AI Listing Summary
This sold 1978 Lancia Beta Montecarlo, a rare Italian sports car with a distinctive design and 2.0L engine, fetched £13,250. It presents well for its age with a recent history of maintenance, though minor cosmetic flaws like paint chips and a spoiler crack are noted, requiring some reconditioning.
Condition
7
The car is described as a tidy-looking example ready to drive away, with the paint showing well and consistent coverage. However, there are minor marks on the rear offside wheel, a crack on the rear spoiler bracket and OSF nose capping, and minor paint chips to the bonnet and underside of the front bumper. There's also a sign of paint blistering on the offside front near the windscreen edge. The interior shows minimal wear, and the mechanics appear well-maintained with no reported issues during a test drive. One of the center console gauges is not working, and the front luggage release handle needs attention. Overall, it's in very good condition with some minor cosmetic imperfections requiring minor reconditioning.

In 1974, the Lancia Beta Montecarlo made its debut at the 45th Geneva International Motor Show.
Featuring a mid-engine configuration and rear-wheel drive, the Lancia Beta Montecarlo differed significantly from the front-wheel-drive Betas with a front-engine layout.
