@@seenthroughglass Hey Sam you should check out Carteroni out of New Zealand if you want an 037. They really are the cat's pajamas and have over twice the torsional rigidity of the team works cars from the day.
@@johnstuckaiii Good idea, Carteroni are great. Alans making number "005" I think at the moment, their replicas are amazingly accurate and faithful to the originals.
I don’t comment often on TH-cam but I’ve just got to say, Sam, these videos are just brilliant. Your personality just comes across really well and for us viewers it makes it feel like we’re actually there with you. Keep up the good work sir!
I think Lancia was such a special brand. This, the Stratos and the Delta Integrale all defined a generation of rally bred sportscars that we'll never see again!
And Delta Stradale/S4 ;) Really hope we'll see some again, I mean we sort of are, with the new GR Yaris that's rally bred in Finland by the Gazoo Racing Rally team run/owned by Tommi Mäkinen.
And the Fulvia HF which went on to be a giant killer with the least perfect powertrain layout but that worked brilliantly in a way that only Lancia could make 😍😎
As some already mentioned, look for an Alfa GTV6. Great, quirky Italian master piece, with an engine to die for. And still quite affordable, but not for long....
It doesn't matter what car manufacturer you choose to own your car from,i just wanna see that utter crazy happiness you have within you,when you'll drive it!
Stradle is one of my favourite cars ever thou i never saw one in real life. I just love the look and the sound . It reminds me of the old group b races
I had a montecarlo ( 10 yo ) and an Integrale ( new ) so this is the video for me ! Wonderful machines, they were even special when they were new and absolutely wonderful today
The Italian element in this car is everything not just the bad parts ... but anyway you should consider the Lancia Delta HF Integrale, is definitely cheaper still beautiful and more daily drive focused, meaning without the parts that you mentioned as difficult to live with. Also in black is just gorgeous!!!
The older Lancias are so damn gorgeous, simple n analogue! Absolutely love em! Sadly the good examples r astronomical in terms of value n end up being sat lookin pretty in some collector's garage puttin on 200ft on the odo every year. Love what Automobili Amos is doin now
@@seenthroughglass I have a cheaper version of my dream garage at the moment. 2012 500 Abarth Esseesse, 1979 Fiat 131 2000 Sport and a mint condition low mileage 1992 Fiat Uno Turbo. Love your channel BTW. Have been sub'ed since your Bipost Record days 😉👍
There is a company in the north of England that will carry out a conversion on a monty,a full 037 build would be a great for your channel and way less than a real one.win win
You should make a video describing all your favorite cars and for what reasons, along with your styles in everything from clothing to architecture to art and ask your viewers to comment what car they think fits your soul. I think it would be equally gratifying for both parties to participate in lol
@@Mexxx65 Nooooo...you're not! Sorry, David B. and Mac, other than the centre section of the body that is almost the same in appearance to the Monte Carlo, they have nothing in common. The Monte Carlo is a mid-engined Lancia Beta and, in truth, was never much good to drive (a lot of problems with front brakes locking up too easily). The 037 is a different league in every way.
I would love to see a well done modern version of this, it has all the lines to make one of the best looking retro cars out there... That thing is gorgeous.
Haven’t seen the video yet and already clicked like. I mean the 037 is one of the Lancia greatest, arguably the coolest brand in the World, and it might well be the coolest rally car ever 😎 Awesome stuff 😍
This car is basically the reason why I want an Alfa 4C to rip around my local tracks, also because there's no getting an Alpine A110 in Canada until at least 2032. Edit: I think you should go try a 1965 Mustang GT350 or a 1969 Camaro Z28.
Been enjoying your content recently Sam. I think your interests in cars lines up with mine and your attitude is refreshing compared to other auto youtubers
Anyone who thinks the 037 is "unloved" or "forgotten".....has water on the brain....easily the most badassed Rally cars in history.....driving it must feel like Gwyneth Paltrows awesome butt.....with a wheel attached to her.
This is a dream car. Its so special. "forgotten"? I think those who know, would never forget this car, hence the £500k these have been going for. And no, apart from the paint, it looks very different to the Evora. ;)
Build a Monte-Carlo with Delta Integrale headlights! You can swap engine and upgrade brakes and suspension and you actually have a baby 037 with good perf and impressive handling
@@peterhandke3936 That's why I didn't suggest to build a 037 replica but just enhance a Monte-Carlo! This way, you have a really fun and relatively cheap car with some inspiration of the 037 without paying the full price!
As much as I live the thought of a Lancia comeback I really hope that it’s not through one of the big players. They’ll ask for volume and high profit margins which will make it mainstream. Oh wait, that’s what kill the brand... 🥴 Lancia needs to be special and Unique 😉👍
One the best looking front ends in my opinion. Don't know what it is, but it's just so sexy in my eyes. It's weird because it's kinda boxy, and doesn't even have "sportscar" lines, but I can't take my eyes of it 😍
I think we'd all just love to finally see you in a classic car, regardless of brand nationality, it's a pity you were out bid on the Alfa. Loving the variety of cars your driving on your channel lately, really refreshing!
i really hope lancia comes back... how such an awesome car brand that used to produce absolute rally monster has come down to only selling a , well basically a fiat 500... i really hope fiat will make this happen.... bring lancia back , bring a new delta integrale that looks like the 80's one ( my dreamcar) , make a new rwd 2 seater sportscar , and show skoda and citroen again who is the boss in rally :)
Yes the iconic rallying brand is LANCIA I’ve bought 2 deltas since a couple of years since it disappeared...sad news Hope those cars will revive in the future
Awesome car Sam, I hope you buy something like this which has some interesting history. And it's good to see somebody buying older cars as I am also a fan of the cars made from 1980-2010.
An amazing chance to drive to their website and its down for maintenance. I'm a Brit living in Switzerland and would love to know more about this company!
Do a collab with Harry’s Garage for your classic car search, he’s got plenty to check out.
that's a superb idea mate. Hope Sam goes that path
It would be a clash between a cartoon character and a real person tho!
Always thought that would be an awesome collab!!!!!!
Yea, that wash a briliant idea👍
Jesus, please yesss

Keeping my eyes peeled!

I can't imagine any petrol head who wouldn't want to have a go in one of these 037 Stradales, I mean srsly, what an icon!

When my fave TH-cam creator gets in my favourite car, you know its going to be a killer video.
Hope it didnt disappoint

Saw a 037 driving in my rural town in the US. life complete
Oh yes the O37 what a car , well done as usual
1 dislike : Archie Hamilton.
Sunday has just got a lot better!
Ha, thanks!
Stradle is one of my favourite cars ever thou i never saw one in real life. I just love the look and the sound . It reminds me of the old group b races
Best Sunday morning routine, cold coffee, some scrambled eggs, and an STG Video. Day Made
My favorite car! Happy days!

Definitely try a Fulvia. The amount of people who raise a smile, thumbs up and talk me about mine is a real joy.
Dude that is my ultimate dream car! Next to that a Lancia S4 stradale, and next to that a Fiat 131 Abarth Stradale! Ultimate garage for me!
131 Stradale is right up there for me!

Such a beautiful car, always reminds me of the beautifullest car ever, the 288 GTO.

There is a company in the north of England that will carry out a conversion on a monty,a full 037 build would be a great for your channel and way less than a real one.win win
Get yourself one of the later Integrales - I owned one 20 years ago and wish I still had it - also very practical!
Good to know
Great car, the sort of car that will never be made again.
Wow, one of my all time favourite cars, genuinely legendary, yes please
Pity about the Alfa but don’t give up on it. Keep looking, a true beautiful classic.
I love the little Abarth scorpion on the steering wheel
Man i love this car and i want to buy it when i get older.
The full on rally ones sounded the absolute nuts
Watching this on the train to Geneva! Sadly not gonna stay at the four seasons.
Pumped for this series! So many modern cars on TH-cam it would be great to see a classic make its way to the STG channel!
The Integrale Evo is my dream car. Great content Sam, keep it up.
Wow that 037 makes the Evora look big!
Crazy right
037 would be so cool and unique

Speak to Harry Medcalfe in regards to the Fulvia 👍🏻
OMG that Lancia looks AMAZING
Best car content around right now. Congrats Sam on your current direction, I love it.
Such an iconic car
It’s great to see classic cars on the channel Sam.
The best car you have ever presented on your Chanel. It's the first time I'm a bit jealous I have to admit.
hes not worthy enough
can't get a cheaper version Sam
The 037 is based on the Lancia Beta MonteCarlo
Yep, yoooooooure right!

Seen Through Glass No problem!
I would sell my soul to get an 037
Stepping up your game with the classic car theme!! Nice vid. Thx
Manual and no power steering is wear the real driving fun begins ,love the content ✨✨🔥
Good to see you wearing the Speedy again fella👍👍👍
Mmmmmm, the 037 was great but the 038 is my classic car dream, they cost an absolute mint though🙈
This video has made my day!♥️
Awesome!
That Alfa is genuinely my dream car alongside a 430 Scud.
That's the Best Rally Car EVER. It's the Pooches bits..!!!
Haven’t seen the video yet and already clicked like. I mean the 037 is one of the Lancia greatest, arguably the coolest brand in the World, and it might well be the coolest rally car ever 😎
Awesome stuff 😍
Omg i loooove the 037
you and the guys from car throttle should be on top gear, id watch that
This car is basically the reason why I want an Alfa 4C to rip around my local tracks, also because there's no getting an Alpine A110 in Canada until at least 2032. Edit: I think you should go try a 1965 Mustang GT350 or a 1969 Camaro Z28.

Anyone who thinks the 037 is "unloved" or "forgotten".....has water on the brain....easily the most badassed Rally cars in history.....driving it must feel like Gwyneth Paltrows awesome butt.....with a wheel attached to her.
Love how your shirt is coordinated with the sky and window frame combination. Very stylistic!
I think it's beautiful, has some F40 vibes from the side but this would be a great piece of motoring history and a piece of practical art too.
Your videos are the best! Great cars, great commentary, great views on views!!!
This is a dream car. Its so special. "forgotten"? I think those who know, would never forget this car, hence the £500k these have been going for. And no, apart from the paint, it looks very different to the Evora. ;)
Build a Monte-Carlo with Delta Integrale headlights! You can swap engine and upgrade brakes and suspension and you actually have a baby 037 with good perf and impressive handling
Not that simple, buddy... Almost nothing is left of the Montecarlo, when you do a 037 conversion.
@@peterhandke3936 That's why I didn't suggest to build a 037 replica but just enhance a Monte-Carlo! This way, you have a really fun and relatively cheap car with some inspiration of the 037 without paying the full price!
Lovely car. Don't forget the French were also big in group b.
As much as I love the Lancia and Audi cars of Group B. The Peugeot T16 was something else. Incredible little car.
Definitely go Brit Sam, Lotus Cortina? Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, Escort Mexico or RS200... loads to choose from...
I would love to see one of the bigger companies buy the Lancia marque and make high-end unique performance cars again... Please?!
As much as I live the thought of a Lancia comeback I really hope that it’s not through one of the big players. They’ll ask for volume and high profit margins which will make it mainstream. Oh wait, that’s what kill the brand... 🥴
Lancia needs to be special and Unique 😉👍
Big like! Great car I follow you for years and happy you look for classic Italians
The monte IS a much loved car btw!
The 037 Stradale IS the sexiest car ever made. There is no comparison.
If Archie wrote your video's title it would be, "my lancia 037 stradale"
No! It’d be, ‘I swapped my lotus for a crazy lancia!’
@@boostedandbolted6890lol. i like it 👌 you topped me.
love it - another piece of great content Sam! Best thing on TH-cam.
Greatest lancia made, what a crazy machine, the monte carlo might be in your budget!

We never had a big Lancia presence here in the US, but I remember seeing a Scorpion around in the 1980's. I always liked the looks of the BMW 3.0 CS
Viewing the image at 7:31 of the video reminded me a bit of a mako shark with the length of its front end. What an interesting car!
This, Integrale Evo, Fiat 131 Abarth Stradale.
My classic 3 car garage. Then I woke up.
Nice

Got to be a junior 😍
Perhaps have a look at the Lancia Beta Monte Carlo as that was a car I lusted after as a youth but could not afford.
Yes the iconic rallying brand is LANCIA
I’ve bought 2 deltas since a couple of years since it disappeared...sad news
Hope those cars will revive in the future
Weight Lancia 037: about 960 kg (a heap of straws and a bit of plastic)
Gorgeous
Definitely need a lancia
Awesome car Sam, I hope you buy something like this which has some interesting history.
And it's good to see somebody buying older cars as I am also a fan of the cars made from 1980-2010.
Great content again
Great video Sam.

Lovely video again !! Top work 👍🏽👏🏽
How about a TVR? I don’t think I’ve seen you post a video about that marque yet.
Lancia 037 is a masterpiece
I mean i would love to buy it but sadly ill never have a chance to buy it
My girlfriend loves that lamp on the table at the hotel 😄
stunning thing the 037
