This maybe difficult. What is a car like that worth in the United States if it is "legal" to drive on the road? I know that they aren't too expensive in Italy, but being that it somehow can make a trip to the US, it must add "value" aka expense.
Great question Martin. I saw one here in NY on the Parkway-it was red and had either Vermont or New Hampshire plates on it. Followed it for a few miles but I had to exit. Always wondered about the EPA/DOT expense. The cars themselves are not outrageously expensive. Can anyone here on the board chime in with a ballpark cost?
As I mentioned in the other thread, there was never an EVO3 from the factory. Some countries re-branded it as an EVO3 but its really an 8v cat Evo1.
Actually is a bit more complicated than that. It is true that there were only 2 16v Evos, and that the other one was an 8v version. The problem is that at the time the EVO II was introduced, the car was not legal on some countries and in those and Lancia introduced an Evo8vkat, that was called in those places the EVO 2. So you have 16v and 8v EVO 2 cars, depending on the market. Some call EVO 3 to the last evolution of the 16v and some call it to the 8v version. So if you want to know which one you are purchasing, ask the owner and check the documentation as well as the car before you get a surprise. This site is from the Lancia Club in Spain The link is to FAQ page about the Delta Integrale in Spanish, but it is full of useful information on these cars. If you don't know Spanish, the links section has plenty of links to sites in Italian, English and German. - Julio.
There was a NY registered 8V for sale a few months ago. I've also seen one on Texas plates in boston a few years ago. There's a Thema 8.32 here in Chicago that I've seen a few times.
I'm trying to get one in the US for a long time. I used to own an EVO 16V in Europe and it was more fun than any other other car I ever drove...and I have been in many cars. An Evo 16V in the Rockies...what would I give for this ;O) Even better...the Martini Special Edition with Holzer kit...
When I was living in California I tried to get my Integrale in the USA. It was absolutely imposible in California. Mine was a white 16v non kat, but even the kat version will be a lot of trouble. - Julio.
Where do these US reg cars go on sale? I'm not sure if I'd get an Integrale, but something rare and imported would be great as a second or third car. Do they pop up on ebay now and again? Somehow I doubt I'll find one in autotrader
Hi, The Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evo III has NEVER existed. You only have : - 16V (200 bhp) - Evo I (210 bhp) - and finally Evo II (catalytic converter, 215 bhp). N.B : For some markets (Switzerland for instance), Lancia sold models equipped with a 8V engine (kat) producing 177 bhp. In some markets (Germany), the latests models (Evo II) were called "Sedici" as well. Here is a very interesting link relating the story of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale (limited editions) : http://www.autoitalie.com/viewtopic.php?t=67 Cheers

From what I understand one of the very first Integrale's in the US is actually registered as a Lancia Beta as it was and still is very difficult to get an Integrale into the UK. They are fabulous cars, but having run an Evo 1 and the 2nd generation Lancia Delta HPE HF (2WD drive, same engine) I can confirm running my Testarossa is way way cheaper. After 12yrs of ownership both Lancia's will be up for sale soon
Dear all, i worked here in Switzerland many years on these cars,since the beginning to be correct. Here in Switzerland the first Integrales had all 8V engine's with Kat. Then as the other countries received the Evo cars with 16 V engines(still without Kat !), we here in Switzerland,received this Evo with still the 8 V car - named by us in Switzerland as "EVO 2" (fitted with 15" wheels). As then the 16V engine arrived with Kat ,the Evo was named here in Switzerland as "EVO 3 " (16" wheels,and from that point all special version's arrived also here...Gialla,Blu Lagos ,etc..). hope that helps to understand why some say Evo 3 etc.. regards Ivo
Here is a photo of the Evo that started this thread. It is still in Chicago as far as I know, with under 10,000 kilometers on it. Tom Tanner/Scale Designs/Ferrari Expo 2011-Chicago April 2011 Image Unavailable, Please Login
I bet there are over 20 in the US. 2 factory rallycars on display in Vegas, a couple other rallycars imported by RoadSport (Ron Norton and Andy Smith), Jeff Denmeade, Mark Everett (the red one w/ VT tags spotted by classic308 in 2006 post above), another that shows at Maine Forest Rally, one in Baltimore MD, one a diplomat imported to DC and sold when leaving I considered buying, yellow in Chicago and I've seen at least 10 Craigs list ads including another in DC/MD suburbs. Probably more in Canada than US due to less stringent old car rules. Chuck Story has one in Ontario.
I'm not sure if you can count the rally cars as Lancia's on US streets ;O). But I still agree with you that there is about 20, but not many more in the US. In addition to your list: I know one in Houston, 2 Evos and one 16V in San Francisco, One in Miami, and 3 in Denver. 2 of the 3 in Denver are mine ;O). Actually, if I think about it, there might be less than 20, I'm monitoring the scene for years and really haven't seen many more pop up lately....
2 Deltas at Fiat Freak Out last year. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.142946395719964.27584.100000138131647
Yep, nice ones, but looks like Canada license plate. And they are not Evos ;O). I posted this in the other thread, but I only know of 4, maybe 5 US registered Evo's... Btw, the Evo 3 actually exists, sort of: Maggiore built one prototype only to convince Lancia to keep the production going. This car had violet paint, 240 horse and other mods. It was actually on sale a while ago for about 80k Euros...the only true Evo 3 :O)
I would love to purchase one of those! What a great car. Growing up in Europe in the late 80s and early 90s we used to see them on the streets all the time. It's hard to appreciate them unless you've see them in person or even better.. drove them. I remember the engine noise coming out of the exhaust was intoxicating!!!
