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

That never happened when I had my integrale 8v, I was always full on alery. It was a fantastic car. If anyone knows what happened to F123 TPA I'd be curious to know.
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.

TX.
True, £20k for a 15+ year-old car isn't cheap (Evo1's are better value) but most other "faster and better" cars in that price range will still be depreciating.... and what would you rather be seen in, an Integrale or a recent S3/R32/Impreza/Lancer? (OK, that's subjective... and I'm completely biased). lots of cars much faster & "better" for that sort of wedge ...TX.

£85k!? hahahahahahaha, no chance! I know the Integrale has a following, but even the most hardcore fan couldn't be crazy enough to put that much cash into this.
I've driven Evo 1 & 2's & personally found these cars to be rather disappointing, yet i'm still a fan of these, but not to the tune of £85k.
Really? A total "one-off" to the highest of standards with virtually no milage, a modern historic classic and utterly unique? I would say its worth every penny....I've driven Evo 1 & 2's & personally found these cars to be rather disappointing, yet i'm still a fan of these, but not to the tune of £85k.
Also, if you find them dissappointing, how come you are still a fan?
Personally, I think this is car porn......if I was a lottery winner expanding my fantasy garage, this puppy would be WAY up the list......

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.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.

I own an Evo 1 and am having hard time trying to comprehend how you found an integrale disapointing.
I too have been lucky enough to own and drive some glorious cars, from 911s to Lotus Carltons, and my Evo is the most exhilerating and fun car to drive, and one of the best handling
one thing you dont get with an integrale, is anything being there for show, the wheel arches are for a wider track and better corning, the bonnet bulge to house the injection plenum and allow for the raised suspension turrets in the later models, pure purpose not show.
maybe you need a drive in one with someone who knows how to drive a 4WD high performance car.
or maybe you are just looking for a reaction?!?!?
Some people just don't realise how amazing the Evo 1 is. A chassis that could handle 600+ hp. Handling that Porsche could only dream about at that time.I too have been lucky enough to own and drive some glorious cars, from 911s to Lotus Carltons, and my Evo is the most exhilerating and fun car to drive, and one of the best handling

No other 4 seater car from that age made it into this line up - just look what cars the Evo is parked next to:
McLaren F1 v Ferrari F40 v Pagani Zonda C12S v Lancia Delta Integrale v Bugatti Veyron v Honda NSX-R v Porsche 997 GT3 v Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R.
