Launched fifty-two years ago, the Beta – initially a four-door fastback with a rather anonymous design – has spread widely in the Lancia catalogue, whose diversity at the end of the 1970s should make the managers of the current brand situation pale…Presented in spring 1975, the Beta HPE (acronym meaning High Performance Estate, i. e. a high-performance station wagon) filled the gap in the range as a back-door saloon and occupied an unusual place within Lancia’s line-up, which at the time did not include proper station wagons.Even the modest base 1600 model, lively and sprightly, already offers genuine driving pleasure: its 100 HP are plenty to move a car that is much lighter and more compact than one might think at first glance.In Gazoline magazine, journalist Marco Visani recounts, a few years ago, a remark from a BMW executive to a Lancia colleague about the Beta HPE: "You’ve launched a masterpiece, but you haven’t understood it and it will die in your hands." Couldn’t have been said better...The car we are offering for sale is beautiful, sound, perfectly functioning and reliable. And original—the bodywork is excellent, with no accident or ugly repairs. The paint is of excellent quality, highly polished. The interior is very well maintained, no broken plastic, cracked dashboard or ripped fabrics.Mechanically, the car starts at a quarter turn of the key, the gearbox is smooth, everything works as it should. This car is not rare because it is a Lancia Beta HPE. It is rare for its configuration, its options, its condition and the fact that it has NOT been restored but has always been VERY well maintained. In this case we are talking about an EXCELLENT preserved example. The numbers speak for themselves—it's a UNIQUE vehicle. Rarity has always been a value driver!We look forward to welcoming you to the garage to show you around and let you take it for a spin!-------------------------------------------------- --------------------Appointment appreciated.We speak French and we’ll be happy to respond to you!We speak English and we’re available for any information.
