    As an Lancia enthusiast l've owned an Integrale most of the time since 1996. The first was my only car at the time and l used it as a family car (two sons) and the only real problem was the size of the boot. I'm now fortunate enough to have my current 1990 16v as a fun car and l can think of nothing better to drive on the roads of my North Devon home. It's a 51,000 mile example with full history and no rust (except a small pimple that will be attended to round the o/s windscreen wiper) and is an absolute joy to drive. A few years ago l gained the confidence to feed in more power when it starts to slide and it is so much more assured and confidence bringing that the Impreza that is my daily driver. My Grale seems smaller and much more precise on the windy roads l drive and the acceleration is more than adequate to take advantage of the smallest overtaking opportunity. I've grown to regard left hand drive as an advantage on the lanes and if you can't see inside the vehicle you're trying to pass (especially good after left hand bends) the car is narrow enough to lean over in to get a right-hand -drive view. I change the oil (fully synth) every 3k miles and cam belt at 16k and have never had a major engine problem. Most parts are cheap and when something crops up that's expensive (eg fuel pump) l console myself with the thought it's a stunningly fast car and worth the outlay. The electrics are a joke with random warning lights coming on and various temporary failures - nothing to stop a journey though - and in a strange way it becomes part of the charm of the car. I have friends with Lotus Elise, 550 Marranello, M3, M5, TVR Cerbera, E-Type and when we tour l'm never left behind and never without some-one to talk to in the car park. It's not the cheapest form of transport, but it's special, increasingly unique and so, so worth it.

    If you can live with a left hand drive (doesn ' t take long to get used to) and don't mind being stared at a lot ,as long as you get a good one you should be o.k, engines are pretty bomb proof unless your running 500 bhp +. But this is a car that early ones are twenty years old so be prepared to spend the money to keep on road if you do this there is no better feeling than watching all from metro drivers to Ferrari drivers look and admire.

    The Lancia Delta is one of the best cars ever produced in the world. 6 consecutive World Rally Championships attest to that.
    The handling is amazing, the acceleration is blistering and as soon as you park it someone wants to talk to you about it.
    I've driven many high performance cars and quite a few integrales, and it's Lancia's little hatchback that gives me the greatest joy. If you get one, and treat it with respect, it'll make you smile everytime you drive it.

    This Lancia Delta Integrale 16v was my dream car when I was younger. 2 years ago I finally got my chance to own one and it ended up being an EVO 1 in red, complete with adjustable roof spoiler, 50,000 miles (80,000km) yellow elephant badge and wads of history - the previous owner imported it from Italy 5 years previous from auto Italia. When I first had a ride in it I was really impressed, but that was when being a passenger. Within a week of ownership the initial 'WOW' impression had gone and ...

    When people say 'how quick, or how well does a car handle' , words cannot describe the LDI's capabilities. For all of you out there who are sceptical about my claims, I challenge anyone out there with a standard production road car to stand up and be counted in a head-to-head, under all driving conditions...you'll be last !

    I'm 45. This car is stopping me growing old gracefully. I suppose demographics would suggest I ought to drive a Mercedes coupe or something similarly dull, but I've owned the car for 7 years and it still gives me a thrill every time I drive it.
    Despite the reputation of Italian cars from this era (1990), it has only ever left me stranded once, and has no rust despite not being garaged.
    In the wet, the car is almost untouchable (especially for its age), and derisory comments like it looks like ...
