Quality... everyone talks about why the older more analogue cars were special, but you're testing them... such a great idea, well delivered as always
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME James :-)
Being a Huge Rally fan,
This car is one of the 'Holy Grail' cars, and manufacturers, and growing up through the 70s-80's-90's and onwards these are such an icon, and as you said, No one has yet to ever match their manufacturers success through the years :-)
It's a car I always wished I'd owned,
Having gone through Mk1, 2,3,4 & Cosworth Escorts, Capri's, Sierra Cosworth's, Peugeot 205's, and on to the likes of Subaru WRX STI's :-)
And I really wished I'd picked one of these up way back when :-)
So Thank you so much for this content, and video :-)
It's an awesome video series, and really engaging to the audience :-)
Keep it up James,
You're doing an amazing job with ALL your content :-)
And a MASSIVE congratulations to you and the Mrs on your New life changing arrival :-)
Cheers,
Mark.
Up there with the swb Audi
Congrats on the baby boy MrJWW!! They're the best thing ever... Just enjoy every moment as time flies and they change so much in their first year... Its amazing.
Love the classics series. But a few facts about the Delta.
First introduced 1979 as a family hatch.
The Delta S4 introduced in 1985 at the last round of the WRC to compete in Group B, it was only related in name. It had a space frame chassis with 1759cc engine, mid mounted with supercharger and turbo. In 1986 due to accidents Group B was banned.
Needing a car to compete in 1987, that was based on a road variant, and having to build 5000 needed for the new regs of Group A. Lancia took the basic Delta hatch and added 4wd and a 2 litre turbo engine called the Delta HF 4wd.
After taking the championship in 1987, Lancia introduced the first Integrale at the 3rd round of the championship in 1988. The Integrale brought the iconic flared arches to the Delta, to allow bigger wheels, brakes and increased suspension travel. First as an 8v, then 16v, then the Evoluzione. The Delta taking 6 WRC constructors titles.
Just to add a bit of information to your post, in 1982 Lancia showed at the Turin Motor Show a Delta 1.6 liter turbo with 4wd, was a running prototype used to have a taste of the possible market, it was also tested by the press, however 4wd was very different from the 1986 Delta HF 4wd that got a 3 Torsen differential system derived from the S4 system.
Love this car so much! The Delta Integrale wasn't ever a Group B car though, the Delta S4 was derived from the 037 really, then when Group A replaced Group B, that's when Lancia rallied the Integrale.
And CONGRATS on the baby boy!
My comment was the same...
Yes it was. The delta s4 was a silhouette representation of the road going delta. Much like every other group b car was. The delta(tipo 83l) is what was the s4 and the delta hf intergrale was an update and a special version of the original delta so he is 100% correct.
@@aproductofboredom The Lancia Delta S4 Stradale was the homologation for the Group B regulations. James suggests the Delta Integrale was a Group B car, the S4 was the Group B car and a development from the 037. The S4 was somewhat turned into Delta Integrale HF to meet Group A regs, the car James is in
Peter Jennings Hi Peter FE did have 250HP.
@@andyintegrale where did you get this info? It is not mentioned by Peter Collins , Paul Baker or Werner Blattel..... all considered experts.? I have had my evo 2 for 16 years, as far as I know the only difference mechanically is the final edition springs and rear strut brace( i have the brace in my car, bought from the factory when the parts were being sold off)..... the club Italia had a different chip and produced more power depending on the original owners requirements, and the viola prototype, which had more power, 240 hp according to Werners book.... and he bought the viola from Maggiora who built it.
So it you say the Fe as an evo2 had more power than the evo2's still born successor I'm surprised... although it's Italy after all .... but the FE as far as I have ever researched is evo2... same management and turbo ... regards
Congratulations man great news on your baby boy 👌🏻 Impreza 22b and evo 6 tommi makinen should be on the list 👍🏼
Those two cars are legendary, they set the trend for the golf r's, focus rs's etc of today but unlike them they are proper driver's cars. The evo 8 fq400 is the one for me, still nothing quicker down a backroad than a sorted evo imo
That would amazing but the 22b is so rare (unsure about the eve tho)
22B, yes!
Totally agree! I was about to put the STi 22B. History and just awesomeness. Congratulations to Mr. JWW jr!
Totally !!!! I couldn't agree more !!! Both were amazing cars and still are to this day !!!!
Now you have done the Lancia delta you have to do the Escort cosworth.
I was just thinking of that, love that car
Yeeeeeesssssssss
Lmao, Escort wrc, the slowest rally car at the time.
It won eight events between 1993 and 1996 as a Group A car, and two more in World Rally Car guise in 1997-8@@Ytfrot
@@stuartxrp451 My all time favourite car!!!
Such an amazing review of this icon!
Congratulations to you and your wife on the birth of your son! Great choice on picking the Delta Integrale one of my all time favourites, this series really making me think how much better cars are when they are much less complicated 👍 Might I suggest a CLK63 AMG Black Series for the next Modern Classics video?
or a CLK DTM or maybe a CLK GTR (the unicorn).???
As an Italian, I can confirm. Every time a ''Deltone'' passes by, we get emotional
Lancia is still one of the most evocative names ever, hope FCA get there act together and stop putting this historic name of leather lined
Chrysler nd Fiat 500s.
A toned down version of the Futurista but by Lancia themselves would be so good
It's sad, but they basically killed the brand. An independent Italian one has done a modern version of the Stratos based on the Ferrari 488 platform though
@@delbroox isn't it based on a ferrari 430 ?
@@alexgherghiceanu2094 yes you're right! My mistake
First and foremost congratulations on your newly born son.
One of the best videos you have made down "memory lane". It takes one back to their younger years when we'd be lucky to even catch a glimpse of the iconic Lancia Delta Integrale on the road. I will never forget driving on the motorway on a dry day and seeing an Evo 2 sliding its rear tyres in 3rd gear in the utmost elegant style. What an amazing car alongside the Stratos. Just a pity that the company has not been a priority for its principles.
Next time round, it would be great to see you in an Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. That will be the video of the decade!
No school like the old school
And the Lancias the FU%KING HEADMASTER.
Check out Lancia Delta in Wikipedia to get the true story.
Delta was introduced in 1979 as a ”more luxurious Fiat Ritmo”.
The Integrale didn’t exist until 1988 when it replaced the Delta HF 4x4 in group A rallying. The Delta used in Group B 1985-86 was the entirely different, mid-engined, tubular-framed Delta S4. THAT one had 500+ hp.
The base Delta & Delta Integrale was built on the Fiat Ritmo/Strada-platform (no bad thing, mind).
And... that start-button is not oem-factory. :)
Start button is indeed oem fit for final edition cars....but the was not the only limited edition to be fitted with one.... similar was fitted in the dealer collection and the club Italia. There is quite alot of misinformation in this review.... FE is an evo2.... end of .... nice example but poorly researched.... enough books out there written by genuine experts Blattel, baker, trow... no excuse really..
s4 had over 600 hp as its top spec
@@Anttihii if you research it...... the proposed Grp S ECV and ECV2 experimental composite vehicle with the triflux engine was around 600 hp s4 grp B produced around 490hp......... the ecv1 was an evolution of the s4 although the supercharger was ditched in favour of twin turbos and charge coolers......the triflux head was new, totally different to stock Road or rally s4.
Markku Alén has said that when the S4 first came out, they had maybe 450-500hp. By the end, it probably had 700+.
@@vibingwithvinyl I have a video somewhere of Markku in 87 comparing the outgoing S4 with the hf4wd.... 500hp and 950kg s4 and then 250hp and 1250kg.. in his words it's like day and night I've only read about the ecv with that kind of hp.. road going s4 was certainly 250hp.
I used an Evo 2 Integrale as a daily driver for close to two years. Did nearly 20K miles in it. Sold it to change to a 993 4S in the end. Both had one advantage for UK driving that james touched on - size. 991 turbos, 4s or 4gts are technically better daily drivers, but in the narrow roads of Devon, the integrale and the 993 were betterin the real world because you can use more of the performance more of the time. They fit easily where those other cars become a handful.
I think 997s were peak B road blast cars for the UK. I appreciate whet newer stuff offers, but fitting the road adds so much to the confidence you have as a driver, and it seems to be ignored a lot of the time.
Great to hear some real world experience - thanks for sharing 👍🏻
@@MrJWW It needs a big budget, but as a forever car, a 997 4.0 RS is probably one of the very best options you can get.
I owned a winner red Evo1 for 6 years and did the best part of 60,000 miles in it! Back in the late 90's it was genuinely a fast car, and a good drive. But today, in all honestly, it'd be really not that great. Due to the mass distribution (open the bonnet at look!) they fundamentally understeer a lot under power(forget all those GrpA dreams of going everywhere looking out the side windows) and unfortunately, that can't be tuned out unless you stiffen the (jelly like) bodyshell with a full cage and forest plating pack. I tried everything on mine, including pretty radical rear suspension geo and even double rear arbs and never got it to handle properly.
On the flip side the car is impossible to park and walk away from without a backwards look, and renders even pretty special cars as invisible by it's shear presence of reputation (despite the road car nowhere near living up to that rep set by the highly mod'd rally cars). It's also a car that other drivers seem to respect. Unlike the later herd of 4wd turbo nutters (i'm looking at you scooby and evo boost heads!!) you get let out of junctions and get a friendly wave when you overtake!
Would i own another? Well maybe, but i'd want to strip it to a bare shell and carry out significant but subtle strengthening to the bodyshell, which given their prices these days would be a significant expense......
In the late nineties, my brother-in-law lent me his 16V Integrale for an hour and the experience of that drive will remain with me forever. The grip and poise of this thing was beyond belief and very intoxicating. In my 45 years of driving many fairly top-end cars, none can compare with this iconic machine.
Huge congratulations on the birth of your Son bud - Wishing the three of you all the best x
Would be epic if you did a back to back with that and the Audi Quattro (my dream car)
I have a photo of a few hundred final editions on the production line at the factory in Chivasso that I took back in 93 when I visited, Saw the Viola, a Lipstick Pink Evo and a Bronze/Aubergine Evo and more. Got taken around the test track in an Evo2, also went to Astra rally team the next day who had all the works spares and cars, then hitched a lift home in an HF4wd through the channel tunnel. Good times.. Have owned 5 Delta HF Turbo's, 2 x 16v Integrale's and a Silver Evo2. Been on a Lancia drought since moving to Australia! Great video, great memories, Thanks
I asked you to review one of these, and you delivered. Perfect! Keep up the excellent series.
One of my favorite classics.. I remember a friend of my father had one and took us for a ride.. that thing felt scarily fast.. I still remember it was the first time I saw alcantara seats
It's one of my favourite rally cars.
It's my favourite Italian product 🏆
Awesome Car! Harry Metcalf is a huge advocate of adding spacers to the steering wheels of modern classic Italian cars. It makes them more drivable. Congratulations on the arrival of JWW junior.
Congrats on the new Baby Boy! All the best. Hope mum and baby are healthy and well.
I think the Integrale was at the top of my nostalgia hit-list (a got a ride in one, back in 1993 - wow)... closely followed by the Merc 190E 2.3 Cosworth (or 2.6, I aoin't all that choosy).
Now get your hands on an original Toyota Supra, before the new one comes out.
Really loving this trip down memory lane! Keep it coming.
you just touched my nerve with that one ! I have a weakness for that specific car !!!! I drove it once and since then my body is asking to find another one !!!!
You won the internet for me today. Thanks!
Congratulations for having a newborn baby boy :) If he ever get a Lancia Integrale from you, that would be the best present I could ever imagine:)
Very well done, James! Thrilled you're putting these Modern Classic vids together, and CONGRATULATIONS to you and the wife on the birth of your son! Epic days!
Just found your channel. The Delta integrale is my favourite car...ever... I'm 21, never seen them racing, never seen them in the street. But the story and development behind it it's amazing. I'm particularly fond of cars from the 80's and 90's (again, even if I wasn't around back then). In fact my car is a 1996 Alfa 145 Cloverleaf, and I love it. There's something about modern cars, they lack personality, individuality. They are too sterile, they've been turned into appliances.
It's great to hear that you'll be introducing your son to older cars. Some cars feel "alive" even from the passenger seat, I'm pretty sure the Delta does.
Subscribed!
Really love the series! My suggestion would be if you could feature a Spyker C8
ewwww that was a seriously ugly car !!!!
First of all massive congratulations to you and your wife on the birth of your son!!!
Could you maybe test the Porsche 964 RS. Would love to hear from you how to old car compares to the newer GT 911's.
Congratulations James awesome news! In terms of your forever car and for this series....996 Turbo - still hugely fast today...old school Porsche feel and will do nothing but appreciate!
I seriously don't think that anything is going to beat this series this year, especially nothing about modern cars. The quality of these videos is so unbelievably high, and the cars are so cool...
Thank you James for bringing us this amazing content, best on TH-cam! And congratulations with the birth of your son. Still whish I could actually drive some of these cars though ;)
Congrats on the baby James !!!!!!
Congrats to you and your wife on the birth of your son and God bless!!!!
Modern classics is one of the best series on TH-cam!! Every car so far has been epic!
"you drive one of this through Italy, people bow down on the curb". You couldn't be more right! Bows and cheers from Italy
Love these classics & that colour👌
Omg one of my dream cars THANK YOU JAMES ♥
I've been in one of those and I can absolutely agree with what you were saying. They are not heavy at all, the power isn't the biggest number but it does deliver many smiles. The handling really is the best about that car. They are worth whatever they ask for them, as long as they work.
Congrats on the baby James! Loved the video. As a 90's kid, I never understood why Lancia had such a strong following, but this really gave some insight and it's truly remarkable.
Hoping to see you get your hands on an NSX Type-R at some point James.. Loving the content as always..
Awesome car absolutely love it. Great review as always JWW, wish I could review something like this on my channel but I've only seen one in person in the last 3 years! C'est la vie!
I always find it amazing when a new car is released which everyone is gushing over, yet within a couple of years, nobody talks about them anymore. It's like they have their 15 minuets of fame and that's it. There have been very few cars released since 2010 that we still gush over today. For me, a car becomes classic when it still has meaning decades after it's release.
Fantastic vid, had a lancia delta sadly only a 1.4 but put the biggest smile on my face! Felt like a king in it.
Congratulations on the birth of your little boy. He's a lucky little lad, looking forward to watching his TH-cam channel.
Peugeot S1 106 Rallye..
omg i was just about to comment this hahahaha im lucky enough to have driven my friends s1 106 rally on some tight twisty and flowy roads and its so much fun and carries so much speed through the corners. super involving to.
106 and 206 both amazing cars
@@stefanvukovic1815 206 is a hateful thing. Maybe you mean the 205?
@@adamwoodford7629 No i mean 206, car that dominated rally for couple of years
I own an Indigo Blue S2 Rallye, great little car!
Nostalgia!
The Lancia Delta Integrale Final Edition 👌🏻 being driven around the U.k roads. What a joy to watch your video of such a rare event. Very few I believe imported in the U.k. One was for sale on a well know auction site for 80k 😱. A true icon in the motoring world along with the highest respect to its Marque for its rally heritage. The Delta Intergrale was a Familiar site at the Porsche dealership I worked at back in the day. The owners backup vehicle of choice out of the fair weather session. Again testament to its point to point capability’s.
Mr JWW having reviewed the last of the Delta legend legacy in road going trim, it would be nice to review the start. The Lancia Delta S4 Stradale !
Ultimately the rarest of all road trim deltas. 1.8 Litre turbocharged & supercharged four cylinder. Massively detuned to 250 Bhp for the road. 200 Required to be built to satisfy the then Group B Homologation rules. Unconfirmed reports that the numbers were far less for all Group B road builds !
I believe as little as 2 exist currently in the U.k 🤔 One popped up at an auction in Italy with less than a 1000 miles on the clock !
They carry a price tag of £250,000 + so only for the fortunate few !
To finish on a car to keep forever from the 80 / 90’s. Wow such Choice. Lancia Thema 8.32, Fiat Strada Abarth 130 TC, Fiat Uno Turbo’ I.e, Audi RS2 Avant, Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth, Vauxhall Lotus Carlton, Porsche 959, Ferrari 288 GTO, Bmw M1. You can see my list is endless from mild to wild.
Such a fantastic time in motoring !
Oh God I can only imagine this will be a wonderful one James! The Delta is one of my favourite car ever, I had the fortune to ride shootgun in one with my father when I was a little boy and I can still remember it like it was yesterday!
Speaking of Lancia's, a Stratos would be great for this series :)
kasou01 That would be epic!
James you have to buy Carrera GT for your little boy...:)😍
poor littlle boy
hehe
I'm not a big rally fans but somehow when you explain this car's story it's really interesting and you've make me into this car so much!
Congratulation on your baby Boy James!!!! You will love the feeling of being of father, there is no greater feeling!!!! Love the Delta Integrale!!!
I would want to see a Diablo sv or 6.0 if it is possible
And my cousins had an Lancia and it was amazing to just see and drive even more
Absolutely lovely ! What about Lotus Esprit Turbo SE '89 ?
those monsters had V8 on ! Am I right ???
It was never in group b I’ve had one. Best car I’ve ever drove.
I don't understand why this channel does not have more suscribers....its absolutely one of the best out there. !!! Mind you 430k is nothing to laugh at but there should be way more. Anyways love the content!
Review an alfa 75 turbo evoluzione
or any V6 3.2 GTA
Can you review a NSX NA2 Type R? Or an S2000 would do :p
+1 on the NSX Type R. If he hasn't driven one I'm sure it will bring a big smile to his face.
Buh buh buh Honda buh 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 IS THE BEST CATS ITALIAN IS NOT THE BEST CARS JAPAN . BUH BUH BUH BUH . HA HA
Congrats on the baby boy Mr and Mrs JWW!
Great assessment of one of motoring's icons! I remember test driving one of these, and before I took over, the salesman took a corner at a speed that I was convinced would shoot us into the scenery. Just as I was lowering my head between my legs to kiss my arse goodbye, he floored it, and with a slight flick of the wrist at the same time, the Intergrale just powered out of the corner.... 4-wheel drifting...in the wet. Loved it, along with the front end view. Sweet!
This folk tells us the most in-detail spec of the car he reviews, to be precise! 😂
I love James for that
Lamborghini Murcielago LP670 SV.
Congratulations on your little man!! May he grow up to be a healthy petrolhead just like his parents!
Congrats on baby! This series has been totally awesome so far!
A Porsche Carrera S 993!
Or if you have a larger budget, a turbo or a Carrera RS
Try a Honda S2000 if you haven't, a manual gearbox that is sublime. Worth it for that alone. And I know you like an engine that revs to 9000. Thank me later.
BTW Congratulations both of you. Just watched this for the second time. It is the history, the feel and that fact that you had o get to know the cars back then to get the most from them. But once you did then the excitement of the drive was like nothing else, You are inspiring me to want to get something from back in my era growing up. Sierra Cosworth, XR2/3, RS turbo, Corrado VR6, Peugeot GTi 1.9/GT turbo/rallye, classic impreza turbo/P1/RB5 etc. Lotus Carlton......
I love this series. TDF is a great car to make content on. But honestly, not everybody is able to film these classic cars and this is unique to your channel!
The Radio triggers me so hard... what the hell was the owner thinking..? Lovely Video though
Must be changed like 20 years ago when that car was not so classic yet. Now it just looks stupid.
Visa Laine Look closer.. Display way to good to be more then a few years old.. my optinion
It’s a nice head unit that Alpine
I’d do same and keep the original at home
Visa Laine it’s from around 6 years ago that model alpine and is a top head unit not a cheap one
Brad Kells i just dont think it is s fit for such an iconic car.. i d put in a modern Radio with Classic Looks.
One of the greatest cars of all times!
ITALIAN PRIDE 💪
The Civic Type R hatchback from the 90s is amazing! Ultra lightweight, revs to 9k rpm and manual transmission!!! Got to review it! It is true car enthusiast!
.i love this series James. So excited
Finally a proper car on this channel not a car making up for a guy with a small gentleman sausage.What a machine a real man's car.
Nice car but plenty of great cars besides this calm down
F40? Carrera GT?
@@allensaunders449 Not saying there isn't but most cars this guy looks at are way over a £100,000
Congratulations to the new addition of the family!
Great introduction and presentation of the Lancia Delta Integrale!
You absolute legend. Got the notification at 3am now too buzzing to sleep had to watch the review of my dream car. Story out there that Jean Alesi in his f355 couldn’t keep up with a delta intergrale round the twisty roads.
Many congrats on your new baby boy.
I still remember as a youngster (I'm now early 50's) walking to and from primary school and occasionally seeing a 911. Where I grew up they were rarer than hen's teeth so whilst it was nothing special in the wider world, that was the one for me. For your lad, what could be better than the current 991.2 GT3 Touring? By the time he comes of age, it will be firmly routed as a classic. That, or a SWB Quattro which will hopefully appear in this series soon!!
Congratulations man.
Now the real journey starts ❤️
Snuck that one in there - many congratulations James. Must say you're looking remarkably awake having a new-born at home, I was in bits!
Major congratulations on the baby boy!!! And thank you so much for the upload of this fantastic classic car!!!
Beauty! One of my favourite cars from the 80's. Just loved the WRC back then. Loved the Lancia.
I remember my college teacher having one of these... Mr Allen for an old fella you were super cool!!!
Yes thank you for listening. My family has one of these!
The best car that has appeared in your channel, a peace of history with wheels
Fantastic as always! Nice to see these old school cars featuring on popular channels.
Congrats on your new boy James!! Love all the passion for Lancias nowadays, those boxy bodies are so pure from the start that they're just awesome... This series deserves a 2002 Turbo Review. Just think about it and make it happen!
My uncle used to have one in gunmetal grey. So awesome, so muscular. As a passenger I clearly remember the feeling when the turbo kicked in, a true space rocket. In Italy was called the supercar for the worker. Now is simply known as La Regina (The Queen).
i might sound like a broken record already but superb content as always. modern classics is a good name for a series. and I, for sure, will be looking forward to more episodes from this series.
and congrats to you on becoming a Father and give our warm welcome to MrJww Jr.
A baby boy, thats wonderful sir!
.
I started to imagine, you drive a gtr R34 with your son on the passenger seat, enjoying the time and make it a hell of a hard time to forget...
Thats a strange wank bank you got there mate.
Loving this series on iconic motors. Congratulations on the arrival of Jr. JWW .
James congratulations with your baby boy!!
Congratulations to the mini-James!!! All the best! And hold tight!
That dashboard is so rad!
Your content is top class at the moment. I’d love to get into as much technical as possible on these modern classics. I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love it.
Sign this man up for a TV car show - aka Top Gear. This is such a fantastic review of an iconic Group 'B' car which real enthusiasm and style, you are a natural. I love these cars from this era, they are true drivers cars, and put a huge grin on your face. The Mitsubishi Tommi Mac and Subaru Impreza 22B/P1 are also in that same league. James, have a look on 4Star Classics as they have an identical car for sale at a pricey sum of £115k. Bargin I think! But on a serious note, a long term keeper with baby in mind, what about a modern day hatch. I read in the letters section of the latest issue of Evo mag that a a man sold his RS3 hatch for a Golf R as it was more fun more of them time and cheaper to run. Future cars to review in this series, you have to review a fast Ford - Escort RS Cossie or Sierra RS500 Cossie.
wow, a Delta Integrale! how awesome!
Another top top video! Made even better with the announcement that you now have a son! Huge congratulations to you and Mrs JWW! Enjoy every minute!
Congratulations James!
So far you got 3 of the 5 cars I suggested. Happiness achieved
Congratulations to becoming a father James, its the ultimate life leveller...all the best to baby and mother...I'm so looking forward to how this awesome life leveller will do to increase the scope of the channel.
I love that you compared it to the F40. Just the other day I watched Jay Leno's Garage and he said the exact same thing about the Lancia Stradale! It's obvious that Enzo, in his sadly last involvement of a Ferrari model, managed to encompass EVERYTHING that made these classics so enjoyable to drive.
