Introduced at the 1975 Geneva Salon, the Lancia Beta Montecarlo was designed and built by Pininfarina. A mid-engined sports car with its roots in the Italian Carrozzeria's Abarth 030 and Fiat X1/8 (later X1/20) projects, the newcomer was tenuously linked to the rest of the Lancia Beta range via some shared drivetrain components. Relaunched in 1980 after a brief production hiatus, the Montecarlo Series 2 was visually distinguished by a new grille, door mirrors and wheels etc. While, under the skin it had benefited from improved brakes, more engine torque and some 70kg worth of weight saving. Tipping the scales at just 970kg, the revised two-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 9 seconds and 120mph. Of the 7,595 Montecarlos sold worldwide, just 286 Series 2 cars are thought to have UK supplied.

First registered on August 1^st 1983, 'A919 RGH' displays a credible 40,500 miles and records just 5 former keepers on HPI. Reportedly recommissioned last year by its former keeper, work is said to have included a new cambelt / tensioners, water pump, replacement windscreen and fresh tyres with the carburettors and brake callipers being fettled too. Fitted with a Powerflow custom exhaust and sports air filters, the Lancia is believed to have been treated to a past bodywork restoration and repaint. Offered with history file.
