Rally Inspiration: 1993 Repsol Lancia Delta Grp.A

This 1988 Lancia Delta Integrale is an original 8V Abarth works car which had its debut outing at the 1988 Tour de Corse in Martini livery. It is now finished in the Repsol colors that it wore in the 1993 Rallye de Catalunya with Carlos Sainz at the help, and it is a veteran of the Goodwood Festival of Speed from 2005-07. Find it available here out of Hampshire, UK for $254,500.



Here is a great video of Carlos Sainz in action thanks to BaT reader RJ in the comments section.



There are few rally cars which can match the aesthetic of this Lancia. This Tarmac set-up with wide OZ wheels and low stance looks fantastic, and is exactly what we would look to replicate with a street legal Delta Integrale. The Martini cilors are the classic on this model, but somehow the Repsol paint works just as well.



The interior is complex and businesslike, with as much emphasis on passenger as driver. The cage is very nicely integrated and doesn’t seem very intrusive for ingress or egress. Factory cloth door panels remain and Sabelt harnesses keep things in place.



The 16V engine was added in 1991 by the second owner. It is fully plumbed with braided stainless lines and remote catch tanks. The wider Deltona evolution flares were added in 1992 to meet Grp.A regulations.



We see many cars sell for over $250k which are not as impressive as this one. This car could challenge a Porsche 959 or Audi Sport Quattro, both costing significantly more. We wouldn’t change a thing on this Lancia.
