1981 Lancia Beta Monte Carlo Zagato

Location: Los Angeles, California

Why It's Curated: This 1981 Lancia Beta Monte Carlo Zagato is for sale in Los Angeles, Ca. This Lancia Beta Monte Carlo represents one of the most distinctive collaborations between Italian engineering excellence and coachbuilding artistry. The partnership between Lancia and Zagato produced this mid-engine sports car that combined Lancia's sophisticated 2.0-liter DOHC inline-four with Zagato's distinctive angular bodywork, creating a uniquely Italian interpretation of the affordable sports car concept. What makes this example particularly compelling is its remarkably low 18,000-mile reading, suggesting careful preservation of what was already a rare model when new. The Beta Monte Carlo's mid-engine layout and five-speed manual transmission delivered genuine sports car dynamics that rivaled contemporary Porsche and Alfa Romeo offerings, while the Zagato bodywork provided unmistakable Italian flair that stood apart from more common European sports cars. With Lancia's withdrawal from the U.S. market in 1982, these models represent the final chapter of the marque's American presence, making surviving examples increasingly significant as both driving machines and automotive artifacts from Italy's golden age of accessible performance cars.
