Description

We are proud to present this stunning and fully original 1978 Lancia Beta Coupé 1300, a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This is the Series III version, recognizable by its double-creased bonnet, black grille with five slim chrome bars, four round headlamps in black bezels, and refined, light-toned interior. Designed by the legendary Piero Castagnero (also responsible for the iconic Lancia Fulvia), this model is still fondly referred to as "the last true Lancia" by marque aficionados.

History & Condition

  • Single family ownership: acquired in 2017 from the original owner’s father


  • Garage kept: always stored indoors under a protective cover


  • Highly preserved: never restored, all original parts


  • Not driven since 1993: last inspection carried out before being deregistered and stored

Condition Notes

  • Tyres: Visually in fair condition, but aged – replacement recommended


  • Inspection: Required prior to road use


  • Interior: Minor wear consistent with age – light patina on seats, no rips


  • Exterior: Original paint and trim – see photos


  • Registration: Plates not present – re-registration necessary

Why This Car Stands Out

  • True originality: untouched and unmodified


  • Timeless styling: beautiful colour combination (brown/mustard)


  • Solid mechanicals: simple and reliable


  • Rare survivor: especially in this condition and configuration
