10k: Non Integrale: 1987 Lancia Delta HF AWD
We featured a sweet Lancia Delta HF Integrale a few weeks back, but it was located in the UK, importation was left as a problem for any bidders and it was pricey…but what if you could find another Lancia Delta HF located a few thousand miles closer for half the price but missing the Integrale 16V engine? Find this 1987 Lancia Delta HF AWD
for $12,800 or best offer via ebay, located in Quebec, Canada.
This Delta started out as a simple/plain HF AWD, but someone has added Integrale fender flares and a sweet Martini Racing paint scheme. The new owner is going to get a lot of attention from car guys and bewildered looks from others.
The Delta HF is powered by a 2.0 liter turbocharged 8-valve inline-4 that puts out 185 horsepower into a 5 speed manual gearbox and to all 4 wheels. The Delta AWD was equipped with an open front end, torque-splitting Ferguson viscous-coupling-controlled epicyclic central differential in the middle and a torsen style rear limited slip diff.
The Delta was an economy car and the interior seems to remind its occupants at every occasion. It does feature a cool looking gauge set, but otherwise isn’t going to impress anybody.

Great reviews on these. Big flaw was disastrous launch timing, head-to-head against the new VW GTI, plus maybe a bit of "being a Lancia".
With this particular individual, the biggest flaw is the unicorn puke rainbow seat/door fabric. Someone went to some effort to make this car look like espresso corretto, then you get in and it's melted gelato.
Well, Kaibeezy, you really don't know your stuff. What we have here is an perfect example of how to ruin a beautiful design and a good car. Please google for photo's on "Delta HF4wd" and you'll sure see some nice original examples.
This one here is how it should look like when it left te factory.(except from the steering wheel then…)

Hey! I didn't say I *liked* the exterior either, only that they should have finished the job and swapped out the my-little-pony hides for something more sporting. Frankly, this car's angular lines beg for a strong solid color like black or red, and interior reasonably to match. Like this red over tan beauty. OK, it's an Integrale, but still.
Genuine cars always catch more money when for sale… I know the previous owner of that "dealer collection" in your link; it's indeed a proper car. We both attended the London to Brightin run back in 2005… Anyway: this HF4wd would justify it's price if it was in original condition, and not beefed up with cannibalised with parts of more evolved siblings. One of the big attractions of an HF4wd are it's totally innocent looks which make it an absolute factory build sleeper. Don't underestimate the performance of this little beast. Sensing the difference between a good HF4wd a integrale (or 16 valve or evo) takes some experience with these cars. In real life the perfomance difference between both isn't that big and noticable, unless your name is Biasion…
185 hp for only 2,600 lbs justifies the racy looks. THE BOX FLARES STAY.
Actually there was an 8v integrale.

you can also get a 8v integrale for almost half the price of this non integrale.
