1993 Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 1

Offered for sale is this truly outstanding 1993 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo 1. This is a low-mileage, collector-quality example of the rally-bred icon. Delivered new to Japan and imported to Ireland in 2023, this Evo 1 has covered just 50,000 km from new and remains entirely stock, with the only exception being a mild exhaust upgrade fitted over 10 years ago, enhancing the car’s sound while retaining originality in appearance. This Integrale has a fully documented, unblemished service history, and is completely free from the typical modifications often found on lesser examples. Most remarkably, it still retains the original factory-fitted protective plastic on the door cards, a testament to how carefully this car has been preserved. In preparation for sale, it has also undergone four days of forensic detailing and now rides on brand-new tyres. Finished in classic rally red, the Evo 1’s wide-arched bodywork remains in superb condition. A recent professional detailing process has restored the paintwork to a deep, consistent gloss with no major imperfections. Trim, badges, lighting, and glass are all correct and well preserved. The car sits on its factory wheels, which remain in excellent condition and are fitted with new tyres. The interior is a time capsule. The factory Recaro seats, dash, and controls are all in excellent, unmodified condition. Most impressively, the original protective plastic from the factory is still present on the door cards, underscoring the car’s exceptional preservation. All switches and instrumentation function as intended, and the cabin retains the clean, focused layout that defines the Integrale driving experience. Powered by the legendary turbocharged 2.0L 16-valve engine and permanent all-wheel drive, the Evo 1 delivers classic rally performance with everyday usability. This car runs beautifully, benefitting from meticulous upkeep over its life. The only non-factory change is an upgraded exhaust, fitted approximately 10 years ago. It enhances the engine note subtly without being intrusive and retains a factory-style visual appearance. The car drives superbly, with smooth power delivery, precise shifts, and well-sorted suspension and brakes. Few cars match the on-road presence and driving engagement of the Integrale Evo 1. This example, with its low mileage, original spec, and recent maintenance, offers an authentic experience—agile, responsive, and full of character. It performs exactly as it should, thanks to its mechanical integrity and careful ownership. Whether for spirited drives or as part of a high-quality collection, this example won’t disappoint.
