The Lancia Beta range consisted of a four- door saloon. br/>three-door sports estate (HPE). the mid-engine Monte Carlo Coupé
and the 2+2 Spider. the latter styled by Pininfarina but built by
Zagato. Only 9. 90 Spiders were built before production ended in
1984 and just 13 of the righthand drive. two litre models are still
registered in the UK. The chassis. suspension and interior were
very definitely the work of the Lancia engineers and possess all
the qualities one would expect from this revered marque. The
independent rear suspension was particularly ingenious and widely
copied by other manufacturers as FIAT neglected to patent the
design. To call these Beta Spiders rare is an understatement yet
spare parts are easy to come by and they are huge fun to drive with
superb handling and a decent turn of speed.

First registered in June 1980. this two litre spider has had
just three owners from new. the last purchased it in 2006. The
original handbook and service book show it was first supplied by
Lambs (Continental) Ltd from their Hornchurch dealership to a Mr.
Platford from Great Warley. Essex. The service book has four
service stamps up to June 1986 by which time the car had done
31. 20 miles. the current mileage is just over 47. 00 miles which
the vendor believes to be genuine however there is insufficient
evidence to warrant the mileage. About six years ago the car was
professionally restored including a full re-spray in silver and the
fitment of new headlights. a new hood. new clutch. new cam belt and
four new tyres. Dry stored for the last four years. it was
re-commissioned earlier this year getting a new MoT test
certificate which expires in May 2015. The black interior appears
to be original and is in good condition for its age and still has a
period Radiomobile stereo fitted. All the original Lancia tools are
in the boot including the correct long plug socket. This cherished
three-owner example is supplied with a V5C registration document. br/>MoT certificate and workshop manual. The Lancia Beta Spider could
well prove a shrewd investment as this model becomes rarer and
rarer.
