Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Very dull original paint with scratches and chips all over, especially on the tail section. The engine bay is a little grimy but maintained. The interior is lightly worn. The wheels are fairly dirty and scratched up. Like the Delta S4 in this sale, this is an inherently awesome and highly desirable Lancia rally monster that is really let down by a mediocre level of care despite its low 9,343 km. Represented as having been restored in 2013-14, but the work must have been limited to sorting things mechanically and the catalog cautions that 'A full mechanical service would be recommended before use.'
Market commentary
One of 200 built for Group B homologation and the last truly successful rear-drive WRC car. The more iconic Audi Quattro and Ford RS200 tend to bring higher prices, while lesser known but still successful Group B cars like this seem to command something in the $200,000-$300,000 range. The result here reflects the Lancia's desirability, compromised by the aged condition and lack of recent use or service; finding a shop skilled in such an obscure drivetrain won't be easy, or inexpensive.
