Description

1979 Lancia Beta HPE 1600 - Only 55,000 km - Matching Numbers & Rust-Free

DESCRIPTION:

For sale is a beautiful and highly preserved 1979 Lancia Beta HPE 1600 (Shooting Brake). The car is a Matching Numbers example (original engine and chassis), equipped with the legendary 1592cc Lampredi twin-cam engine (100 HP) and 5-speed manual gearbox.

This vehicle is a true "preserved" example. It has an incredibly low and original mileage of ONLY 55,000 KM. It has spent its entire life in the warm, dry climate of Southern Italy (Sicily), used exclusively for short summer outings and always kept in a private garage. Thanks to this care, the chassis and bodywork are extremely solid and COMPLETELY RUST-FREE, an exceptional and extremely rare condition for the Lancia Beta model.

The car is delivered complete with the original spare keys and all its period owner's and maintenance manuals.

KEY POINTS:

Originality: Matching Numbers example. Original spare keys and manuals included.
Condition: Beautifully preserved bodywork and interior. The original metallic light blue paint shines superbly.
Details: All the original chrome and exterior trim are intact and present.
Interior: Very clean, authentic, and well preserved.
Plates: Fitted with the desirable vintage black Italian license plates (issued during re-registration in 1984).
Mechanics: The car has remained parked in a garage in recent times and requires a light mechanical recommissioning (full service, fluid and fuel system checks) before being put on the road.
Location: Italy (Rome area). Shipping throughout Europe can easily be arranged at the buyer's expense via car transporter.

An untouched, low-mileage time capsule, perfect for discerning collectors seeking a rust-free Italian icon to put back on the road.
