The seller offers for sale this 1994 Lancia Delta HF 2.0 Turbo LS, a late-model version of the iconic Delta lineage featuring the 1995 cc four-cylinder turbocharged engine. This specific example was acquired directly from its first owner in Saluzzo, Italy. The service history is well documented, including a timing belt replacement at 107,073 km in 2020. It now reads just 110,000 km and has received regular maintenance, including a service in September 2024 and a set of new summer tyres.
The car retains its factory-specified optional Recaro interior and is equipped with electronically controlled dampers. Mechanically, it is described as solid has passed a valid Dutch technical inspection.
The paintwork is generally in good condition, with only a small dent behind the fuel filler flap—an imperfection the seller intentionally left untouched to preserve the car’s originality. The rest of the body panels appear clean and consistent with the vehicle’s low mileage and careful ownership.
The interior has recently been refreshed with a new black Alcantara-look headliner, new door panels, and carpeting, including custom floor mats. The Recaro seats remain original and present well with only minimal signs of use. The float in the fuel tank is currently non-functional and on back-order; as a result, the fuel gauge has been temporarily disabled. Other electrical systems and gauges are in working order.
This Lancia Delta HF represents a unique blend of usability and collectibility. The LS trim level bridged the gap between the hardcore Integrale models and more refined road use, incorporating features like electronic damping and optional luxury finishes. While not an all-wheel-drive rally homologation car like the Integrale Evoluzione, the HF Turbo LS still delivered spirited performance and sharper handling thanks to its turbocharged front-wheel-drive setup.
Introduced in the early 1980s, the Delta was a Giugiaro-designed five-door hatchback that won the 1980 European Car of the Year. It gained iconic status thanks to its success in World Rally Championship Group A, where the Delta Integrale dominated from 1987 to 1992. The HF variants, including this LS, retained the sporty DNA with distinctive trim, boosted engines, and tuned chassis setups.
In today’s market, the HF Turbo LS is a lesser-seen but appealing alternative to the often more expensive and hard-used Integrale models. With its genuine one-owner history, desirable options, and condition-focused ownership, this particular car is an excellent example for the enthusiast who values originality and period-correct preservation. It delivers the essence of 1990s Italian performance motoring with enough comfort to make regular use enjoyable.
