Great cars, I remember standing in a wet cold forrest watching the likes of Didier Auriol and Juha Kankanen flying by in those things..

Saw an Evo 3 I think last week in red with tan leather interior it was mint, there's one near Lily's all in Martini colours like the video looks stunning

Superb! Theres a Integrale specialist near me (Prestocar) and whenever I go past I can never resist a quick peep. Also I quite often see a pretty old bloke hammering an early 8v one up around Settle/Hawes. Always looks to be enjoying himself and the car looks well used to say the least. Special car them and the Fulvias.

Great, this is great - I had one and loved it - 1984 it was.

Got done doing 129 MPH on the M50 spur near Ross-On-Wye and the old bill loved it too !!

Trouble was it was LHD - even remember it's number plate - BBC 541Y

Ah happy days:D

Lucky man!

My dream car

Used to have a 16v golf and tried to race an integrale in wales.I ended up sliding at 60mph plus on the corners but no way could I keep up.

Went on holiday the year after and a guy in the hotel we stayed at gave me a go in his. It was everything that I had expected. I have also driven an escort cosworth and that felt soul less in comparison.

Shame they never made a 2 door.

I had a test drive in a new one with the Martini stripes. I could't afford to buy it at the time:lol: but hey I had to have a go. A great car and one of the few I ever even thought about buying. :o

[nelly]

There's a guy in one of the factories near me got one........and it's YELLOW :)
Looks, sounds and goes amazing!!

[Dibble]

awesome, a family member used to import them into the UK, have driven virtually every variant.

thanks Ian .. I enjoyed that ...

[Martinp]

Wow, does that take me back. It was my dream car too, I lined up a Delta Sport but ended up with an XR3 instead.

Thanks for the great memories Ian

Remember when the (roadgoing) Evo3 was launched, it was voted by Autocar as the fastest point to point car in the world ! They tested it against Fezzers and everything !!

Love the Integrale, never driven one or even ridden in one. When I lived in Cornwall back in 1975 a mate of mine had a Lancia Stratos-evil beastie, came with a 2.4-6 cylinder Ferrari Dino engine. Rear engine, rear wheel drive, 190BHP and the dam thing only weighed 950kg-bloody good fun though..................:devil:
