From the mid-1960s until the early 1990s, Lancia was a major force in international rallying, winning the World Rally Championship for Makes no fewer than 11 times between 1972 and 1992. During the same period, Lancia drivers won the European Rally Championship on 14 occasions and the World Drivers' Championship (only instigated in 1978) four times. After experimenting with a system combining both a conventional (Volumex) supercharger and a turbocharger on their 'homologation special' Delta S4 rally car, Lancia opted for turbocharging alone for the less exotic Delta HF. Already a fine-handling car courtesy of its tuned suspension, the HF moved up a class with the introduction of a state-of-the-art four-wheel-drive transmission incorporating Ferguson viscous couplings and a Torsen differential. This gives you the background of the car’s DNA, and if you know what this is, you will know, and if you don’t, you need to find out. The Lancia is one of those cars that changed the world and the likes of which will never be seen again.

Badged as the Delta HF 4WD on its introduction in 1986, the model retained the Volumex blower initially before switching to a straightforward turbo when transformed into the Integrale for 1987. The latter would prove a supremely capable rally car, winning the World Championship in both 1987 and 1988, yet in road trim remained a thoroughly practical family hatchback. A stylish Italian car that ticked all boxes, looks very squat and pretty, and handles like it should - a proper car for proper drivers.

We are delighted to bring to market this stunning Lancia. You don’t get to see many Integrales, especially one like this. It is almost as good as it gets in every way - factory sunroof, beautiful interior, great paintwork and a very rare colour to boot. This really needs to be seen to be appreciated, and you may never see another one like this in this price bracket. The Lancia is believed to be in standard trim as it left the factory but please do your checks to confirm.

This Integrale spent the first five years of its life in Germany before coming to the UK in 1996. It was registered in the UK on 20/12/1996 but originally built in 1988. 'The Smallest Cog', Richard Hammond’s company, took on the restoration and did a remarkable job with it in every way. There are bills and receipts that go into many tens of thousands, which you can see in the condition and attention to detail. Interestingly there is a letter from the owner at the time that goes a little bit more into detail, and states that the accompanying bills are only the tip of the iceberg and a lot more man hours and parts went into it than was ever filmed. This you can believe when you see it and read through the paperwork.

This Lancia has had many articles written about it, both online and in print, showing the works carried out for the TV show and beyond. This is quite a famous example, but all that aside, it is a stunning example of the legend that is the Lancia Delta Integrale. We highly recommend viewing first hand, even if you don’t want to buy it.
