Lancia Beta Berlina Felber from Switserland , designed by Michelotti.
One of 7 produced, one is currently for sale by Martin Willems in the Netherlands (€ 23.500)

I don't think Michelotti was involved. The car was modified by Swiss coachbuilder Felber.

Sorry for my change in the earlier post, I was not aware another reply was being prepared. While I was looking for a year I noticed the Felber  car for sale by Willems, the year is 1976


ALS15 is correct,  while I was updating my post, the Felber reply was placed.



Various sources give Michelotti as being involved with the design.

That's the car, yes.
I'm not sure of Michelotti's involvement either as this car doesn't appear on any sites showing his designs.  Perhaps someone is getting confused with the Lancia Mizar, which was his design and which looks quite similar around the front.  I think I'll leave his name out of the heading!
