1982 Lancia Montecarlo Series II by Pininfarina

The Montecarlo is a seriously under-rated and often-forgotten sportscar by virtue of the fact they are so exceptionally rare. It's really a shame because the more sought-after Series II models , as we have here, are cracking little cars with plenty of kerb appeal.

There were four factory options for the Coupé; a Targa-type roof, leather seats, air conditioning and (strangely), a nearside door mirror. This car has them all making it the "top-of-the-shop' Montecarlo. Styled by Pininfarina and representing the pinnacle of Italian motor manufacturing this might as well be a Ferrari!

Offered in lovely Black paintwork with the correct style nose-cone colouring in contrasting grey, this car further benefits from cream leather interior, and of course, that surprisingly throaty 2.0litre rear-mounted engine. The stock standard wheels and spare, plus carpeted boot area, a clean interior, period dash, dials and new headlights make this car a very appealing Lot.

Taxed to November this year and road-legal with MoT, the UK V5C shows just one owner on the log book and what is believed to be a genuine 60,500 miles on the clock.
