SUMMARY
In exceptional condition, with warranted low mileage and one of only 390 UK-supplied 16v cars, this is a simply fabulous Integrale.
DESCRIPTION
With their walkover success in the 1988 World Rally Championship, Lancia were very aware that the competition was going to be hot on their heels for the 1989 season and upgrades were required in order to stay ahead of the game. Using the racing logic of the period, it was swiftly decided that more power was the solution and the 16v Integrale quickly took on the field, both literally and figuratively. Launched at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show, the new Integrale’s upgrades and tweaks were alarmingly subtle for such a flamboyant marque. Despite sticking with the 2-litre engine displacement, a raised bonnet centre was required to house the taller 16-valve variant and further visible external changes included wider wheels/tyres and new identity badges on the front and rear. Invisible changes included altering the torque-split to 47/53 front/rear to improve the cars handling balance.
The fabulous 2-litre turbocharged Lancia engine was already a powerful, honed performer before it was developed further for the Integrale 16v. Changes included larger fuel-injectors, a more responsive Garrett T3 turbo, a highly efficient intercooler system which enabled the engine to run at high outputs for longer than the 8v without compromising reliability and a more effective fuel feed at high engine speeds. These changes enabled the 16v to generate over 200bhp at 5,500rpm and when combined with a new over-boost system which increased torque to 220lb/ft at 3,000rpm, 0-60mph now took just 5.5 seconds and the little Lancia could nudge 140mph. All these improvements made the road-going version of the Integrale 16v a spirited, engaging, reliable and inherently safe car.
This superb left-hand drive Delta HF Integrale 16v is finished in a vibrant Rosso Monza with a Grey Harlem interior. The whole car presents exceptionally well from the paintwork to the engine bay and from the underside to the interior, as one might expect with such a low mileage of just 37,900. Interestingly and rarely seen, the car was supplied and delivered new to the UK by H.R. Owen in 1989 as one of a believed 390 16v Integrales supplied to the UK. The vast majority of Integrales you see on the roads have been imported. It's supplied with the owner’s handbook, a copy of its original invoice, various items of documentation and booklets for servicing and maintenance as well as a selection of MOTs and invoices. Forming part of a well-curated Collection with our marque enthusiast vendor, the car runs and drives beautifully.
These previously underappreciated four-wheel drive 'pocket rockets' are massively engaging and allow you to live out your fantasies of being a rally driver at a mere fraction of the price of an Evolution I or II. There’s good reason the 16v is gaining real traction in the market as a usable future classic and with this mileage, it’s a case of ‘find another for the money’.
