LANCIA DELTA S4 STRADALE 1985

RED

2 Registered Keepers, Lancia Delta S4 Stradale, 1 of 45 road-cars remaining. A unique opportunity to invest in rallying history. Lancia have always been associated with Rallying, especially in the glorious 80s with the Group B monsters. The Delta S4 is one of the most iconic rally cars in the sport's history, replacing the 037 Monte Carlo and competing in the World Championships in 1985 and 1986 untll the FIA banned Group B spec cars. For homoligation processes, Lancia also built a claimed 200 Delta S4 Stradales in the mid-1980s; a road-going version of the Group B monster. However, records suggest that only around 65 cars were ever produced, with 20 being destroyed or converted to competition-spec for privateer racing. Although power was reduced to around 200bhp, the car retained the twin-charging of the rally-car. In fact, many stradales were taken into competition by their owners, especially as boosting power from the 4-cylinder engine was an easy procedure. The car we are able to offer, is one of the few remaining perfect Delta S4s, a true road-going version of a rally and automotive icon. Built in 1985, the car cost �55,000 from new and has covered only 21,000km. Furthermore, this S4 has recently undergone substantial restoration on the bodywork, mechanics and paintwork, meaning it is presented in 'better than new' condition. The S4 is currently sitting in full 'stradale' specification, however a spare Group B front-end and Stradale rear-end will be included in the sale. Following its restoration, the car has dyno'd at over 300bhp and is naturally perfect in and out following months of attention by Italian specialists. This S4 is now also in 'Potenziato Spec;' which involves modifications such as wider rear tyres and strengthened clutch. The car is finished in its original factory Red with an untouched Beige suede interior. This 1985 Lancia Delta S4 Stradale is most probably the finest example in the world; an investment opportunity that is rarely seen on the m
