This Lancia Beta got away, but there are more like it here.

1975 Lancia Beta Coupe 5-Speed

Sold for $14,600 on 10/16/23

This 1975 Lancia Beta is a two-door coupe example that was sold new by Grand Prix Imports in Denver, Colorado, and reportedly remained registered to the family of the original owner until it was acquired by the selling dealer in June 2022. Power is provided by a 1.8-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle, and the car is finished in metallic brown over brown leather upholstery. Equipment includes 14″ FPS alloy wheels, independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, a vented hood, a heater, and a Blaupunkt cassette stereo. This Beta is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, a service booklet, a workshop manual, and an Illinois title.

The car was refinished in metallic brown under prior ownership, according to the selling dealer. Exterior details include a bright left-side mirror and window trim as well as a vented hood, a power antenna, quarter window vents, and a locking fuel door.

Silver-finished 14″ FPS wheels are mounted with 195/60 Ohtsu FP0612 A/S tires that have 2015 production date codes. The car is equipped with rack-and-pinion steering, independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes. Curb rash is visible on the wheels.

The front and rear bucket seats are trimmed in brown leather upholstery and are joined by a darker brown dashboard and tan door panel inserts. Appointments include an analog clock and hand-crank windows along with a heater and defroster. The Blaupunkt cassette stereo has recording capability as well as a microphone for audio input that hangs from the center stack. Wear is present on the outer bolster of the driver’s seat, and the dashboard is cracked.

The two-spoke steering wheel fronts Veglia instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and supplementary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 36k miles.

The Lampredi-designed 1.8-liter inline-four features dual overhead camshafts and a single carburetor, and it sends power to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. Work carried out in 2022 reportedly included an engine tune-up and electrical repairs as well as an oil change.

Additional photos of the undercarriage are provided in the image gallery below.

The firewall stamping 828AC1500421 is shown above, and the VIN on the duplicate Illinois title carries an extra “0” in the middle.

Manufacturer’s literature, a service booklet, a workshop manual, a parts catalog, and a magazine will accompany the car.
