Lancia left the US in 1982, before the Delta Integrale existed. Six consecutive manufacturer championships, 1987 to 1992, and not one car officially sold here. We import Integrale 8V, 16V, Evoluzione I and Evoluzione II from Italy and Portugal, inspected and verified, landed at a US port for $75,000 to $130,000 with a US title.
Why this car
The Integrale is the car that won more World Rally Championships than anything before or since, in a body you can park outside a grocery store. Two-liter turbo four, permanent all-wheel drive with a Torsen rear differential, a hatchback shape with box arches, and a cabin that is pure 1980s Italy. The Evo II (1993–1994), with 215 hp, the wide arches, the adjustable rear wing and the Recaro seats, is the one on every poster. The 16V (1989–1991) is the sweet spot for value. The 8V (1987–1989) is the rawest.
Values have tripled since 2015 and the special editions (Martini 5, Martini 6, Verde York, Blu Lagos, Gialla, Dealers Collection) have gone further. The US market has only ever seen a handful, nearly all gray-market. There is no dealer in the US specializing in them. There is now.

What we check on every Integrale
- Authenticity. Chassis number against the Lancia registry; Evo-badged 16Vs and fake special editions exist. We verify every one with the Italian Lancia club records and the ASI or the manufacturer’s heritage archive where available.
- Body. Rust in the rear arches, sills, floor, strut tops, under the rear wing, around the windscreen. Paint depth on the arches (replacement arches are common and must be declared). Evo-specific panels (bonnet vents, arches) checked for originality.
- Engine. Turbo condition, boost on a drive, oil pressure, timing belt and water pump date (interference engine), head gasket history, Evo II catalyst.
- Drivetrain. Center viscous coupling and rear Torsen behavior on a drive, transfer case leaks, clutch, gear selection (2nd gear synchro).
- Interior. Alcantara and Recaro condition, dash cracks (every one has some; we photograph them), gauge function, electrics (Italian 1990s, so everything is checked).
- Documentation. Italian libretto history, ASI certification if any, service records, original color code against the data plate.
FAQ
Which Integrale should I buy?
Evo II if budget allows: the most developed, the most valuable, the most sought-after. 16V if you want 90 % of the experience for 65 % of the price. 8V if you want the earliest, simplest and cheapest.
Are parts available in the US?
Specialists in Italy and the UK ship worldwide; several US shops service Integrales. Mechanical parts are shared with other Fiat-group cars of the era. Body and trim parts are the hard ones, which is why we check them so carefully.
Can I register it in California?
Not without CARB certification (built after 1975). Title in another state or buy something pre-1976.
