Vehicle Description
Chassis No. ZLA831AB000586361
Born from the unforgiving stages of World Rally Championship
competition where the Delta secured an unprecedented six
consecutive Manufacturers' titles from 1987 to 1992, the Evoluzione
II emerged in June 1993 as the ultimate expression of the Delta
Integrale homologation special. Compared with its predecessor, the
Evoluzione II featured uprated turbos, revised camshafts, and a new
intercooler layout that increased boost and power to approximately
212 horsepower. Suspension geometry was refined, brakes were
enlarged, and 16-inch alloy wheels mounted with performance tires
were fitted to sharpen handling.
To mark the end of Delta Integrale production, Lancia released the
Collezione, also known as the "Edizione Finale," in late
1994-limited to just 250 cars in total. Created specifically at the
request of Japanese importers and enthusiasts, this exclusive
edition was reserved solely for the Japanese domestic market.
Distinguished by its striking Rosso Amaranto (Amaranth Red) paint
with the iconic yellow and blue HF center stripe reminiscent of the
Fulvia HF, the Edizione Finale featured unique equipment including
Eibach springs, an OMP rear strut brace, revised engine management,
and distinctive 16-inch Speedline Monte Carlo wheels finished in
Anthracite. Black Alcantara-upholstered Recaro seats, a MOMO Corse
steering wheel, silver gauge cluster fascia, drilled aluminum
pedals, a push-button starter, and unique carbon fiber trim rounded
out the interior details.
This exceptional example, chassis number 121 of the 250 produced,
was completed on 28 December 1994. Its Lancia Certificato d'Origine
notes that it was additionally optioned with manual air
conditioning, owner's manual in English, and a wax-coating
treatment. The Delta spent much of its life in its home market of
Japan where it changed hands through four successive Japanese
owners from 1997 to 2010. Japanese documentation reveals recorded
odometer readings by Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism recording just 4,200 kilometers by 2007, and
21,400 kilometers by 2009. Following its de-registration and export
from Japan in late 2010, the car spent eight years in Victoria,
Australia, before joining the current owner's collection in Newport
Beach, California, in March 2018.
Recognizing the significance of this limited-edition Delta, a
comprehensive refurbishment was commissioned by Tanc Barratt Ltd.,
renowned U.K. specialists in Delta Integrale preparation, in 2019.
The £30,000 investment ensured every mechanical and cosmetic detail
met the highest standards. More recently, in March 2025, Lancia
specialist Filippo Cusimano performed a thorough service including
all fluids, air conditioning recharge, and replacement of front and
rear brake discs and pads, confirming the car's readiness for its
next caretaker.
The car retains its complete complement of original accessories,
including original manuals, toolkit, and spare tire. The car is
additionally accompanied by a Lancia Certificato di Origine
documenting its production specifications, as well as a mileage
statement from specialist Tanc Barratt testifying that the car's
condition is commensurate with the current mileage. Now offered
with 33,417 kilometers at the time of cataloging and benefiting
from diligent care, this Delta Integrale Evoluzione II Collezione
is ready to stand out in any rallying-focused collection and be
enjoyed for its WRC-winning performance.
