Sorry RTH, but I marshalled at every Willhire 24 hour (one was 25 hours too) and can never remember a Lancia Beta saloon being entered, let alone one being driven by a team of ladies.
The closest car to a Beta saloon in looks that I can think of would be the liftback Toyota Celica that the Brundle family shared.
