1990 Lancia Delta Turbo Integrale HF 16V RHD!
The Lancia Delta is a small family car produced by Italian automobile manufacturer Lancia in three generations.
The first generation was produced between 1979 and 1994, the second generation from 1993 to 1999, and the third generation from 2008 to 2014.
The Delta was first shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1979 and dominated the World Rally Championship during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
The homologation requirements of Group A regulations meant marketing road-going versions of these competition cars — the Lancia Delta HF 4WD and HF Integrale.
A total of 44, 296 Integrales were produced.
Design was by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign; Its platform put together MacPherson suspension developed for the Beta with four-cylinder, SOHC engines derived from the Fiat Ritmo.
The Fiat engines were revised by Lancia engineers with a Weber twin-choke carburettor, a new inlet manifold, exhaust system and electronic ignition, changes that combined to produce 85 PS (63 kW; 84 hp), ten more horsepower than the same engine did in the Ritmo.
To achieve its market positioning the Delta offered features uncommon in the segment, as fully independent suspension, rack and pinion steering, available air conditioning, optional split-folding rear seat, height-adjustable steering wheel, and defogger.
Its three-piece body-coloured bumpers made from polyester resin sheet moulding compound were claimed by Lancia to be a first in the industry.
The heating and ventilation were developed with help from Saab, experts in the field, who also claimed to have had a hand in the rust proofing of the Delta.
It was also thanks to Saab that the split-folding rear seats were developed and the boot-lid was extended all the way down to the bumper, simplifying loading and unloading.
In October 1985 Lancia unveiled alongside the road-going Delta S4 a new version of the HF, renamed Delta HF turbo in view of the four-wheel-drive HF début awaited after the next summer.
To address some criticisms, the car was given less subdued styling features and more generous equipment to differentiate it from the other Deltas: red "HF turbo" scripts on the grille, the side skirts and the rear hatch, a three-spoke sport steering wheel, dual wing mirrors, a two-colour pinstripe along the mid-bodyside character line and Pirelli P6 tyres on 14-inch Cromodora alloy wheels with a new 8-hole design.
Price, technical specifications and performance remained mostly unchanged.
When in later years the more powerful, four-wheel-drive HF models were introduced the HF turbo remained on sale alongside them.
This Integrale was converted from new by UK Lancia Dealer, Richard Thorne in the UK, for well-known and Legendary Mnet (South African Pay TV Channel) producer Scot Scott.
The engine has had performance modifications and upgrades over the years and it is menacingly fast.
