This car has two particularities which made it stand out from the other Delta Integrale models: firstly, it is a limited series in "Lagos Blue", featuring a beautiful blue colour on the entire bodywork. It also has 16-inch silver rims and special Recaro seats in an elegant light beige leather. This series was limited to only 215 examples, of which 20 of them went to France. It is therefore an extremely exclusive car.
The other characteristic that sets it apart is the fact that it only had two owners since new. Delivered new in 1995, it is complemented by its service logbook and invoices which indicate that it had a mileage of 14, 700 km in 1997 and 51, 000 km displayed on the odometer in October 2001, while it was still in the hands of the first owner. Our seller acquired it in 2004 when he was living in Alsace. He then moved to the South West but only used this car occasionally, hence why the mileage has barely increased to a total of 65, 000 km from new.
In addition to the logbook mentioned above, it also includes both of its keys, its user manual and various documents provided when it was still new. It is now in rare original condition, with slightly patinated seats and a superb interior. As for the exterior, the paint is in used condition but bearing in mind that the owner wanted to preserve the car's original condition as much as possible.
The Evo 2 was the most advanced version of this special homologation and combined with its all-wheel drive, its 215 hp engine enabled it to perform wonders on the road. This stunning example which has always remained in France, honours the legendary sports car with a brilliant rallying record.
