This Lancia Beta Coupe is an eye-catching and impressive, track-prepared example of the stylish 1970s Italian coupe, which has been enhanced with a raft of discerning performance and track-focused upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a Guy Croft race-specification 2.0-litre naturally aspirated twin-cam inline-four, now delivering up to 116kW (155bhp) to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This right-hand drive example has been with the seller in Australia for one year. The odometer indicates 83,853 miles, though this is not warranted and the car has reportedly been used as a track car for the last 3,000 miles. This Beta Coupe was originally finished in red, but is now presented in a timeless shade of white with an iconic green and red Alitalia livery, as well as period sponsorship decals and black ‘75’ racing numbers on the doors. Inside, the partially stripped out black cabin now features black cloth-trimmed Sparco Sprint V bucket seats with contrasting stitching, as well as a fabric-trimmed upper dashboard and simplified door cards. It rides on an aftermarket set of 15-inch Rota ‘RB’ alloy wheels finished in gloss gold with polished lips, shod in Toyo Proxes R888 tyres. Externally, this example has been upgraded with aftermarket aerodynamic door mirror housings, quick-release bonnet pins, a HF front grille badge, and a kill switch. Inside, the cabin now features an Alcantara-trimmed dished steering wheel, Monzä six-point harnesses, a six-point FIA-approved OMP roll cage, a kill switch, a Pivot Stepping Gauge rev-counter with shift lights, a large ‘Oil’ warning light, push-button start, the rear seats ‘deleted’, a Davies, Craig Limited EWP & Fan digital controller, a Speco Meter battery voltage gauge, a Racetech fuel pressure gauge, a Carel IR33 temperature controller, Stack water temperature and oil pressure gauges, a Speco Meter oil temperature gauge, an Omex Rev-Limiter Clubman, a passenger footwell-mounted fire extinguisher, and a custom fuel pump switch. The 2.0-litre twin-cam Guy Croft race engine has been rebuilt and upgraded with CP forged pistons, forged rods, a GC-prepared VX head, twin 45 DCOE carburettors, race cams, 4-1 extractors with a 2.25-inch exhaust, a Pipercross air filter, a cold air intake, a steel flywheel, a race-spec clutch, a crank scraper, a baffled sump, an accusump, a remote filter, oil cooler, an alloy radiator, electric water pump, an MSD ignition, and a race battery.
