i agree there are newer and in some people opinions "better" cars , however get an integrale on a open twisty b road and your smile will be like the jokers in batman, and your confidence will grow and grow, whenever i am cheesed off a short blast in mine takes that away

plus have you ever had people leaning out of cars around you taking pictures of your car?

i did not buy mine for the show, but so many people hold these in such high regard, and for good reason, they are supercar slayers on the twisty stuff.

this evo 3 maybe over priced in some peoples opinion, the same way in that i see no point in anyone buying a soft roader yet there are 1000s out there, at least get the orginal and one that can cut it in the rough stuff, a Legacy Outback.

back to topic, i would love this purely to let others see it


Stunning cars no doubt but at £20k lots of cars much faster & "better" for that sort of wedge ...

I've owned had a Delta for the past 20 years, owned an 8v Hf integrale for 10 years and and Evo 2 Lord Blue for the past four years. You can run them as an everyday car, they can go wrong and they rust like every other car. I've never been so passionate about another car. It's not the quickest car, a Mitsu Evo will go around corners quicker but that's not what it's about... If you don't get it when you drive one then you're missing out on a wonderful experience.
85k for the one and only Evo3? Think I'll be sending my old dear on a one way trip to Switzerland

The chance to own Biasion's car! Amazing!

Yeah, but it's changed a bit since its famous victory. That car was originally a 1988 8 valve, so nothing like what it is now.

4 pages and no one commented on this:

"A Maggiora plaque sat proudly by the side indicators and on the hand-made carbon fibre centre console, with a beige Alcantara interior from the last EVO IIs."

I only see "shiny black plastics" as mentioned in the picture....

You are correct. The centre console pictured is standard other than the limited edition badge. Perhaps someone has had a carbon centre console made for it which is included in the sale. I was fortunate enough to drive this car around the Maggiora test track many years ago and also be driven it it by the then owner of the factory (names since forgotten unfortunately) up to Aosta to pick up my car which had broken down en route to the factory. As far as I can remember it had a standard centre console then as per the pictures.

Also, the colour is not shown accurately in the first picture - it is more of a smokey shade of mauve than the vivid purple - best shown in the shot with mounds of coal in the background.

Look up the Delta S4 ECV

Shame it never raced.

Does look familiar.



Yep - that would get the job done

No idea, but have great memories of my white 8v, F522 TPA. And then a later red Evo Integrale as well.

Love the idea of getting one again, but increasing price and age of that lovely Italian metal means I'm not all that likely to do so.

Did you buy it from a strange import company? They messed me about a bit, and lent me a black integrale while I waited. I took that to Le Mans.

Sorry, didn't see this reply as for some reason I don't get email notifications for follow-ups from this forum (note to self, try and fix that).

Yes, got it from a company based around Woking. Didn't mess me about, as far as I can remember. Got flown out to Germany to pick up the car and drive it home. So, first encounter with a Grale, to find that the speedo didn't work. Oops. Speed on the way home? No idea. Just did what the faster Mercs/BMWs seemed to do on the open roads, and enjoyed the car on the twisty bits
