Hi guys. Name is Nephilim, I like my cars - my favourite is Delta Lancia Integrale.

I am 26, engaged, have a child, sadly do not own a car, but I do love them. I run my own site for dads/grandads (biological, stepdad, adoptive, fostering, or otherwise). I am soon to be registered disabled (reason for not owning a car).

My favourite car events that I try to attend - Renault World Series, Porsche World Series, British F1 (I try to go for the practice laps also), Goodwood Festival of speed and the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Underrated? I don't think I've EVER seen anyone underrate it.

When I was young my parents hired a small car on a spanish island - looked like a Fiat Uno, all I remember was my dad driving this underpowered Lancia badged thing with real verve, commenting on the handling (I think we had a BL maestro at the time).

It's a shame Lancia is history in the UK.

Look more closely.

It isnt the Delta its being confused with. Its a Lancia GpB rally special made out of tubing, aluminium and composites, with a mental engine where the back seats should be.

It shares a very loose family resemblance with a FWD Lancia Delta, but thats all. Its called a Delta S4 for marketing purposes and unlike the Delta series production cars its being confused with, it only has a rally heritage!

Probably an Autobianchi Y10. Most were FIREs (1.0l) but you could get a Turbo too!

That's a bit unfair, the FWD (4WD you know) Delta had some rallying success in GpA and the road-going versions of the Integrale were not so far derived from it.

It certainly did, but thats a GpB homologation special that appears to be being confused with a series production car.
