1990 LANCIA DELTA INTEGRALE 16V

KEY FACTS

• A well-maintained example of the desirable HF Integrale 16V, with an impressive service history and a re-trimmed leather interior.

• Under the bonnet sits the 197bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged 16-valve inline-four, which drives all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

• First registered in 1990, this German-market Integrale was imported into the UK in October 1997, and was acquired by the seller three years ago.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• While it is largely unmodified, the car has been subtly enhanced with the addition of the adjustable roof spoiler and Speedline alloy wheels from the ‘Evoluzione’ model. The dials have also been changed at some point, and there are Momo pedals fitted.

• The seats have also been recovered in black leather in place of the original Grey Alcantara, and the original stereo has been replaced with a more modern Pioneer radio/CD player.

• The car will be supplied with a file of paperwork, though there is no book pack. The jack and wheel brace are also missing.

CONDITION

• There is no known bodywork damage.

• Believed to have been partly or fully resprayed in the past, the paintwork presents very well, with a smooth, glossy appearance around the car. However, there are a number of stone chips on the lower front bumper and a touched-in chip on the leading edge of the bonnet, in line with this Delta’s age and use.

• The lock on the fuel flap is missing.

• The rest of the exterior trim is in good shape, with an appropriate light patina.

• All four wheels have kerb scratches on their rims, and would benefit from refurbishment.

• Inside, the cabin is very smart, with some general light wear to the original trim, while the more recent black leather is in superb order. The vendor notes that the door bins are missing.

• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults, and all of the switchgear works as it should.

• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 3 September 2020 at 122,144 km, resulting in a first-time pass without a single warning or advisory. The seller notes that the car will be tested again before it is handed over to its next owner.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Integrale’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in March 2020 at 121,910 km by RGC Motors. This included replacement of the rear suspension bushes, the rear shock absorbers, the top mounts and the track rod ends, as well as an oil, filter and spark plug change.

• It has recently been given a cambelt replacement, and has just had a fresh battery installed.

• Prior to this, RGC Motors performed oil services in September 2019 at 121,750 km and in July 2018 at 120,115 km.

• During the vendor’s ownership, the headlights, fog lights, wheel bearings and front brake discs have also been renewed, along with one of the window regulators and all four tyres.

• A full summary of the maintenance history from new is viewable in the photo gallery below.
