vehicle description:

Few cars encapsulate the drama and excitement of World Championship rallying more effectively than the Group A Lancia Delta HF Integrale. From its introduction as a replacement for the Group B cars in the 1987 WRC to the final year of competition in 1993, the Lancia Delta reigned supreme, taking 46 world championship rally wins, and claiming the constructor’s championship for Lancia a record six times back to back.
Four driver’s titles went to Delta pilots - two for Juha Kankkunen and two for Miki Biasion – with WRC legends Didier Auriol and Markku Alén also taking wins for the Lancia works team. When Lancia management decided to withdraw from WRC in 1991, they handed the Delta’s reins to an Italian squad: the historic ‘Jolly Club’. Famous for its association with the Group B Lancia 037s in Titop livery, Jolly Club would run the Delta in its ultimate incarnation: Integrale Evolution.
The Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione made its debut on the 1992 Monte Carlo Rally. Featuring a stiffer chassis, wider wheel arches, bigger wheels and brakes, improved suspension and aerodynamics and a more powerful engine, the Evoluzione was a big step up on the model it replaced. In 1993, Carlos Sainz and long time co-driver Luis Moya came to the Lancia team. The partnership created a legend: the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione Repsol.
Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione ‘Jolly Club’ Recreation
Built from a well preserved Delta Integrale imported into the UK in 2000, the car seen here is an almost perfect reproduction of the Jolly Club Repsol Integrale rallied by Sainz and Moya for the 1993 WRC season. Constructed using many rare and original works parts, and finished in a perfect reproduction paint scheme (not vinyl) measured from El Matador’s original works car, this Delta is guaranteed to stop traffic wherever it arrives.
This car is not all about show: it has more than enough go to underscore its visual impact. The full Group A engine with correct Abarth intercooler and airbox produces 400 bhp, controlled by a MoTeC M800 ECU through a choice of maps. Twin master cylinders manage Alcon brakes with a dash-mounted adjuster and hydraulic handbrake.
The myriad works parts used on this Delta include everything from the fuel tank and works rear firewall, alloy radiator and Abarth heater box to the Abarth roof vent: even the spare wheel clamp is a Lancia works item. Kevlar sump and diff guards are fitted, with original Speedline wheels carrying carbon brake cooling discs. A carbon dash panel with digital display also features an Abarth boost gauge.
Sitting in the driver’s seat, one is surrounded by period detail. Custom-made replica seats with Sabelt harnesses continue the Repsol theme, while the rainbow door cards and manual window regulators are correct for the Delta’s lightweight doors. A Terratrip navigation system is installed, with full intercom and fire suppression systems. A detachable Momo steering wheel, push button start and emergency cut off switches are also fitted.
From the works lamp pod to the tubular diff carrier and the UK ‘Torino’-style registration number, this painstaking Jolly Club Delta replica has taken more than three years to build, with no expense spared. The Integrale is an approved participant in Italian Historic Lancia Club events and was signed at one such event by Markku Alén.
This exceptional Group A Integrale Evolution replica would be perfect for the growing number of rally tribute events, such as San Marino Rallylegend, Eifel Rally or Slowly Sideways gatherings. While the car does not currently hold an FIA HTP or MSA Logbook, it would be possible to bring the Integrale to this logical conclusion by incorporating a number of changes, rendering it eligible for FIA historic events of the future.
