1996 Lancia Delta II HPE 2.0-litre HF Turbo (Tipo 836)

Highlights

  • Just two former registered keepers
  • Cylinder head rebuild, new shocks and springs and a cam belt change and service all carried out over the past year
  • Last MOT passed with no advisories (expired)
  • An original and rare survivor
  • Same 2.0-litre 16v turbocharged engine as its HF predecessor

The Appeal

Penned by Ercole Spada - the man behind some of Lancia’s most striking designs - the second generation Delta is all too often overlooked. Sure, its Giugiaro-designed forebears were darlings of the rally scene, but when you consider the Delta II could be ordered with that same 16v turbocharged engine while in two-door coupé form, it becomes a mightily tempting proposition. 
Today, surviving examples are vanishingly rare, so when a good one comes along, you simply can’t afford to let it pass you by. This 1996 Delta II HPE Turbo is just that - a very good survivor. Commendably original throughout and in the perfect specification, it’s sure to be the envy of Lancia fans the world over.
Benefiting from copious recent mechanical work including a comprehensive engine and suspension overhaul, it’s bound to be one of the best examples on the market.
