Lancia..

Such sick cars. Lancia Delta Integrale 16V with 5 speed would be such a cool car to have here in the states...how reliable are these Lancias?

Still laughing about that one!!

Bog-standard Lancias brand-new are a reliability nightmare, a highly-tuned, low-volume specilist version brings me out in a cold sweat..........

Ask Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) he's a petrolhead to the core, but he has made a good living over the years writing articles about how often his Integrale has let him down.

Makes his other love (Aston-Martins) look like paragons of reliability

The four-wheel-drive unit should be OK though, it's a proper FF Developments one with the critical 37:63 torque-split.

Someone once said that the design philosophy of Lancias was to never adopt a simple solution when a very complicated one will do.

Pretty well sums it up.

Still laughing as well Paul!

Lancia's are cool though. Have you checked out the Stratos Kyle? Now there's a Lancia! Had the engine out of a Ferrari Dino. Anyone know what these suckas go for nowadays?

Wasn't the Dino just a well disguised Fiat? (That's what I heard anyway )

Guys,

Just had a look locally (Southeast England).

The cheapest Lancia Delta Integrale was £2900.

Sounds like a lot of time will be spent with dirty hands on that one


Couldn't find any Stratos for sale, but I would guess they would go for much more, if only for the Ferrari engine. The only statistic I can remember about them is that they are slightly shorter than a Honda Civic
