A very nice one!

I used to drool over the Integrale EvoII, I always considered the Integrale to be a cross between a Nova with proper attitude and an E30 M3 Evo with that unmistakeable hint of passion that only comes from Italy.
My dad toyed with the idea of having one, but it went the same way as the M3, dismissed because of the increased insurance associated with a LHD, so he bought a Trident instead.:notworthy:

[HFLagos]

A very nice one!

Thanks! Yours looks very nice, must be very very light and quick. Like the wing mirrors. :beer:

Love Integrales.

My 6th form wish list was this and an Élan SE.

[HFLagos]

With another nice 90's hatch

Lagos.....you have excellent taste.

Is that a 1,2 or 3 ?

Thanks! That Williams belonged to my brother and was a 3. It was in unbelievably good condition. Over the years he had a 1, 2 and 3.

We are continuously debating whether to get another Integrale again and/or a Williams for a bit of nostalgia. There are Final Edition Integrales coming over from Japan now, perhaps a consideration, but also have a massive soft spot for Giallos. The problem is servicing and parts availability, it's become difficult. With this in mind, just feel prices are a bit toppy now.

The Williams meanwhile is cheap as chips now, such a good car and I'd love one as a runabout.

Have not read the article, but was aware it was covered.

There were always some limited editions (e.g. Club Italia, Hi-Fi, Lagos, Bianco Perlato, Dealers Collection, Giallo etc) but there was always a certain mystique about that car, did it or did it not really exist. The only photos of that car up till recently were lovely looking shots taking near what looked like a coal pit!

I had a 16v Integrale from 1998 to 2004 - bought it from Nick Johnson - it was his very 1st private car deal. When I went to view (& then purchase) my CSL from him last year, he still had pics of said 16v up on his wall.

A friend of mine has a Club Italia & a Club Lancia, both in spectacular condition - a very rare pair of Evo that have increased in value by some margin now.

Evo looks mega in Giallo Fly, White or Red.

Hard to believe they only. C.210 bhp and now usurped by clios these days.

Escort cosworth the same - 20 years ago it looked like a intergalactic UFO. Now (standard) it wouldn't frighten a regular hot hatch.

Bonkers

not that light, because of cage, bbk, wheels, and the original body panels and windows. Altought faster than the CSL in a straight line.

[ChrisCSL]

and speaking of Clios:

I think we all have the same kind of idea of what is a fun car to drive
:beer:
a little chavy, from a nowadays point of view, isn`t it?
