1990 Lancia Delta HF integrale 16v 2.0 turbo 16v

Summary:

High performance, high class rally hero snapping at the heels of supercars

Faults:

Clutch slave cylinder bracket broke, but I was able to drive it to the garage. Couple of dodgy earths.

General Comments:

OK the electrics could be a bit better, but the reliability issue is complete rubbish. You can't buy an integrale and expect it to run faultlessly if you don't pay attention to the servicing etc. had the car a year now and still have a big grin every time I drive it.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1990 Lancia Delta Integrale 2.0 16v turbo

Faults:

Just one rear CV joint to date. Replaced cheaply by local specialist dealer. Tyre wear is heavy - but that's just because I drive it as it was designed to be driven!

General Comments:

These have a bad reputation for reliability, but so far (15 months) it has behaved. The only slight niggles that I've had, are with the bank of lights that warn of impending doom!

Every day a different one lights up - even though nothing is wrong. I now take the attitude that so long as at least one of them is lit, all is well!

Oh, and the chassis could happily handle at least half as much power again.

There is no rust, and I'll never sell.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No
