Beautiful Italian from Bratislava

Print

When the Lancia Delta Integrale is mentioned, I think we all immediately think of a blocky Italian hatchback with blown fenders. The Delta is also the first model where the Lancia brand used a 4x4 drive, in April 1982, when they presented the Delta Turbo 4x4 prototype at the Turin Motor Show. However, it was not until four years later that the serial version with a more sophisticated Delta HF 4WD drive was shown to the world.

However, the Delta HF 4WD was not originally intended for rallying. The situation changed in 1986 when, after several fatal accidents, Group B was canceled and Group A took over the main role. However, for homologation, it was necessary to produce 5,000 production cars in 12 months, the Delta HF 4WD became a suitable basis for Group A. This was also confirmed at the beginning of the 1987 season, when Delta won the first two places in the inaugural Monte Carlo Rally. Lancia finished that year with 9 victories in total from 13 races and the world title. The following season, the Delta HF 4WD still managed to win the first two races before being replaced by the improved Delta HF Integrale. All-wheel drive with three differentials and a turbocharged 2-liter became unbeatable for the next six years.

A few pieces of this legendary car can also be found in Slovakia. However, we were recently interested in an offer from Oliver from Záhorská Bystrica for his beautiful red Italian. His Lancia Delta HF Integrale was built in 1989 and he has owned it for 15 years. During his ownership, the Delta underwent a complete renovation and a new paint job, but she's a lady after all. However, the car is in excellent condition not only visually but also mechanically. And on top of that, it suits her very well on the white OZ Racing Superturismo rims. The odometer reports a mileage of 144,738 kilometers.

Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-liter with 8-valve technology. It has a power of 133 kW (180 hp) and a torque of 300 Nm. All-wheel drive also works great. Delta has an original Slovak technical license and a valid technical and emissions inspection until February 2023. The offer also includes a second set of original discs, which are fitted with winter tires. However, Oliver's Delta did not run during the winter. The price of the red Lancia Delta HF Integrale is €39,900.
