This Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo II is a striking example of the iconic modern classic homologation-special, offered for sale by its third owner from new. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 2.0-litre 16-valve inline-four, delivering around 160kW to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example was originally an Italy-delivered model, which was converted to right-hand-drive in-period by John Whalley in the UK, before it was exported to Australia as a personal import in October 1997, and has now been with the seller and third owner for a year and a half. This limited-edition Delta HF Integrale Evo II ‘Giallo Ginestra’ is one of only 220 examples produced. The odometer shows a modest 76,420 Kms from new. The Evoluzione II ‘Giallo Ginestra’ is one of the most coveted Lancia Delta Integrale special editions. Created towards the end of the model’s production run, it was available exclusively in the vibrant hue of Giallo Ginestra, and featured Recaro seats trimmed in Charcoal Alcantara, with contrasting yellow stitching. It rides on an aftermarket set of 17-inch Speedline-style multi-spoke alloy wheels finished in gloss-grey, and shod in Yokohama Advan Fleva tyres. Though the seller notes that the new owner has a choice of either the wheels and tyres currently fitted to the car, or the original set of alloy wheels. The factory specification includes a heated rear screen, a black leather-trimmed Momo Corse steering wheel, air conditioning, and electric front windows. This example has been upgraded with a stainless-steel rear muffler, and a Sony ‘Drive-S HX’ stereo. The car comes with a space-saver spare wheel, the factory service book, the owner’s manuals, the tool kit, the original sale inspection document, warranty card, a UK tax disc from 1997, a Walkers Garage parts catalogue, an owner’s handbook supplement, a collection of paperwork with service invoices dating back to 2007, purchase receipts and correspondence for service parts and spares, correspondence from John Whalley Motors confirming the right-hand-drive conversion, and copies of the import approval and original Australian road worthy test. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The vehicle was subject to a paint correction and ceramic coat paint protection by Car Detail Empire in August 2022.
