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. In 1986 there was a facelift with the Delta GT and HF turbo were given Weber IAW integrated electronic ignition and fuel injection system to become the Delta GT i. e. and the Delta HF turbo i. e., with 108 PS and 140 PS respectively. Deeper changes had been made to the GT i. e. engine: the cylinder head had been rotated 180°, bringing the exhaust side to the front for better cooling, and the whole engine was canted forward 18° to lower its centre of mass height. The Delta HF turbo was updated to HF 4WD looks and interior, from which it differed mainly for the square headlights and single exhaust.
This extremely rare RHD example has been fitted with a Hormann body kit from new. Remarkably rust free and displaying a genuine c. 73, 000 miles it presents in fabulous condition. With only 4 registered keepers, it has been garage stored since purchase by the vendor and enjoyed as a frequent weekend car during the nicer months. Described as driving well it comes with a stamped service book and the owners handbook accompanied by the original wallet.
