Lancia Montes are one of the prettiest cars ever. Why would anyone think it would look better with a big nose.

Lancia Beta Montecarlo restoration project

I'd be bidding on that if I didn't already have a project on the go. It would have become the basis of an 037 replica.

Tis a shocker indeed!!
It's been doing the rounds on the Monte forum and FB for a few days now.
Actually looks like it has some decent bits on it, DCNFs, 4 branch etc etc

I'm not usually lost for words
But I have nothing further to add

The original bits probably rusted away so quickly the owner forgot what it looked like

shame, as they are cool cars

As did 99% of other cars back in the 70s
Don't mention the R word in front of a Lancia owner

Nick, your right, shame so many good cars faded away

at least you seem to of managed to keep one, for a while

I think I'm stuck with mine TBH. Too many good experiences and memories to ever get rid. It's part of the family
