Lets see a picture of your classic(s)

[Thurbs]

Picked this up earlier in the week. It came with lots of free iron oxide...



















It is a 1990 Lancia Delta HF 16v integrale, but an 89 model, so not the slower and softer evo version.

The plan is to turn it in to a group A spec car and do some circuit racing next year, targeting around 450 horses.

I am going to do a build thread in the Lancia forum but haven't got around to it yet.

That's the 'lightening weight' version with specially developed metal that gradually thins through the cars life; actually not that rare as nearly every damned Italian car of that era does it. Good luck with the resoration

My car is featured in Custom Car this month, the black 57

Giving the poor old thing some unaccustomed exercise. Quite unusual handling with weight at the back and none at the front. Must be like a Porsche 911!

Ally revver in the back goes up to 9K!

Wasn't this a Coventry Climax engine?

Is that Ron Daymond's old car ?

Nice in white, not sure about the Boxster S wheels though, wrong period, they look too modern.

Interested to see how long it takes before someone posts what it is?

I'm sure it's of great historical interest, not exactly a looker though!
