THIS RARE AND HIGHLY DESIRABLE SPECIAL EDITION IS ONE OF JUST 75 PRODUCED!
A little about the
Zagato-Built and Pininfarina-Designed
Fiat Lancia Zagato Beta Spyder:
THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN CALIFORNIA FOR MOST OR ALL OF IT'S LIFE. IT IS VERY PRESENTABLE, PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY A CALIFORNIA PHYSICIAN. IT IS AND WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. NEW BATTERY, NEW TARGA TOP, NEW ALTERNATOR, NEW IGNITION SYSTEM AND MUCH MORE. OVER $2000 PUT INTO THIS VEHICLE IN THE PAST TWO YEARS ALONE. IT WILL HAVE THE TYPICAL SCRATCHES, DINGS, DENTS, SCUFFS, AND PAINT FADE THAT ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM A ITALIAN SPORTS CAR, CIRCA 1981. THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR ARE BETTER THAN MOST OF THE LANCIAS OF THIS AGE, AS IS THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. LOTS OF COMFORTS IN THIS ITALIAN SPORTS CAR INCLUDING: A 2 + 2 SEATING SET UP; LEATHER SEATING WHICH IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE, THE FOLDING BACK REAR TOP AND TARGA TOP. TOGETHER WITH THE WIND IN YOUR HAIR DRIVING THIS RARE ITALIAN CLASSIC THAT IS COMMANDING HIGH PRICES WORLDWIDE!
The limited production Zagato was only built for the US market and they only made a limited number of Zagatos that year being a total of just 75 cars.Now, the special edition only came in black with the gold stripes all around car and gold stripes on the wheels. So, likely a respray during its life but I actually like the, "Low Profile" look. Add the gold pinstripes and give it some bling or cool just as it is.SPECIFICATIONS
