This beautifully restored Lancia Beta 1600 was first registered in August 1982 but it is a model that was built between 1971 and 1981, so it is one of the last copies of this model that were built. It is equipped with the original 1585 cc engine with code 828 AC. 000 and a 5-speed transmission. After spending some time in Switzerland, the car got a Dutch registration in 1996. It was first registered by Automario and from 1998, it then had 90,000 km, in the possession of a gentleman from Soest (the Netherlands). This owner has had the car completely restored by Martin Dijkhof. There is a file with lots of information, photos and a timeline pertaining to the life of the car and all the work that has been done. The then owner had decided to repaint the car in a different colour of blue than the original one. There are still photos present of the car in the original blue colour. This owner has owned the car until 2010, thereafter it had an owner in Rotterdam for 2 years and subsequently an owner in Limburg from 2012 to today. Between 1998 and today, the car has only driven 9000 km and is in a very beautiful condition. It drives and shifts very well. The original instruction booklet with folder is also still present with the car. We recommend that you visit and view the car before you place a bid. The car can be viewed in Valkenburg, the Netherlands.
