Lancia Beta Scorpion / Montecarlo 1977 Modificata

Lancia was founded in 1906 in Turin (Italy) by Vincenzo Lancia, ex-racecar driver for FIAT. The first noteworthy Lancia (Lambda, 1922) introduced unitbody construction, independent front suspension and a V4 engine. Followed several landmark designs (Aprilia, 1937 – Aurelia, 1950 – Aurelia B24, 1954 – Fulvia, 1965 – Stratos, 1973), allowing Lancia to be selected six times for the Car of the Century contest, more than any other car manufacturer. The Lancia Scorpion (Montecarlo in Europe) is based on the Abarth 030 prototype which was meant to replace the Fiat X/19. Lancia Abarth 037, winner of the 1983 World Rally Championship, is based on the Lancia Montecarlo. This car (serial 1759) is a Series II Scorpion, with upgraded 2 L European specification engine (155 hp), lowered and adjustable suspension, larger brakes and wheels and an exclusive longer ratio 5th gear allowing relaxed highway cruising. Complete factory air conditionning system available with car.
