few places. The seats and steering wheel are not original but are nicer than the originals in my opinion. The seats are leather and the steering wheel is a Momo Prototipo.



Since my ownership much work has been completed

including the carbs being rebuilt but there are still a few small jobs to do on the car but it is ready to drive and use and goes pretty well and sounds great.



The car is MOT'd but now qualifies as an historic vehicle (I have the new log book) so no longer requires to be MOT'd and tax is free.



I have many photographs of the restoration.

I'm selling as I've bought an historic racing car and I can't afford to keep both.
