Holy Grail of Integrale's sells for £218K at Auction
Discussion
Since when has a Lancia Integrale been a Super Car ,When it sells for £218K that's when.
A Lancia Integrale Delta EVO 2 Edizione Finale to give it's full title sold at Silverstone Auction for £218K.
Number 92 of 250 manufactured, only 5,400 km's from new.
Always fancied one but thought at £60K i'd missed the boat ,
Hindsight is a wonderful thing,
Will be interesting to see how this will effect Iesser Integrales values,
Not that anyone needs a excuse to inflate prices
A Lancia for the price of a Speciale, who would have thought.

Well an Integrale is a damn sight more special than a Speciale for a start.
That being said…the Evo 2 was the lilo lil of the Integrales and the last ones straight out of Antoine and Eurotrash.
A sorted Evo I is pretty close to the bedrock of perfection. My wife considered it the best deposit for a house ever. I consider selling at £12k to buy a house the most bloody annoying decision I’ve ever made! Absolutely after I’d just spent £4K at Walkers making her damn nr perfect.
The drive back from Nr Allerton across the moors, mid December, late afternoon/evening though…snow on the ground, moody skies and a just fettled, sorted Integrale. Money can’t buy that memory.

Having driven one many moons ago, I never considered it anything special. I wouldn't have paid the 6k asking price at the time, let alone 60k+. Pretty sure that was an early evo morning. That being said, having been driving all sorts of Japanese stuff at the time fresh off the boat, the prices of those has gone mental too.A Lancia Integrale Delta EVO 2 Edizione Finale to give it's full title sold at Silverstone Auction for £218K.

Never really saw the fascination of these having experienced one but I guess it's like anything old school, Rose tinted goggles etc.
I own an Evo 2. Probably the best road car I've ever owned, based (obvs) on very subjective criteria like size, analogue feedback, immersiveness, usefulness, looks etc etc.
Clearly the price of the Final Edition above is absolutely nuts, but there aren't many modern supercars today that float my boat.

You and everybody else Mega money for that car. I try and understand clsssic car values. Very recently I dont seem to.
At that money has probably gone into a private collection but if bought by the trade may be in for another shock .

Agree, FE pricing changes the argument a bit, but Integrales have been undervalued historically, imv.Clearly the price of the Final Edition above is absolutely nuts, but there aren't many modern supercars today that float my boat.
Does everything, has masses of character, and is just at home on a slushy winter's day or parked outside Hotel de Paris.
And they don't all rust!
I suppose in that mileage/condition it’s almost a one off opportunity like the 22B that Silverstone auctioned at the weekend....fills a gap for a collector somewhere. Doubt it is going to get used ! So few cars these days have any kind of genuine motorsport pedigree you have to think the one’s that do and were genuinely successful from years gone by may get appreciated more.
Mine has 117,000km on it, but in great condition and has had zero issues in 8 years I’ve owned it. I use it every winter on proper tyres and it’s not got any rust either. (Well none that I can see...)
Values aside, I would not swap it for a Speciale, even though that is also a great car.

I enjoyed mine (16v, not evo), it was well worth the £9k I paid in 1996. For me, they’ve become massively overvalued since then. Obviously they’re ‘worth’ whatever the market will support and good luck to anyone cashing in on it, but I think the hype around them has surpassed the reality. Enjoyable cars though, absolutely not knocking them.I owned a Madras blue EVO 1 in the late 90's - one of the best yet most frustrating cars I have ever owned.
Was looked after by specialist John Whalley in Bishops Stortford and was a money pit, after the engine rebuild at 40,000 miles he chipped it to about 285bhp and it just came alive then, especially in the wet, fantastic steering feel too.
Sold it for £12k as it was rusting around the windscreen and was only 6 years old...
I'd love another but you'd have to be certified to spend that kind of money on one imo.

Tried to get my dad to get an Evo2 about 1997 from a dealership in Glasgow, it was only 7k at the time the catch was the engine was in boxes in the boot! It had gone pop at some point and the previous owner had bought all the parts to fix it but traded it in.
Dad got a Alfa 164 v6 instead, so it wasn’t all bad......

Easier availability of parts won’t do any harm...

The vender must have been a happy chappy as the car was on sale at £140K,
That's when a auction comes into it's own,Now that wouldn't of happened with
a classified ad in your driveway.
I don't know if it was the same car, but there was one that was advertised until recently by a trader in Reading for about the last five years, that started off at about £60k and got progressively more expensive.That's when a auction comes into it's own,Now that wouldn't of happened with
