Description
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 2026 - Collectors' Cars on Saturday the 21st of February, Stoneleigh Park, Stoneleigh Rd, Coventry, CV8 2LG. Following an amazing seven years of success in the World Rally Championship for Group A cars, which included four Drivers’ titles and six consecutive Manufacturers’ Championships, Lancia decided to release one final, limited-edition version of their venerable Delta Integrale.
Named the Lancia Delta Integrale Evo II ‘Edizione Finale’, production was limited to just 250 examples, all finished in Rosso Amaranto (Bordeaux Red) with narrow yellow and blue stripes over the bonnet and roof. Influenced by the wildly enthusiastic Japanese ‘Deltisti’, who were inevitably going to be the biggest customers, the standard specification included high-back Recaro bucket seats, black fabric interior trim, 16” Speedline wheels finished in Anthracite, push-button start, carbon-fibre trim details, aluminium OMP pedals and passenger footrest, a Momo steering wheel, upgraded engine management to 250bhp, special Eibach springs front and rear, and an OMP strut brace. The engine and drivetrain were identical to the final Evo II, except for the upgraded engine management system, and retained permanent four-wheel drive.
According to documents within the history file, chassis# 00586462 was manufactured in December 1994 then delivered new to Japan and first registered in November 1995 featuring option codes for manual air-conditioning, English books and body waxing. The Integrale was then imported into the UK and registered here in 2017. Since then, we are informed that the Lancia has been professionally dry-stored in a temperature-controlled facility and run up to temperature regularly, with only occasional outdoor use for MOT testing or specialist routine maintenance.
This last-of-the-line icon is accompanied by a history file which includes a detailed service record from Japan, along with documentation summarising the frequent maintenance prior to export. It appears there is sufficient documented evidence to support the current odometer reading of 24, 859km (15, 446 miles) and also included in the file are the original book pack with owner handbooks, spare keys, import documents, maintenance invoices, old MOTs and a Lancia Classiche - Certificato di Origine.
Most recently, the Lancia received a major cambelt service with a specialist, including belts, engine oil, gearbox service, spark plugs, water pump and brake fluid change, dated March 2023 at 24, 776km.
The exterior of this example is pin-sharp, truly immaculate and overall, the Lancia presents beautifully. The interior is equally impressive, showing minimal wear, with the door cards even retaining the factory protective film. The engine compartment also presents extremely well, and on test, the car fired instantly, sounded healthy and performed very well with good power delivery, sharp handling and powerful brakes.
This is a rare opportunity to own a superb example of the ultimate development of the iconic Lancia Integrale. In outstanding order throughout with just over 15, 000 miles from new, it will undoubtedly appeal to both collectors and marque enthusiasts alike and we highly recommend attending our viewings to fully appreciate just how special this Final Edition Evo II really is.
