Lancia Beta Spyder 2000

Offered for sale is a 1977 Lancia Beta Spyder 2000 - a stylish and increasingly collectible Italian grand tourer, combining elegant Pininfarina design with coachbuilt Zagato craftsmanship and powered by Aurelio Lampredi’s renowned twin-cam engine. This example presents as a solid, highly usable classic that has benefitted from a comprehensive bare-metal restoration in the past. The process was extensively documented, with a dedicated booklet and DVD covering the rebuild from strip-down through to welding, repainting, and reassembly. It is accompanied by a substantial history file, including invoices and receipts totalling many thousands of pounds, demonstrating long-term enthusiast care. The body is straight and rust-free following restoration, and the car still presents very well today. The paintwork retains strong visual appeal, with only minor imperfections such as light orange peel visible on close inspection - consistent with an older restoration but not detracting from its overall presence. Inside, the cabin is tidy and largely original, with attractive period character throughout. Minor age-related wear includes slight carpet fraying and a few small trim imperfections. The car is fitted with the rare factory option of electric windows, which work as intended. Mechanically, the car delivers exactly the kind of engaging driving experience expected from a 1970s Italian twin-cam. The 2.0-litre Lampredi engine starts, runs, and drives well, pulling strongly and making the car feel lively and enjoyable on the road. Points to note: Reverse gear can occasionally be difficult to engage Can require some patience when starting from cold Some dashboard gauges are currently inoperative Minor cosmetic imperfections to paintwork Small areas of interior wear These are all minor and typical characteristics of a classic of this age, and do not detract from the car’s overall usability. During current ownership, the vehicle has remained garage-kept and has benefitted from ongoing cosmetic and interior refresh work to preserve its presentation and usability. Overall, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a rust-free, restored Beta Spyder with extensive documentation - a characterful and increasingly desirable Italian classic that can be enjoyed immediately. With values of classic Italian cars continuing to rise, well-sorted examples such as this are becoming harder to find.
