Only 365 of these Evoluzione 2 Bianco Perlato were built worldwide. Sought after in-period and even more so now. Arriving in June 1993, a further development of the HF Integrale naturally became known as the Evo 2, and featured an updated version of the 2-litre, 16-valve turbo engine producing a little more power (215bhp) and incorporated a three-way catalyst and a Lambda probe, with everything being organised by a new Marelli integrated engine control system.
In addition to the mechanical changes, the Evo 2 received a cosmetic and functional facelift that included, new 16" light-alloy rims with 205/45 ZR16 tyres, a body-coloured roof moulding to underline the connection between the roof and the Solar-control windows, an aluminium fuel cap, air-intake grilles in the mudguards and a red-painted cylinder head. Based on both the Evo 1 and 2, Lancia produced various Limited Editions, and these cars were shared amongst its own dealer network. Naturally, with very low production numbers, they became sought after in period and even more so now. In particular demand was the Evoluzione 2 Bianco Perlato known affectionately amongst enthusiasts as La Perla.
Only 365 were built worldwide, finished in White Pearl with a blue leather Recaro interior including the Momo steering wheel. On offer here is a beautiful Lancia Delta Evo 2 Bianco Perlato first registered in Padova, Italy, in 1994. It was imported to the UK in 1999 showing 77,000km, complete with a full service history from Macola Auto Lancia in Padova and the service records have been carefully kept up to date by its four subsequent UK-owners. The engine was rebuilt a few years ago by well known marque specialists, and the body was recently repainted to a very high standard.
It has recently been thoroughly refreshed mechanically including a replacement clutch, turbocharger, brakes, suspension etc. all to original specifications. The lovely original blue leather interior is in fantastic condition. Although now showing 152,400km (94,500 miles) this Perlato has been the subject of careful restoration to original specifications, and more information on this work is listed below: Complete body shell refurbishment and repaint by the well known and respected Spike's Vintage Restoration in Summer 2017. Purchased by the current owner, a well-known Lancia aficionado, in June 2022 with 152,000km and in good working order.
Engine and transmission removed and engine bay restored. Engine overhauled. Turbocharger overhauled. Gearbox overhauled, new clutch fitted. All rubber replaced including cooling hoses, breather hoses, PAS hoses. Suspension completely overhauled with new shock absorbers, springs and mounts. Front and rear brake overhaul including all hydraulics. Interior removed, cleaned, treated and refitted. Stainless steel rear silencer fitted. As well as being rare, the Bianco Perlato is totally different to the kind of special Evos that we normally see as, instead of being covered in Martini or Repsol advertising, this Evo is wearing a party frock, kind of a prom queen with a black belt in Karate.
