    I've never understood why people fill a garage with exotic cars but never use them other than to look at in theirgarage? Each to there own, if that's what they want to do, but we never get to see them being driven, which surely is the point of having exotic cars? To be seen in. As you say, Harry and Chris drive the cars they have.

Then out of nowhere, I heard something bombing down the B road nearby. It was a burgandy 16v Evo. Never forgotten the sound to this day. I jumped back into my trusty 205 gti and struggled to wipe the smile of my face on the way home. Awesome car. The ultimate 80's rally hot hatch. Very jealous!

    Well done Chris. I had a Black F Reg 8v Integrale for 3yrs in 1998. It was around 5k then & loved it. Would love to have another, but also get worried about rust issues etc, as can be expensive to sort. So, love what you're doing about just driving it & not concerned that it's not a show car etc, life is short, but I do think this mindset is also helped by available money you obviously have, that can give a more blasse attitude with cars. For people where 15k is a more noticeable amount to spend, then it's harder for them to not worry about it. Still great video, & good job in getting out there & using it, would love to see more videos on this car please.

    Thanks for this Chris, I bought my first Delta 1300lx when I was 18, breathed on with loads of HF turbo bits. I took a job I really didn't want so I could afford and 8v integrale, which I really wanted. After a highlift cam, BWE chip and boost controller it was very quick. Presently restoring my old evo2 which I daily drove until it died. We have more cars now but the integrale has its own room in the house and I just love it but it will not only be a garage queen, but also a piece of art to look from my Scottish room drinking alcohol only going out for dry days and pampering. Yes its bad but I've wasted so much money daily driving them. The bonnet is not 16v, as with the wheels, they were standard spec on the 8v Cat so please leave them both alone.

    Love it! I went to buy a Delta 1600GT when I was 18 or 19. In silver with a steel factory, sunroof, it looked the dog’s. My first car was a SuperStrada with the X19 engine, on which the Delta was based. First junction, had to go from 2nd to 1st, still rolling. Crunch. ‘Sorry. I can’t live with that again’. All Fiats and Lancias did that due to a cable clutch 🥲

    I had an EVO 2 until recently. One of the garage queen models, as CH refers to. I sold it cos I was afraid to drive it, it was worth so much. And so much more than I paid for it. It got to the point where I thought every single mile I put on it would devalue it. Crazy, I know.

    I know that feeling. Owning a classic from the 90s and people are calling me crazy because I actually drive it even during the winter and use it as my daily. Yes, it will rust and I will have to fix it, yes it will loose its low mileage status but boo hoo, it will get marks from driving it... But still at times when I drive through the finnish salt covered roads (salt to prevent ice forming) I feel bad and think that I should have bought a worse example (mine is full original lowish mileage car with all the paperwork, museum registered etc).

    Chris needs to swap or ecu mod to boost above 1bar set limit. Mine runs 1.2 to 1.3 bar with around 280bhp with 480cc injectors, just enough more is plenty. Also I fitted td05 twin scroll turbo from evo 4 and 2.5” with screamer pipe optional , much faster boost and less lag on exact same car . Replace fuel pump etc. 5sec to 60 is no problem . And beat JCW mini 2019 and dads E350 gps confirmed .

    Sensational. Perfect colour / wheel / interior combo. I was 16 when the integrale was launched, and loved watching it on Top Gear Rally Report / going to the RAC and seeing them pass by in the Dalby forest woodyard (on the occasions that the works team bothered to attend the RAC!), then wandering into Martin Walter Lancia in Canterbury and looking at a humble Delta. Autocar ran an 8 valve long termer and put it up for sale in 1993 (I think) ..... £3,800 and 100k miles ...... I thought about it, but passed. Big mistake. An absolute poster pin up car. Think I'll go and rewatch some Markku Alen videos, ragging it with flying elbows!

    Bought a brand new 8v from Germany in 1990 with help from Willie Green (classic race driver), think it was £17k, drove it back overnight and straight to Mike Spence Motorsport for a 300bhp, £3000 conversion. Drove it every day for four years over about 50k miles. Loved every minute. Willie bought it back from me and ran it as his every day car for years. What a great car. Loved your video Chris

    The thing with an old Italian car is you will have every warning light under the sun come up at you but it will always get you home. A Christmas tree dash is a small price to pay for the smile you will have on your face every time you drive the car or even so much as look at it. It's that magic that you can only really get from an Alfa or a Lancia.
