The Lancia Delta was born out of the ban on Group B rally cars. The Lancia won 10 victories out of 11 rallies and the World Rally Championship (WRC) title in 1988. The '8 valve' Delta had won, ahead of every rival in every continent, demonstrating its unrivalled performance, reliability and durability. But Lancia did not let this lull them into complacency. The 16 valve HF Integrale was being developed and was to run alongside its stablemate during the 1989 season. Lancia ultimately won six consecutive WRCs with the Integrale making it the most successful rally car of all time. The new car was identifiable from its predecessor by the raised centre of the bonnet created to accommodate the new 16v engine. The other exterior changes were wider arches, wheels, tyres and new identity badges at the front and rear. Further development of the 16v engine included a Garrett T3 Turbocharger, larger injectors and a highly efficient intercooler. A new over-boost provided 200bhp and 137mph performance with a 0-62mph time of 5.5 seconds. Brisk, even by today’s standards the road going Integrale is spirited, reliable and a hoot to drive, rewarding a pilot with superb feedback and outstanding rally bred handling power.

This late 16v model was delivered new in Japan in March of 1991. A well cared car it was imported here in 2016 being registered on 2 November of that year. Presented in excellent condition with the far from common leather interior (Exclusive Pack) and rear mounted spoiler, aerial and wiper. The car is currently owned by an enthusiast, its sole local keeper. It is reported to run and drive very well, embarrassing most sports cars a fraction of its age. It has been regularly serviced with recorded mileage a very low 40,700 kilometres. A full and unused tool kit accompanies the vehicle. Paint is rich and lustrous. A cluster of unmounted rally lights is also included. Relive past rally glories in one of the best to ever compete!
