Ex-Stig Ben Collins has always yearned for a European hot hatch, and Mike has found him what could be the best car of all time from that category. The Lancia Delta Integrale. Should Ben buy one of these timeless future classics?
A massive thank you to the owner of the Integrale @notts.rs and B500 Magazine for sourcing it!

First
@@greg7601 I find it somewhat sad that you are still doing this, but the fact that your comment is a reply to another comment, so you aren't first, is hilarious.
The ads within the video are extremely annoying.
It was I mean I’m an oxymoron
Ben is an excellent presenter, very knowledgeable, passionate, and easy to listen to. He really should do a lot more of these. Pick up where the trio left off.
Check out his own channel - loads of content over there
Can't agree more extremely knowledgeable, should have his own channel.
@@ImranHussain-cy8wg he does
I think he gives what real petrol heads want in his delivery. This Chanel is does it all the time. Top gear definitely has its place but this offers something different - it’s a bit more BBC!
Indeed. He does only know two facts about ducks though.
Uncut version of this video please!
I for one don't mind The Stig waffle on about the technical and history of the car. As 1)it was quite interesting and 2) with Ben's indepth knowledge we are bound to learn something new.
I feel this way so often. Like even for The Grand Tour, Wilman talks about how much work it is to cut it down to 1-1.5 hours, but I can't imagine who wouldn't want them to be longer!
(Especially with only 1 special a year now.) Also: This channel in particular tends to cut off James a lot in a joking way, as if we don't want to lap up every bit of his obscure knowledge.
i agree on the uncut
Literally!!
Yes, uncut version please! It's a pity to cut him off mid nerd-out.
+1 on uncut version. I’m sure they had plenty of content to make this a 20min video. This wasn’t bad by any means, but at 9 minutes, it was a bit rushed.
Let Ben do his thing! More of him please!
I love how Ben does weird things just like The Stig would do weird things. He really did make that character
Some say he runs in random gardens and offers water to the stone deers, and recently he was found touching some dirt inappropriately. All we know, he is called The Stig
Like the episode with the "what dog?" line after tossing a bag o poo
Ben is the stig
@@Goscar50 you don’t say?!?!
@@jayrad9545 that was absolute comedy genius 💖👏
Ben drives like Clarkson, explains things like James, and gardens like Hammond.
Think that racing driver would be insulted having his driving compared to that of a journalist
I almost thought you were going to say: crashes like Hammond. xD
He just means, SPEEEEED!!!@@jackwarren3080
What a car... what nostalgia! They don't make cars like that anymore, not even Lancia itself makes them! The Integrale marked a generation, it must be a pleasure to drive it!
Yaris gr is a modern example
@@jaimep.3145 I’ve always thought the GR Yaris to be the spiritual successor to the Integrale.
Yeah the integrale is a hole grale for me.
Most of us weren’t falling asleep when he was talking about the diff!!! That’s when we perked up! Come on DT. 😜
id love to hear ben go on more about the technical parts of the car and not mock it. its really interesting and different. keep ben coming
Hi
This is a most Stig's car anyone can imagine.
Brilliant, would love to see more of Ben, he's way underutilized
Some say, The Ben Collins keeps earth in his pocket for perfect weight distribution..
nice to see Ben having more screen time on the show. if he ever creates his own UA-cam channel, I will be the first to sub
ua-cam.com/users/BenCollinsDrives try that ;)
He has a UA-cam channel, ua-cam.com/users/BenCollinsDrives.
@@Ody196 oh Wow! thanks!!
@@_undefined1744 Happy to help!
Can we get a full version of what he was talking about with the diff if he said anything afterwards, I think it would be quite interesting
(I do realize I could just look it up online)
What's with giving Ben the "James May treatment" of fading him out over 4WD? I wanted to hear him compare this to AWD. This wasn't about nuclear power. C'mon! Would love to see Ben in a later model WRX to continue the topic. I love the look of that car Hammond drove in Africa. Guess those aren't 1500 quid anymore.
Same here! I was really enjoying that too and unlike James... Ben is alot more engaging lol. Though, I suspect the production crew deliberately (edit: to clarify, meant production crew at TG)made Jame's audio appear more montone than normal lol....
Me too, I thought this was a car entusiast channel, not an pure entertainment program like TG was!
@@Bratfalken Exactly what I’ve just written! Spot on.
@@Bratfalken I'm not even that huge a car enthusiast. I was curious as an owner of three Subaru Foresters (obviously AWD).
I think the budget for tha challenge is about 6000 quid. But yeah, it's not under 10k quid car anymore
We need a directors cut where we can listen to ben explain the mechanics of the car
Another great Vid. However… not happy you cut Ben off when chatting spec. Love hearing this type of detailed explanation.
#Lancianostalgia
Ben is an amazing presenter / car reviewer. I'm glad he finally has the chance to share his opinions without having to wear a mask non stop (although I loved the Stig too! )
80k seems appropriate for such a beautifully maintain Integrale… One of my favorite (performance) cars of all time. I was a teenager and aspiring industrial designer when it came out and was in love at first site. Perfect proportions!
The "pixellation" on the thumbnail still made it look unmistakenly like a Delta Integrale.
I would not mind seeing more Delta on here, neither does Stig May.
Although i am not really a fan of its looks and it's way too capable and logical for me to appreciate as a layman.
But it does look like a really well balanced car. Captain Obvious signing out.
KEEP THE BEN COLLINS REVIEWS COMING!! THIS IS AWESOME.
The closest thing a piece of metal ever got to having a heart and soul!
‘It’s like flying in an old Harrier Jump-jet’ ahh such a relatable metaphor…
i do like the classic look of this car since we dont get to see this kind of cars these days
You have to find a badge these days to know what you are looking at!
@@Bratfalken seem intresting
WE NEED MORE BEN REVIEWING CARSSS !!! MAN DESERVES HIS OWN SHOW TBH 🔥🔥
I drove professionally for a few years thirty years ago and I do not watch much of this type of television but I was wholly impressed, as I suggest you should be, with how quickly the hedge goes past, and how composed his whole body remains, while he also talks to the camera. I admit I was not sure I would warm to him, but actually I was entirely won over, so he is a total success. Yes they should give Ben much more screen time. And, having recently reassembled and fitted a Torsen 4wd transmission and differential you do want to know how it works and no they should not have faded Ben out on that, I think.
FYI we can totally see that it is a Lancia Delta Integrale XD
trying to pixelate cars doesn't really work for petrolheads who know so many cars lol, I clicked because I saw Lancia
i thought it was a beetle
I'm they do this deliberately, just to get more comments.
Love to see The stig's eccentric spirit still strong on Ben
A Lancia Delta.. what a poster car it is, a legend of its own
I love how you guys are having Ben do all the strange stuff the stig did 😂
He tuned me out on my diff chat LOL - there will be more of that though, oh yes!! Loved this car
Ben Collins busting out the Engineering knowledge! IT's true, the Stig really was James May! 😂
My dream car when I was a kid. Grew up seeing this beast just chewing WRC Constructor Championships.
Awesome, I think I recommended one of those in the video where he said he's looking for a hot hatch, hope he finds one on a budget.
I love the way those cars drive, in hard numbers a modern one would be way faster etc. but something like a Delta is far more immersive than a modern GTI.
I'd go as far as saying it's as if you compare real racing with sim racing.
I immediately recognised the car from the small pixelated thumbnail.
Same
Between Drivetribe and Praga content, I'm loving seeing more of Ben. Wouldn't mind more long form stuff though as well.
That wasn't blurred very well at all. I could tell right away what it was.
This is almost starting to feel like old school Top Gear
Collin’s was wasted on TG as the Stig, he’s a great reviewer
But then again, top gear already had 3 great presenters, and he did make for a fantasticly entertaining character as the stig
7:53
Possibly the Renault R5 Turbo2?
That thing was pure insanity
The pixelation of the video thumbnail did a great job. No one would possibly see that it's a red Lancia Delta.
I get this sense that Collins is highly educated & there’s some poet fighting to get out, something in the cadence
Best review delivery to camera I've seen by Ben. Wasn't bored by technical talk, shame it got cut for comic effect.
Such a legendary car!!!Hope they will come back soon with something similar
Fantastic. "It's a very naughty car". I had the HF 4WD which was pre Integrale with 56/44 raw front split. A sweet car for the day with sublime steering. Completely reliable and usable, so much so, I racked up a huge mileage in it. And that's the problem with nearly all Integrales; they're so nice to drive, they often have huge mileages on them, Unfortunately, they are now too expensive.
Had one for 6 years. Truly phenomenal car. Loved every drive in it. It DOES have lag, but this is old school and highly addictive.
Remember on the TG Lancia tribute film when Hammond said the Intergrale “wasn’t very pretty”…must have been laced with smack that day.
I was enjoying the technical info. love this car. always using it on dirt rally 2.0
My dad had a delta integrale when I was a kid. We drifted around with me in a backwards child seat. Doing figure eights on a parking lot!
This is just about the perfect hatchback the stig would ever need.
A childhood favourite. It will only get better.
So happy the Ben Collins is back 😊 drive tribe is getting better and better 🔥
So glad that Ben is becoming a regular here. He's brilliant. Chris Harris and Tiff Needel should also get more time on this channel.
This car reminds me of the Mazda GT-R which I had seen in the 90s and loved the look of. Similar specs but being made in Japan it will be more reliable. Amazing car and Stig is very lucky to drive it.
You don’t need to blur the car in the thumbnail, it’s a Delta alright. Absolute classic. Saw one for 300.000 euros the other day.
Glorious. I absolutely adore this.
Had a red one from 93 for 15 years. Great car when its not broke. I had a black alcantara interior. On bumby curvy roads I have never had anything better.. it was a monster
If it is original check the chassis between the doors because it breaks there. It is a family hatchback from 1979 with a 1.3L petrol engine and 10y later they fit it with 220turbo monster and a Torsten 4x4. It won everything, but as a street car it is made to stay in the living room, to show it to guests.
Even though it was blurred in the thumbnail, it was *really* easy to see what car this was haha. especially since it was red
I also keep dirt in my pocket in order to drive quickly.
kinda happy to see ben still doing some weird stig-type antics in the garden.🤣❤️
Some say he has a pet chicken, and he also likes to put the chicken on a tree swing and push it back and forth. All we know is, he's called THE STIG
Absolute bucket list car for me... just in awe of them every time I see one 🥴
One of the greatest cars ever made. Looks fantastic and was an absolute rocket.
Driven by one of the best drivers ever on TV even though we didn't know it was him most of the time.
.....some say that he enjoys running around in his garden and watering his goose statue whilst spending time with his rooster on the swing and that he enjoys the feel of dirt in his pockets....
.... all we know is that he's called the stig
😉😄
I just bought a 84 Lancia HPE Volumex (supercharged estate) and I love it. It's practical, comfortable, handles nicely and delivers power in a way no modern 2liter can. It may not be quick by todays standard, but it's entertaining to drive and pretty to look at.
Ben has been flipping killing it. Knowledge and skill in perfect harmony
Magnificent car! Amazed you found one that wasn't a pile of rust. Probably the reason for the commanding price though.. 😲
Great review Ben
Waiting for James' 10 hour analysis video on the torsen diff...
More and more and more Ben please!
Just let Ben talk! That was interesting stuff that I wanted to hear!!!
Love the Dash and Lover the Stig presenting. He could have his own show, And I watch it
Shame his commentary was faded out , he’s a great presenter and very knowledgeable, wish he had his own top gear style show.
Knew it even from the blurry thumbnail, what a car. Would love one
You should probably consider putting some tyres on that thing instead of the thin coats of black paint. It would make the ride a bit more comfortable than sliding down a gravel path.
I recently purchased an Integrale Evo 2 myself and I am currently restoring and modifying it on my channel! Check it out if you wana see more content on this legendary rally car
Most def he should get this absolute LEGEND ❤️
Can't believe Stig diff chat is on the editing room floor!!
Hate how the most interesting bits were just turned into snooze joke :(
I would love to see more videos that have in depth, "boring", technical details and history.
That integrale is in great nick, nice find.
one of the finest looking designs!!!
Sig doing his best James May impersonation! 😂 luv it
Actually love to hear old Stig speaking now what character on Motorsports and top gear as well driveTribe ,the car yes what beautiful car lovely on red
7:40 This is how we know James was the Stig as well.
If Ben was a presenter on the post Clarkson Hammond May Top Gear I would watch it.
Ben, Mike and Jimmy Broadbent. Perfect trio
More technical analysis from Ben, please! Maybe even a tech channel, similar to what the cycling channels do (with great success, eg gmbn tech)
Please do more of these arguments with Ben!
Top ten all-time car for me .. love these EVO2s
Nice video. Nice car. Nice background music.
That’s a fine example of a king of the era.
I was hoping it was going to be the S4 Stradale. Now THAT’S a car!
Jesus that car is in fine shape!
In a weird bit of reality; I'd love to see Ben Collins be a presenter on Top Gear with Chris Harris.
My brother is a serial Integrale owner, so I have had the pleasure of doing s few. Spot on review except for the omission of the profusion of interior rattles which I believe Lancia engineered into the design.
I'd love a Ben and James talk engineering video 😂
Holy Grale, respect. When buying one, check for the cracks at the bottom of A pillars under the carpet, turbos can be fixed with hybrid Garret 3/4, mapped engine to approx. 280bhp is safe for the gearbox. Clutch is a nightmare to replace, but then again, penny wouldn't drop through the engine bay. Intercooler position can be improved for clean air and tubular exhaust manifold and 3" exhaust is a must.
PS. Just make sure you replace timing belt at 25k miles intervals, as those exhaust sodium filled valves cannot be found anymore, used to be £40 each back in late 90s.
I knew what car that was even blurred. great car and a must have. would love to drive one
Rally royalty.
I would have like to hear the rest of the bit about the differential! knowledge about these types of details matter to car people!
One of the great cars. If heaven has a garage it has one of these
Oh come on I love the real technical stuff!!!
