That has to be the first one I've seen on UK tarmac...

Can you give us a few vital stats on the car? How does it fair against the previous generation of Delta?

Forgive my ignorance, I know a fair bit about pre-1994 Lancia, but that one's totally off the radar for me!

Is yours standard, or tuned?

Very nice indeed. I fancied one of those back in 2000 if memory serves me correctly and the rarirty factor was one of the major attractions. I test drove one at Richard Thorne Lancia that was yellow. I wonder if it was your car? It was certainly a great drive.

Well it is basically the new version HF Turbo which was never sold in the uk...
The Engine is that of the Fiat Coupe 16v Turbo...or the same as the integrale but as it has a Cat etc reduces Bhp to 192 instead of 200...
Its front wheel drive with a fancy slip diff up the front which works very well... handling is very good for a car its size and is very nimble although people expect to be a bit lumbersom!!
Bravo HGT Brakes.. Bravo Chassis...but the panels are unique to that car.. some had electronic suspension settings..mine doesnt.. 0-60 is approx 7 seconds

My engine is standard apart from an induction kit and full straight through custom exhaust...
Im tempted by the chip that you can buy from squadra tuning that makes one hell of a difference on the car.!!
there are a few yellow ones about...and a Black..

here are a few links of a bloke down south with his around the track... and one with the chip in..

[DOOG]

I like the wheels..

Why you selling it?

[davecrook1]

thanks... im selling it only for the fact that i cant afford to run it as im doing alot of miles and im still going to college part time so it uses a bit too much fuel than i can afford... i just wish i was paid more..haha
hence lookin for a clio 172 instead as it returns 35mpg..
