I think all the Delta Integrales were left hand drive. Have another from Donington Park in September

Back when I was at uni (mid 90s), there used to be a red Martini-liveried one in the computer centre car park most days, along with a Lotus Esprit in Essex colours. Happy days.

A smattering of the 8v were in RHD, converted professionally by the importer using genuine RHD Delta parts. However, it was fearfully expensive and only a dozen of so go the treatment.
Mine was LHD, which you quickly get used to. The honeymoon period was short lived, coming to a close when it failed an MOT so badly the list of failure points ran to a second side of A4. Silly stuff, but lots of it. They're hand grenades with thr pin already pulled.

Another old Italian time capsule that looks like its just rolled out of the factory the year it was made, a 1985 Alfa GTV6.

Thats lovely, quite an elegant design. MOT history shows it has only 22000 miles, and is doing about a thousand a year so I'm guessing it's a fair weather toy.

And now we come to my personal top 3. Not that I would turn down any of the above, they are all amazing, but if I was flush with oil money and had to leave the show with 3, they'd be........drum roll please.......this Ferrari engine Lancia 037. Again I've never seen one in real life, and it doesn't disappoint,just wow

Sorry to ressurect an old post, but 037's did not have a Ferrari engine (that was sort of the Stratos, which used the engine from the Dino 246, which wasnt actually a Ferrari, but most owners put Ferrari badges on), they had a supercharged Lampredi designed 2.0 twin cam 4 pot.
The only Lancia to have an actual Ferrari engine was the Thema 8.32 which had a V8 based on the one from a 308 (but detuned, and mounted transversely)
