EXTERIOR
This 35k mile example is one of only 220 bonafide Giallo Ginestra Evo IIs ever produced. The paintwork presents in exceptional condition throughout and the quality of the finish is quite simply stunning with a deep, lustrous shine and absolutely no marks or blemishes to report. There are of course no rust issues present to either the bodywork or underside, the car having been stripped and fastidiously refurbished over an 18-month period. Even finer details such as the trims are in first-rate condition, and the panel gaps are spot on. With the exception of a few subtle changes including the black grille, Group A door mirrors, and larger 17-inch wheels, the exterior is visually not far off a standard example.
INTERIOR
Sitting inside the Integrale there’s no doubt you’re behind the wheel of something special. The first thing you’ll notice are sliding Recaro buckets in black velour, and to hold you in place are 3-inch OMP harnesses for both driver and passenger. Other high-quality OMP items include a full roll cage, Alcantara steering wheel, and aluminium pedals. The original door cards have also been replaced with brushed aluminium items, and the rear seats have been removed entirely; in their place, a full-size spare wheel mounted firmly to the cage. The dash and centre console remain for the most part in their original state, with a few upgrades over standard including an uprated boost gauge for enhanced driver feedback, and the necessary Evo II short-shift kit with carbon fibre surround. The cabin is lifted further with tailored HF floor mats and a bespoke rear carpet installation giving a superb OEM-quality finish.

HISTORY FILE
First registered in 1995 this striking rust-free example is one of only 220 Evo IIs produced in sublime Giallo Ginestra. Under current ownership the car has been fully refreshed to a very high standard and so presents in exceptional condition throughout. With only 35k miles under its belt it further benefits from a number of tasteful ‘clubsport’ upgrades (as above) perfectly suited to fast-road use, and unsurprisingly it’s the most rewarding Integrale we’ve ever driven.
The accompanying History File comprises the original Lancia document pack, owner’s manuals, the V5C registration document (showing 1 former keeper), and a raft of parts and labour invoices. The car was imported from the salt-free roads of Japan in 2016 with all taxes paid on arrival. It has covered less than 2k dry miles since being in the UK.
