Comments from the seller

very rare 2/1975 early Series 1 Lancia Beta coupe 1800cc Australian Compliance & Delivery Well preserved, unmolested & always garaged this Lancia Beta coupe is in exceptional factory original & corrosion-free condition throughout. It looks stunning in Bianco White & is exciting to drive. It features a low km hi-performance 1.8 litre twin-cam motor serviced by Lancia specialists, original headlining, crack-free dash & unmarked timber dash facia, near perfect stainless steel trim throughout, a brand new genuine Lancia Stratos timber gear knob, the original factory black interior, factory tool kit, the factory fitted & correct Series 1 Cromodora driver door mirror & it retains the classic slim-line lightweight stainless steel bumper bars similar to the Rally cars raced by Lancia prior to the Lancia Works Team transitioning from this car to the legendary Ferrari-engine V6 Stratos & is ready for fun outings or HF Rallye enhancement if desired. Lancia reigns & remains supreme & is still to this day, the most successful World Rally Championship winner on the planet. In the 45 seasons the World Rally Championship has been awarded, only 13 different constructors have won it; Lancia being the most successful, with 10 titles including 6 consecutive back-to-wins from 1987 to 1992. And like Ferrari, Lancia now provides official Lancia Classiche Certification for all out-of-reach & now super expensive homologation Rally cars. The Lancia Beta Coupe was introduced in 1973 as the successor to the hugely successful Fulvia model. An attractive car penned by in house designer, Pietro Castagnero, it was first revealed at The Frankfurt Motor Show in Autumn 1973. Whilst the Stratos was the star of Lancia rallying, Lancia learned the sales gains brought by competing with a standard looking model, hence the Beta was homologated into Group 3 and 4 in October 1974. The bodywork received exaggerated flared arches giving the Beta a very purposeful look, two engines were used, the 8 valve 1890cc unit providing 175 bhp for Group 3 use whilst the Group 4 cars featured the Abarth sixteen valve head as used in the Fiat 131 Abarth Works Rally Car. With the Stratos clearly marked out as the hero car, the Beta performed even better in its early days than the Fulvia had. In its first event at home in San Remo, Kenyan Shekhar Mehta took a fine fourth place. In Canada for the Rideau Lakes Rally, Lampinen’s Beta excelled in the mud and snow. It was only team orders from boss Cesare Fiorio that led to the Beta slowing down in order to let the Stratos of Munari overtake and claim victory with Lampinen coming second. The Beta continued to provide a supporting role to the Stratos throughout the 1975 season and undoubtedly helped Lancia to secure the world championship that year. Lancia Beta Coupés finished third on the Swedish Rally and fourth on the Rallye San Remo. Just like the Rally cars, this early 1975 coupe, can be supplied, if desired, with optionally available & highly desirable Hi-Performance extras - which will make for the closest, affordable alternative to experience the driving spirit of the famed WRC Lancia Rally Legends now valued in excess of 200k euro A limited run classic Sports coupe with glorious rally homologation roots-DNA further adding to its already desirable cachet that is becoming near-impossible to find in exceptional original condition.
