Retro hot hatches are awesome and this is the ultimate in eco friendly recycling!. Today’s car design is quite homogenous in this category they could learn something from this design.
Fabulous Lancia,my best friend had a Lancia HF Martini turbo in the early 90's . Was a fantastic car ,felt quick for it's day . When the bodyshell gave up he put the engine into a Westfield 7 ,omg the acceleration was insane with the power to weight ratio. super video Ben , loved watching it.
@@BenCollinsDrives I think a video up against a GR Yaris ( you driving both) would be good to see, currently own a GR, fantastic cars, be interesting to see the results as they seem closely matched
Is it weird if my favourite part is watching the shampoo go on...? Love the track, love the car & old school engineering. In the old 911 vs new 911 film we did on DRIVE TRIBE, the new Porsche took a big dump on my older 997 Turbo. I'm not so sure the same would happen with the Lancia - but then again hot hatch tech has evolved a lot too. But I still prefer this era if for no other reason than the leather seats make you feel like a rock star. And the crackle from the Lancia engine just makes you smile. here's the 911 showdown over on DT th-cam.com/video/Qc7FpaTEAyY/w-d-xo.html
It's a, smiles for miles car. Watching her, I mean it. Get lathered up, is not just a, you thing. We are of a similar age and continuation. I'm envious of, and pleased for you. At the same time. Cracking car, well done. Not sure how it would hold up against the "modern" Scooby or FQ. That said. It would be interesting to see!
Hoi Ben, get a new editor. Accelerating sound while braking into a corner. Going flat out on the straight with the sound of braking into a corner. This incongruence between what we see and what we hear hurts the brain. Very nervous drone shorts totally don't work, especially when the engine sound is different to what you see. Maybe ask Chris Harris for the name of his editor. This is unwatchable. Same mistakes as your latest Ferrari vid. I think this is a shame because you have good content.
For most of us watching this video Lancia Delta integrale is our childhood dream car!!!Thank you very much for the content!!!Absolutely enjoyed it!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The car looks sensational, Ben. The metallic black with anthracite wheels is the perfect stealthy spec. Still an absolute machine all these years later. My first memory of an Integrale was when I was ten years old, living in a very rural part of the Peak District. We lived on a twisty single track lane with plenty of little bumps and changes in camber. One day a grey Integrale came screaming past the house followed by a loud clatter and bang. I just remember walking up the road to be met by an Integrale, very slowly spinning on its roof in the middle of the lane, with a guy climbing out the window. That's a wild sight for a young lad and I've loved them ever since!
Listening to the Stig, the O.G. Ben Collins himself thrashing the arse of this poor innocent Delta fresh from a complete restoration and newly built engine, instantly diagnosing the problems and deciding the solutions was a very satisfying experience I must say
It is a pleasure to watch Ben put such an awesome car through it's paces on the track. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. This one, and the video when Ben took the Atom around the TG track and wrung every last ounce of performance out of it. Both are in my favourites list.
Dear Ben. I've been a massive car and bike fan all my life, adored watching you work on T.G and now your own channel. I'm a big fan of rally from back in the day (52 now, how time flies!) and did a rally course in Wales years ago. So, I think you can guess what's coming next! The Lancia Delta, the 037, Audi Quattro, Toyota Celica, Subaru Impreza (was lucky enough to be super close to the courses back in those day and saw Colin, Carlos and other rally gods racing a good few times in the UK, Wales etc) Mitsi' Evo of the 80's and 90's. Of course, including today's seemingly physics defying rally cars! However, I've always wanted to drive the beauty that you've got here, and what a colour! I can't wait to see the final results and track day with all the set up finished and maybe see a little bit of drifting from that gorgeous car?! Really pleased I found your channel, and I'll be going through all your incredible videos. I must say that the audio wasn't great, so a closer mic' when reporting in the cars would be superb, as I don't like to miss a thing regarding your comments on the vehicles. Thanks for all the entertainment as 'The Stig', truly a phenomenal driver. Speaking of phenomenal drivers. May I be so bold, as to ask you to have a quick look at my friends son's TH-cam Channel who I've personally known since he was about 5 or 6yrs old. He's a truly great young driver, who has just got sponsored and his track day at Spa blew my mind, I hope it does for you too! To me his lines are sublime and his talent is yet to be truly discovered. On his first times racing on UK circuits the marshals took his car apart twice, as they thought he was cheating, he was that good as a complete novice. They found that is was just his natural talent! Love the channel, so I'm going to go back to watching more of your superb videos. Kind regards Wendy www.youtube.com/@dalewherton14 - His channel. Track Day at Spa, that blew my mind. th-cam.com/video/_of1oY2yMks/w-d-xo.html
It’s very easy to rate a car & more importantly appreciate that since Group A era NOTHING has come close & neither will. I think one would agree 80’s/90’s era was very special in automation, manufacturer’s were on fire & it was a very special time. Car pedigree in competition Style Age (in current era) Demand Quantity built/survive IMO the Delta Integrale is by far the best performance hot hatch, motorsport pedigree is amazing & the style of the car has aged beautifully. Group A certainly played part in its iconic history, take the Rs500 similarity in competition pedigree. The Delta Integrale is the most special hot hatch & HF history part is adding to the passion of the vehicle. Fantastic car wish I kept my one.
If I had the money,that’s what I would buy .Thanks Ben for your insight on the Lancia ,I have adored since sitting in one in the Paris car show in 1990!
Love what you've done to your Lancia Delta integrale Evo Ben! I own a 16v Delta integrale and recently did a restoration myself, full respray, interior repairs where needed etc etc. Engine rebuilt by Walkers (still running in!) I'm assuming TB gave you a discount for all the publicity your giving them, because all the items you have had done cost a fortune! Have you already or are you going to tell us the total outlay? Love your videos, you somehow manage to still exude the excitement of a schoolboy, out for his furst fast drive, even though you've driven so many great cars! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Great car Ben, it’s great to see someone like yourself get so much pleasure driving it. It must be something special to tick all your boxes! Put it up against an early Sti RA Impreza next! Let’s stay “ old school “
Yes , Lancia means High Fidelity ! I had 3 Beta , one Fulvia , a A112 and a Delta . It was 20 years ago but I am still faithful to the brand . Your Integrale is superb in all the ways !
I used to live on the edge of the Pembrey circuit until I moved to London in '86. Its improved a lot obviously, it used to be dead flat and the suface was in 20m poured sections. Subtle groundworks have raised banking now which gives you a clue where the next corner is. Those RAF nutters dive down below the tree line to repeatedly do practice attack runs. Lovely little car Ben don't let Hammond wreck it😁😁
one of my favourite cars ever, looks amazing. One of the reasons i purchased an Ioniq 5 actually, the only modern car that is somewhat a throwback to this visually. Epic... id trade a kidney for one of these though.
Glorious car -absolutely stunning well done Ben & team - personally my favourite car of similar type would be the Escort RS Cosworth- I’d love to do a similar project one day
Hi Ben, it may be worth getting it PPF’d it would at least mean you could get it on some dirt and have peace of mind that lovely paintwork isn’t being touched.
Exactly what I want to see is you being a hooligan in a Delta. Beautiful car that it is. Inline with you trying out gaming. My Delta in Gran Turismo 7 is more than a touch over a 1000 break lol. I’m having abit more trouble with it then you’ve had in yours
My father had a Lancia in the mid 50’s before I could appreciate it, he then moved on to a Humber Super snipe, I remember it as a huge lumbering beauty after the Lancia. Memories……… . 🦘👍🏼🇦🇺
This looks to be beautifully prepared nice to see it come together well on its first track run. One of your most enjoyable videos as it’s your own car (baby!) and a great build. I’d like to see you take out for a drive someone who used to rally these in period ideally in group N (or group A). Did Gwyndaff Evans or David Llewelyn or Jimmy McRae ever drive these when new ? If so would love to see them drive your car in the road and round somewhere tricky like Cadwell.
Awesome car, Ben! Your Lancia looks amazing at full chat through the corners, as it should be! Since I was in my teens (which was about 20 years ago) and I first saw a red Lancia Delta Integrale in person, I fell in love! It has and always will be my dream car! From all the Ferrari's Alfa Romeo's Maserati, you name it Lancia Delta Integrale in Monza Red with those wheels that you have in that colour, that is what my dream car will be one day! I'm so happy to see you get to drive your Lancia finally, and I can't wait to see more content from you with your Lancia! Definitely should let Mike try it, and possibly Richard. Would love to see a comparison with Subaru, Mistubishi, and the Lancia and see how they fair on the road that would be really cool to see.
Picked my mum up from work in one She was sat in the back She thought It was just an ordinary car Then I floored it off the mark Her head nearly touched the parcel shelf 😂
A stunning looking car, Tanc is the only man to go for if you are lucky enough to own one. I'd be interested to know what it's cost to get it to that level, whatever it was I'm sure it's worth every penny. 😁👌 Take it to Oulton Park but don't let Matt drive it! 🛑
When I was a kid my neighbor had a red one that I rode my bike past everyday on my way to the bus stop, I always gave it a good look over. Never saw it move or run though!
I too have a Lancia Delta Intergrale, unfortunately its a Tamiya 1/10th scale RC car....
Still pretty cool, tho!
I have Tomica 1/64…. ;)
I've got one, only in Sega Rally. 😭
its a start
Same 😂
It's so nice of the Stig to take his guest around the track in a reasonably priced car... 😁🤘
Whoever your drone pilot is they need a raise, those were some awesome shots!
Much appreciated!
There is nothing cooler than an old-school hot hatch, with new school tweaks. Enjoy this beauty, Ben, really mint mate.
'Eliminated all rust.' Having owned a Lancia, that's a statement not many can say. Beautiful car !
Retro hot hatches are awesome and this is the ultimate in eco friendly recycling!. Today’s car design is quite homogenous in this category they could learn something from this design.
Probably my most favorite car in the world. 😮
Close! It would be No2 after the Fulvia Coupé S3 fir me 😊
Beautifull car ! For me there is no other car so desirable as a Delta HF Integrale. It has caracter, beauty and performance.
Absolutely stunning, great job of the resto by the chaps at TB.
Many thanks!
Fabulous Lancia,my best friend had a Lancia HF Martini turbo in the early 90's . Was a fantastic car ,felt quick for it's day . When the bodyshell gave up he put the engine into a Westfield 7 ,omg the acceleration was insane with the power to weight ratio. super video Ben , loved watching it.

You and me both!

I never really fawn over cars, but that is one beautiful looking Lancia.
That's refreshing.. straight into the action and not a 3 minute long and boring intro first
Presumably you missed the advert then?🥱
Absolutely the dogs bollocks!
I'm not normally prone to jealousy, but seeing how sorted you have that car induces pangs!
"Have you found the imaginary brake pedal?" "No, uhm, I'm trying to brace myself!" 🤣🤣🤣

Be interesting to see it against an m140i (no xdrive)
It's a, smiles for miles car. Watching her, I mean it. Get lathered up, is not just a, you thing.
We are of a similar age and continuation. I'm envious of, and pleased for you. At the same time.
Cracking car, well done.
Not sure how it would hold up against the "modern" Scooby or FQ. That said. It would be interesting to see!

My first memory of an Integrale was when I was ten years old, living in a very rural part of the Peak District. We lived on a twisty single track lane with plenty of little bumps and changes in camber. One day a grey Integrale came screaming past the house followed by a loud clatter and bang.

Oh yeah! It's finally here. More Delta Integrale vids please, more Lancia vids please ! :D

when i fitted 4 pots to my 8v , they needed allot more bedding in than i estimated. After 200khms they respond balanced.
Such a well done restomod! And Ben not holding back on its first shakedown 👌
lovely job…. i was happy with my 16v … but ive now got EVO Envy!
Much respect to the camera man and director. Also, beautiful car. Gj

Anyone else just look past the Evos to the grey 16V? just utterly perfect in my eyes.
You made amazing car :)
That's a proper job
Great car Ben, it’s great to see someone like yourself get so much pleasure driving it.
It must be something special to tick all your boxes!
Put it up against an early Sti RA Impreza next!
Let’s stay “ old school “
This might be my favorite car of all time.
Awesome video....
Integrale the GOAT....
Maybe take it to Mallory park. Castle Coombe or even MIRA
Looks so immediate the way it turns in and that throaty rasp from the exhaust 👌
Beautiful car Ben! Amazing!
I just discovered your channel. Subscribed and looking forward to browsing the content.
Welcome aboard!
what a beautiful choice, good job Ben!

Car of dreams.
Tell you what mate, that is stunning. Your are indeed a very very lucky man with impeccable taste
Thank you kindly
Done a cracking job bringing the car back to life, you went to the best bloke ( tannc Barratt) really does know these cars inside out top man.
The Delta would be awesome on Blakey Ridge in North Yorkshire. Stunning road and car

Love Lancia's. Had a couple of Beta's. You've got to take it on a road trip to Italy I reckon. Through the Alps would be amazing in a Integrale.
Alps would be mega
Had a Beta and Delta Turbos. Great restoration and I hope it gets driven a lot.
What a car. It looks amazing. Cadwell Park next.

Wow Ben 😮 thats a stunning car! Those wheels are just perfection !!
Gorgeous iconic one of a kind.. frigging awesome ❤❤❤
Booyakasha! Big up Mr. Ben. Classy stuff as usual.
Appreciated
Ben, I love your car and it is great to see you in your own shiny metal, when we normally see you driving other people's.
Glad you enjoy it!

That integrale is beautiful, a mint example,
Now Ben Collins, time to put her sideways in the corners!
Full send and 4-wheel slide!
Hi Ben, it may be worth getting it PPF’d it would at least mean you could get it on some dirt and have peace of mind that lovely paintwork isn’t being touched.
I love the sound of Ben's car it's a a mechanical Oria that sounds so beautiful
Great work Ben
Glad you enjoyed it
I think that Tiff Needell would have already flicked the car sideways on the first lap😁
trust me I tried - tried the handbrake too and she wasn't having any of it - I'll be dialling in a "dab of oppo" for the next mission
Lovely build ,
Pembrey - only 40 miles from a 430 BHP group A Integrale , and a selection of Group A 400 + BHP Mitsubishi evo’s , 👍
Such a beautiful car, only achievable by me in Gran Tourismo.........but still great fun.
Cracking car, great track !
Oh yes been waiting for this 👌🏻
The green hell with Misha might be cool Ben.
Congrats on getting the Integrale sorted...looks very sharp!
Thanks 👍
I think you 100% need to cash-in on the fact that Jeremy is promoting his pub. And take a trip down there to meet-him. As this IS his kind of car!
Exactly what I want to see is you being a hooligan in a Delta. Beautiful car that it is. Inline with you trying out gaming. My Delta in Gran Turismo 7 is more than a touch over a 1000 break lol. I’m having abit more trouble with it then you’ve had in yours
Also in essence of the S4 why haven’t you supercharged it to boost while waiting on the turbo?
NC500 with the Lancia, Evo and Suberu
A showdown against Izzy Hammonds race Mini could be interesting!
A greaat car own by a 100% good guy, I love Deltas

One of your most enjoyable videos as it’s your own car (baby!) and a great build.
I’d like to see you take out for a drive someone who used to rally these in period ideally in group N (or group A). Did Gwyndaff Evans or David Llewelyn or Jimmy McRae ever drive these when new ? If so would love to see them drive your car in the road and round somewhere tricky like Cadwell.
Congratulations Ben. You deserve to live your dreams mate. The car is magnificent.

I’m going to badger Cosmo like mad ! 🤣
I would love to see your Lancia against Richard Hammond's Subaru. That would be a great challenge.
Fantastic
Thanks
Picked my mum up from work in one
She was sat in the back
She thought It was just an ordinary car
Then I floored it off the mark
Her head nearly touched the parcel shelf 😂
That made me lol😂
Would love to see her up in Brecon or other roads in mid Wales just like the rally. Perfect for her up in the forest roads!
heard a few up there on many a night!
Watches these racing in Madeira in 1991, great on the hairpins out there.
I love a hot hatch. My family think that it's crazy.
Amazing car, amazing driver
A stunning looking car, Tanc is the only man to go for if you are lucky enough to own one. I'd be interested to know what it's cost to get it to that level, whatever it was I'm sure it's worth every penny. 😁👌 Take it to Oulton Park but don't let Matt drive it! 🛑
My friend Kappa has some really nice ones
When I was a kid my neighbor had a red one that I rode my bike past everyday on my way to the bus stop, I always gave it a good look over. Never saw it move or run though!
