Lancia won six straight World Rally Championship Constructor titles (and four Driver’s titles) from the debut of the Delta Integrale in 1987, making it the greatest Group A rally car and what many regard as the greatest rally car of all time.

And now you can buy one of the seven Works-built Lancia Delta Integrale HF 16V rally cars!

The Race Cars Direct website has a listing for a genuine Lancia factory-built 1989-spec Group A Delta Integrale HF 16V for sale, in the same red-and-black livery which won on debut at the WRC round Rally Sanremo in 1989. This particular car is in stunning original condition as it apparently never turned a wheel in anger, being used solely for press photography duties.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the opportunity to own an as-new example of the most successful Group A rally car comes with a price tag of, “If you have to ask you probably can’t afford it”.

But it begs the question, what brand new Group A rally car do you dream of buying? Let us know in the comments.

A love of classic American and European cars drove Iain Kelly to motoring journalism straight out of high school, via the ownership of a tired 1975 HJ Holden Monaro.  For nearly 20 years he has worked on magazines and websites catering to modified late model high-performance Japanese and European tuner cars, as well as traditional hot rods, muscle cars and street machines. Some of these titles include Auto Salon, LSX Tuner, MOTOR, Forged, Freestyle Rides, Roadkill, SPEED, and Street Machine. He counts his trip to the USA to help build Mighty Car Mods’ “Subarute” along with co-authoring their recent book, The Cars of Mighty Car Mods, among his career highlights.  Iain lends his expertise to CarsGuide for a variety of advice projects, along with legitimising his automotive obsession with regular OverSteer contributions. Although his practical skills working on cars is nearly all self-taught, he still loves nothing more than spending quality time in the shed working on his project car, a 1964 Pontiac. He also admits to also having an addiction to E30 BMWs and Subaru Liberty RS Turbos, both of which he has had multiple examples of. With car choices like that, at least his mum thinks he is cool.
