Give me a choice between the Lancer Evo, the Impreza, the Escort Cosworth, and that Delta, and I'd be way more than happy to have that Italian beauty. It still look great to this day.
"I'm no great 80s italian car fan with their recycled washing machine steel and their cramped interiors..." says the man hailing from the country where car makers were on strike most of the time and when they did make cars they were dull and had massive faults from off the factory.
B-group was banned after 1986. Lancia introduced Delta Integralle A8-group for WRC 1987, and wins 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992 - six in a row! For me absolutelly amazing car. Nevertheless I prefer the Celica ST185, as it was the first world class rally car I saw live on the stages. All the best for You Pramay!
The ANT hf4wd...... won in 87..... it has a narrower track but essentially the same running gear as my evo2. .... the reason some say 5 times is in 92 the hf integrale evo1 was rallied by martini racing and the jolly club..... not by the factory who built it.... lancia gave up the wrc in December 91.
It's funny really, when I bought mine in 2003, for £9700, it was just a 10 year old Lancia , almost forgotten and ignored by most car enthusiasts. You could get a lagos or La Perla limited edition for perhaps 5k more, but I was buying my first house and couldn't afford the extra..... crazy to watch now how the world suddenly covets these cars..... so many got broken up as they were not worth the repair costs..... a mate bought a nice 8v kat with a fresh head gasket fitted in 1999 for 3500... that was the going rate.. prob a 30k car now.
My wife owned this car up until it was written off in 2002, when a stupid half asleep lorry driver ran into the back of her. All we have left is the M4 EVO plate on retention, the manuals and toolkit. Such an incredible car. Leave scoobies standing.........
What a shame to hear M4 EVO has gone, I used to watch this video over and over while I was saving for my own Evo2 which I bought in 2003... thankfully she is still with me.
This is one of my favorite Top Gear pieces ever
Love these old Top Gear videos, with a proper soundtrack of the times!
I love the A-ha and Pet Shop Boys in the background, on top of seeing one of the sweetest cars ever made.
christdragon brings back childhood memories
The Delta HF Integrale actually won the WRC 6 times in a row :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_Delta_Group_A

I see one almost Everyday. such a classic.
Alright I know it's been 6 years but where the hell do you live for that to be the case

how does where the person is from affect the comment he's making??
you're talking as if he MAKES the british cars. lmao...
as italiano my father ever told me, when you are buying a car don't buy a fiat,.
@@pollettoaapiastra told you not to buy a Fiat? Northern Italian father?
Such a crying shame that Lancia made pile after pile after ridiculous pile of dog shit after this car was dropped from the line up.
"You can buy a decent one for seven grand."
Yeahhhhhh try 20 these days mate!
£35,000 for a EVO 1
Here I am in the US looking at one for $62,000
+MrMcKane Thank you for all TG videos!
“A bad ass attitude” hahahah!!! but he’s talking absolute sense tbh
Lancia Delta has 6 WRC titles not 5.
KamilMB yeah I think it was 5 in a row but 6 in total

Regardless of inflation, there were actually people back when this was filmed who spent 7 grand on something else😭imagine how shit.

20 years later 7000 become 70000
This has been one of my all time favorite cars. In the USA, you can't get one for under $10k
Try picking one of those up for £7k these days, probably more like £25k+ if its in great shape
I doubt they are $7,000 today..maybe $70,000. Well deserved status as a beast!!
"You can buy one for 7 grand." 😭😭😭, having just looked at a beautiful model in November 2022 for £99995.
ANY music you put under footage of an integrale will do, believe me, I tried.
The 355 has doubled in value!
My evo 2 is insured now for 5x what I paid for it as this is what it would cost to replace it.... purchased in 2003.

I will forever lust after one of these beauts.
Where are Lancia now and what happened to them?
They've become a badge engineering company now.
Fiat. That's what happened to them.
My favourite car that 65k now
Now they sell these cars for 90K on secondhand car
websites :c I want it !!!

Like an Alpha and a Golf had a baby
This is why I drive a subaru

Ender because you cannot afford a lancia?
