The crew at Canepa in Scotts Valley, California brought this early '80s icon with an impressive racing pedigree back to life.

The Lancia LC2 is a racing icon that left its mark on the track during the 1980s.

Its impressive racing pedigree includes two appearances at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, culminating in a commendable 6th overall finish in 1985.

The LC2 also tasted victory at the 1983 1000 Kilometres of Imola and secured podium finishes at Mugello and Kyalami.

This process brought the racing legend back to its former glory, making it a true collectible.

As one of only seven factory-built LC2 chassis ever produced, this car boasts the more attractive 1985 body configuration. It’s a testament to Lancia’s racing heritage and innovation. Accompanied by a Lancia Certificate of Origin, detailed restoration binders, and assorted spares, this LC2 is a piece of racing history waiting for its next adventure.
