1978 Lancia Gamma Spider by Pininfarina

The Lancia Gamma Spider was a concept car built by Pininfarina in 1978. It was one of 4 cars built on the Lancia Gamma chassis and bodied by Pininfarina. The Gamma Spider was similar to the Beta Spider, with a removable roof panel and rear window, leaving a roll-bar over the rear seats. The Spider was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1978 but not put into production. Possibly its greatest claim to fame was the use of the car by Pope John Paul II when he toured North Italy in the early 1980s. At least one Coupe has since been modified to the same configuration, though not by Pininfarina.

All four Lancia Gamma-based concepts by Pininfarina:
