    I love Mat, but i think he (and especially his mates) don’t quite know what this machine is, and how it, and Lancia changed the face of motoring and motorsport forever. It’s a BEAST, and it trumps a lot of what he’s got in his garage, McLaren or otherwise.

      @@pauliewalnuts240 I would say that you are not a full on petrolhead then. It’s not about how fast it is, or how reliable it is, it’s definitely not about fuel economy either. It’s about the whole experience, the sound the smells and the feel. I have a Integrale 16v and if I haven’t come away from a drive, where I am not fatigued, sweating and buzzing. The car smells of hot oil and unburnt fuel. Then I haven’t driven it properly. After all it is full on, fire breathing race car, built for the road. Unlike homologation cars of today.

    The panel gaps are "period correct" for this model/manufacturer. Ask anyone working on Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia bodies of the 1970s, 80s and 90, they will all confirm that "You can immediately see it has had body work done because all the panel gaps are even" on a car that had a restoration done to it.

This is for me the perfect car once all the “Spaghetti-Niggles” (aka Giovanni was watching calcio and he’s still tired so sorry for the somewhat approximative quality…) have been sorted out. Next try to drive a Maserati Ghibli Cup of the 1997 model year… this thing is ballistic even for todays standards. Ask Harry Metcalfe about this Masterpiece as he owned one… could be a good car for Mat too as he’s keen on driving analog cars… oh and that ginger haired guy has no clue but lots of Daddy’s money, so he’s dismissed for automotive incompetence…

    I was once loaned a Delta Integrale for a day when I was younger thanks to a super kind Fiat / Lancia specialist who I used to go to. My jaw was on the floor every time I took my terrible little Fiat into them and I think the garage owner felt sorry for me.
    Within about 15 minutes half of the interior fell apart and one of the window mechanisms failed, so I had to use plastic shims to hold it up for the rest of the day. Life changing experience driving it around though.

    I put money on I could pick faults with all of Matts cars and if you're tracking yours, then it isn't going to be a trailer queen anyway!
    To be honest every car will have an issue or three if old and definitely new! After having been in car cleaning, detailing of used and brand new cars including working at the aftermath of bodyshop repairs for many years you get an eye for blemishes and boy it's amazing what normal people can't see 👀

    The car looks amazing Ben, my experience of fiat’s and Lancia’s is they never were built very well and nothing lined up and they tended to let water in due to the lovely factory panel gap, looks better that the original to me 👍👍👍 you’ve also got to remember, as much as I love mat and his dad and crew, he is only a youngan and wasn’t born when these cars were around

    Ben these old Integrale really benifit from a modern turbo. A 5th gen GTB 2056VK or the 2060VK hybrid special would transform the throttle response low down in the rev range. Starts spooling from 1500rpm.

    Perhaps I might try and find a Lancia that needs some work...a lot of work. I owned a rusty 1980's Alfa 33 4 carb pocket rocket and never had so much fun on four wheels ( sometimes 3). It needed constant welding, electric window switches on dash started producing magic smoke, head gasket leaked, gearbox got stuck in reverse in the middle of no where (wooden mallet fixed that) but all these repairs were simple and weekend jobs. Very quick for a 1.3L and left MK1 Golf GTI's and XR3I's in the dust, the drivers in disbelief. You aren't a true petrol head until you have owned an Italian car.
