In the world of hatchbacks, few are more iconic than the Lancia Delta HF Integrale and Stellantis design director Ralph Gilles bids farewell to his charming Evolution I.
Gilles bought this Delta Integrale Bring a Trailer in May 2018 and is auctioning it on the same website. When he picked up the keys, he had about 60,000 miles (96,000 km) on the odometer and now he has about 63,000 miles (101,000 km) on his odometer. belt. Gilles paid $53,000 for the car and it will be attractive to see how much it sells for six years later.
Under Gilles’ ownership, the Italian rally legend’s 2. 0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder was rebuilt with a new timing belt, gaskets, Colombo and Bariana camshafts, ARP mounts, an Eprom Fast Road ECU chip, a Walkers Garage exhaust manifold and a high-flow system. Catalytic converter. The original five-speed manual transmission has been retained, as has the Ferguson viscous-coupled center differential and Torsen limited-slip rear differential.
Watch: Some say. . . who has purchased a Lancia Delta Integrale
It’s possibly not the Delta Integral with the lowest mileage we’ve seen, but it turns out it’s been well maintained over the years and has an impeccable Carfax ratio. It is painted in Rosso Monza and continues with the original 15. Speedline alloy wheels. These rims are wrapped in Kumho Ecsta V720 tires that measure 225/45, but since they were made in 2017, it would probably be worth replacing them soon.
We think the hatchback’s interior has aged gracefully as well. The grey cloth seats appear to be in a sleek position and the car is equipped with a Pioneer mono-din head unit. There’s also a new power indicator and a spare turbo timer.
While it would be tempting to park this iconic Lancia in a garage, we’re crossing our hands that the next owner will drive it like the rally that it is.
