Equipment
1995/205hp, 5-speed, Bridgestone Potenza tires, Abarth leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Condition
Showing 3112 km (1934 miles). Tidy engine bay. Small crack in the left front at the bottom and another near the windshield, but mostly good paint. Clean plastic. Very good interior. Lightly used Group B monster, restored by ex-factory Lancia technicians in Turin in 2017 and showed at The Quail the same year.
Market commentary
Other Lancia 037s, both road and rally versions, have sold for more than the reported high bid here, including the car at RM Sotheby's across town that brought $654K. Given other recent sales as a reference and that this is a very good example, it's understandable why the owner would hold out for higher than $475K. Then again, adding a buyer premium to the reported high bid would put the price above Broad Arrow's low estimate, so the offer must have been close.
