Doppia firma… Lancia Beta Spider Zagato 1600 Far from being inspired by the world of roadsters, the Spider actually represented a sought-after four-seater with a Targa body and canvas soft top behind the roll-bar, front, dashboard and interior (excluding rear seats) came from the Coupé, as did the 1.6 100 hp engines. Over the years there was no lack of some evolutions, concentrated in detail elements such as graphics of the instrumentation, coatings, lights and bumpers, gradually conformed to the passion of the period for black plastics. But the greatest peculiarity of this outsider discovery, stable until it came off the list in 1982, remains the curious production process. Although the design was signed by Pininfarina, the assembly took place at the Zagato factories in Terrazzano in Rho (Milano), naturally on the basis of the bodies of the Coupé arrived from Chivasso (Torino) At the end of the transformation, the cars were sent back to Piemonte to receive the engine and quality control. All this comings and going was incited on the price, a quarter higher than the derivation version, and on a production squeezed in just 8600 copies. The very idea that two of the biggest names in bodywork jobs have worked on the topless shapes of this Lancia, however, is now a guarantee of absolute attractiveness. This Beta Spider are a non-restored, conservate (quasi-neglected) and daily drive specimen. @lancia_italia @zagato1919 #lanciabetacoupe @lanciabetacoupezagato #thecarpix @lancia_official @lanciabetacoupe
