The Attractions

The legendary four-wheel-drive Integrale was not the only supercharged Lancia Delta to make waves in the early 1990s. The Delta HF, also equipped with a turbocharged engine but with front-wheel drive, was an equally important player in the sector of fast small sports hot hatchbacks.

Its equipment included a Garrett TBO-225 turbocharger with wastegate valve, air-to-air heat exchanger and electronic injection. To handle the considerable increase in power, the twin-shaft engine was upgraded with sodium valves and an enlarged oil cooler. It was also fitted with a five-speed ZF manual gearbox designed for high speeds, and the chassis was tuned for better handling and road holding. The result was an extraordinary car, unfortunately unjustly overshadowed by its famous big sister, the queen of Group B.

This 1992 example is one of the few remaining and stands out for the thorough restoration it has received. The work included dismantling the bodywork, which received a lot of attention and was restored, and a professional repainting in its original red colour. As can be clearly seen in the photo gallery, no detail was overlooked: we cannot but admire the dedication of its owner.

The seller told us:

"The car has always been kept in the garage and is driven regularly, even for long distances. Although not perfect (an 8/10 considering its age), it is in excellent condition and retains the great charm of this model."
