1978 Lancia Beta Monte Carlo - a photo on Flickriver

1978 Lancia Beta Monte Carlo

            This was my spot of the year for 2015, yet I could never seem to find the right moment to upload it!

I've actually been aware of this car for quite some time, but the fact that it was usually stored under tarpaulin put paid to any opportunity for photographing it.

I got talking to the owner's wife – who very kindly moved the wheelie bin out of the way, so I could get a nice shot of the car! – and she informed me that this was his very first car, which he bought when he was just 17 (you can see his name printed on the reg plate).

This has been laid up for the best part of 20 years (its tax lapsed at the end of January '96), and unsurprisingly the car has attracted tons of enquiries from enthusiasts.

However, the owner has no intention of selling it, as he intends to restore this gem to its former glory.

Registered in Exeter on the 6th February 1978, it has gone through 11 owners.
