First registered in Turin as 'TO34164H' by FIAT Auto SpA on 22nd November 1988, this Lancia Delta Integrale was a works entry driven by local ace Vic Preston Jr in that year's East African Safari Rally. Unfortunately, Vic had to retire the car with a broken gearbox having crashed off the road; his team-mate Miki Biasion, though, went on to win, his victory being Lancia's first in this most challenging of international rallies. This car's next known outing was the 1989 Acropolis Rally (27th May to 1st June) where it was driven by the Argentine driver Jorge Recalde, finishing in 5th place.

Jorge Recalde was the only Argentine winner of the Rally Argentina, doing so in 1988 driving a Lancia Delta Integrale and in the process becoming the only Argentine to win a World Rally Championship round. He died of a heart attack while competing in the Villa Dolores Rally in 2001. FIAT sold the Integrale shortly after the Acropolis Rally (on 29th June 1989), its purchaser being Fingold SpA in Milan, a finance company. The Top Run rally team then took over the Integrale for the remainder of the 1989 season, entering Recalde in the Rally Australia (DNF, broken driveshaft, Special Stage 2); and the RAC Rally (15th overall).

The Integrale was subsequently sold to a leasing company, Biella leasing SPA in Turin, in 1993 IT was sold on to Scuderia Valcamonica in Breno. In 1996, a well-known rally collector of Cuneo, Italy bought the Integrale. The Integrale was in normal rally trim upon his purchase but it was supplied with Safari Rally parts in boxes. It was at this time the car was subject to a restoration, returning it to its Safari Rally configuration in the late 1990s, using the correct five-speed gearbox (a six-speeder was used for all other rallies). Apparently, the car was not used by the collector owner as he had many other historic rally cars to play with (Lancia S4, etc).

Sold to Scuderia Jolly Italia in 2010, the Integrale returned to its previous rally collector owner in 2013 and was sold to the current owner in Pavia early in 2019. Believed unused since circa 1996, the car is said to need some re-commissioning but nevertheless is described by the vendor as functioning well. A rare opportunity to acquire an ex-works example of this historic rally car possessing in-period World Championship history.

Ex-Vic Preston/Jorge Recalde Lancia Delta Integrale 8V voiture de rallye Groupe A 1988 Immatriculation TO34164H Châssis n° 417996

  • Voiture d'usine
  • Historique en championnat du monde des rallyes à l'époque
  • Historique des propriétaires connu
  • Restaurée aux spécifications du Safari Rally au milieu des années 1990
  • Vraisemblablement inutilisée depuis sa restauration D'abord immatriculée à Turin TO34164H par Fiat Auto-SpA le 22 novembre 1988, cette Lancia Delta Integrale fut engagée par l'usine, avec le champion local Vic Preston Jr comme pilote au Safari Rally de l'East African Safari Rally de cette année-là.

Malheureusement, Vic dut abandonner, suite à une casse de sa boîte de vitesses après une sortie de route. Son co-équipier Miki Biasion, lui, remporta l'épreuve, sa victoire étant la première de Lancia dans le plus disputé des rallyes internationaux. La sortie suivante de la voiture eut lieu au rallye Acropole en 1989 (du 27 mai au 1er juin) où le pilote argentin Jorge Recalde l'amena à la 5e place. Jorge Recalde fut le seul vainqueur argentin du rallye d'Argentine, au volant de la Lancia Delta Integrale et du même coup le seul Argentin à remporter un rallye en championnat du monde en 1988. Il allait mourir d'une crise cardiaque au cours du rallye de la Villa Dolores en 2001.

Fiat vendit l'Integrale peu après le rallye Acropole (le 29 juin 1989), son acquéreur étant Fingold SpA à Milan, une société financière. L'équipe de rallye Top Run reprit l'Integrale pour le reste de la saison 1989, engageant Recalde dans le rallye d'Australie (il ne termina pas, arbre de transmission cassé dans la 2e étape de la spéciale) et au RAC Rally (15e au classement général). L'Integrale fut ensuite vendu à une société de leasing, Biella leasing SPA de Turin, en 1993. Elle fut ensuite achetée par la Scuderia Valcamonica de Breno. En 1996, un collectionneur bien connu de voitures de rallye de Cuneo, en Italie acheta l'Integrale.

L'Integrale était dans sa livrée rallye normale au moment de son acquisition, mais elle lui avait été vendue avec des pièces du Safari Rally dans des boîtes. C'est à ce moment-là que la voiture fut soumise à une restauration dans sa configuration du Safari Rally à la fin des années 1990, dotée d'une boîte à cinq rapports conforme (une boîte six rapports était utilisée pour tous les autres rallyes). Apparemment, la voiture ne fut pas utilisée par le collectionneur qui avait plusieurs autres voitures historiques de rallye (Lancia S4, etc...).

Vendue à la Scuderia Jolly Italia en 2010, l'Integrale retourna chez son précédent propriétaire collectionneur en 2013 et fut vendue à son actuel propriétaire à Pavie au début de 2019. Probablement inutilisée depuis environ 1996, la voiture nécessitera une remise en route mais est néanmoins décrite par le vendeur comme fonctionnant bien. Une rare opportunité d'acquérir un modèle d'usine ce cette voiture de rallye avec un historique dans le championnat du monde de l'époque.
