As gifted and experienced an auto reporter as Chris is, you’d think he would be showing off his garage filled with million dollar cars. But a Delta 8v is all he needs to have a great time. That’s why I love these videos…as Harry Metcalf says, “it’s all about the driving.”

[@GB-vn1tf]

I've never understood why people fill a garage with exotic cars but never use them other than to look at in theirgarage? Each to there own, if that's what they want to do, but we never get to see them being driven, which surely is the point of having exotic cars? To be seen in. As you say, Harry and Chris drive the cars they have.

These guy don’t make nearly as much money as people think.

[@dazza818]

@@GB-vn1tf A lot of people have a collection of something. the difference is in what you can afford to collect. If you had the financial ability to buy your favourite cars, you would. Then you will quickly end up in the same predicament. Yes Chris and Harry drive some of their cars. At the same time they have cars sitting for a while for multiple reason.

Then out of nowhere, I heard something bombing down the B road nearby. It was a burgandy 16v Evo. Never forgotten the sound to this day. I jumped back into my trusty 205 gti and struggled to wipe the smile of my face on the way home. Awesome car. The ultimate 80's rally hot hatch. Very jealous!

Well done Chris. I had a Black F Reg 8v Integrale for 3yrs in 1998. It was around 5k then & loved it. Would love to have another, but also get worried about rust issues etc, as can be expensive to sort. So, love what you're doing about just driving it & not concerned that it's not a show car etc, life is short, but I do think this mindset is also helped by available money you obviously have, that can give a more blasse attitude with cars. For people where 15k is a more noticeable amount to spend, then it's harder for them to not worry about it. Still great video, & good job in getting out there & using it, would love to see more videos on this car please.

Thanks for this Chris, I bought my first Delta 1300lx when I was 18, breathed on with loads of HF turbo bits. I took a job I really didn't want so I could afford and 8v integrale, which I really wanted. After a highlift cam, BWE chip and boost controller it was very quick. Presently restoring my old evo2 which I daily drove until it died. We have more cars now but the integrale has its own room in the house and I just love it but it will not only be a garage queen, but also a piece of art to look from my Scottish room drinking alcohol only going out for dry days and pampering. Yes its bad but I've wasted so much money daily driving them. The bonnet is not 16v, as with the wheels, they were standard spec on the 8v Cat so please leave them both alone.

[@babelhuber3449]

The rally car at the beginning of the video isn't an Integrale, it's a 1987 HF 4WD. Almost the same car, but without the Integrale's fenders and only 166PS. I had a HF 4WD in 1995/ 1996. Beautiful car!

[@JamesElise160]

I nearly bought a ‘grale years ago, right up to the point where I drove an Elise on an experience day (never, admittedly having driven a ‘grale). Still have the Elise (sport 160), I do wonder if I would still have the lancia if I’d have bought it instead due to the running costs, but they are still a beautiful, evocative machine. Would have been worth about double what my Elise is currently worth now too (I was looking at evo 1’s…). Need a lottery win and then I can add one to the stable

[@HedgeCCL]

I had an EVO 2 until recently. One of the garage queen models, as CH refers to. I sold it cos I was afraid to drive it, it was worth so much. And so much more than I paid for it. It got to the point where I thought every single mile I put on it would devalue it. Crazy, I know.

[@lknowledge]

I know that feeling. Owning a classic from the 90s and people are calling me crazy because I actually drive it even during the winter and use it as my daily. Yes, it will rust and I will have to fix it, yes it will loose its low mileage status but boo hoo, it will get marks from driving it... But still at times when I drive through the finnish salt covered roads (salt to prevent ice forming) I feel bad and think that I should have bought a worse example (mine is full original lowish mileage car with all the paperwork, museum registered etc).

I had a '90 16V integrale. I still regret the day I sold it.. But as a note about the bonnet iirc all 8 V Kat used the body and diff front : rear bias as the 16V versions at the time.. So the 16V bonnet is correct on a 8V Kat.

Chris needs to swap or ecu mod to boost above 1bar set limit. Mine runs 1.2 to 1.3 bar with around 280bhp with 480cc injectors, just enough more is plenty. Also I fitted td05 twin scroll turbo from evo 4 and 2.5” with screamer pipe optional , much faster boost and less lag on exact same car . Replace fuel pump etc. 5sec to 60 is no problem .

8V Integrales (I have one too) have near-perfect, all-analog steering, like the E30 M3, 1st gen pre-facelift NSX, and 930 Carreras. But the Integrale is FWD, lacks the grunt of most of the others, and is comparatively as cheap as chips. While nearly all of them are rusted-through, like Chris said, they're worth saving, repairing, and driving. The most fun you can have in classic motoring, for anywhere near the price.

@@peterjennings8258 Yes! I hope someone in the know is able to tell Mr Harris: DO NOT PUT AN 8v BONNET ON IT!!! The G Kat is the 16v Grale complete with bonnet bulge, wider wheels and rear-bias torque split, but with 8v engine. 😬

[@st939]

@@peterjennings8258 Yes but it still has the 56%F-44%R torque split like to older 8Vs.

[@peterjennings8258]

@@st939 I would have to check that, as I don't think you are right there, I think it has the hydraulic operated pull clutch instead of the 8v cable, and the 16v torque split.....

[@st939]

@@peterjennings8258 In fact I had an 8V kat and changed the diff to the 16V one, I still have the original one (56/44) in my parts bin. No question, I'm right 😁😁

This is why we love cars, even if quite big quite important parts of them don't work they'll still make you feel happier than you've any right to. 😁

[@richardburhouse8725]

I love CH but I ran a 16v back in 92 and currently own an Evo 2 and the only person who would prefer an 8v to a 16v or EVO is someone who bought an 8v. I know that sounds daft and I appreciate that he didn’t want to spend the extra but come on…

[@peterjennings8258]

Agreed, I wouldn't swap my evo for an 8v.... although I wouldn't mind having an 8v as well!

Nothing wrong with dominating in motorsport and this legend proves it

[@ukwan]

I know you keep saying it isn't that fast but 190hp isn't slow is it? we're spoiled by modern cars. Anything with around 150hp per tonne, well that's not a slow car is it? It's probably capable of around 150mph. A slow car has 68hp Christopher. A really fast one has 300hp and anything above 500hp is utterly bonkers, the world of hyper cars has just exceeded comprehension and that Rimac Nivera has probably given you some kind of small traumatic brain haemorrhage. You don't have to justify 190hp, it's never about the power anyway with a cool car.

My first car at age 20 was an 8 valve turbo Thema. A dark blue one with dark blue alcantara and 300k kms on the clock. Bought it because I couldn't afford an Integrale at the time. ... Still can't... 😅 I loved it to bits and have owned 4 more since. All turbo’s. Recently bought an Ypsilon Elefantino Rosso as a daily excuse not to have to cycle and it's an amazingly fun little sporty hatch!

[@user-cv8ud8qo9f]

Glorious drivers cars ... they just have the perfect balance, they 4 wheel drift so well when you step over the line and you're dead right about the streering.

[@asantos84]

Such a nice car... the lines of the 8 and 16v are for me much more atractive than the evo models in my opinion. Sort that front bumper/grill out and it will be looking mint. Congrats with it.

[@yerrie1908]

Show up at a YT cars and coffee with a trillion dollar on hypercars and this is still a lot cooler

[@aggie3344]

Awesome car I had the evo 1 I owned it for 4 years most reliable car I’ve ever had i massively regret selling it to this day not because of the values but because there’s nothing else like it. Enjoy Chris your a very lucky guy

[@p0werl0ve]

I'd never pay 15k for this.....:))) Only if a house goes with it. I mean in South Italy

[@muthukumaranc]

Chris Harris videos are just phenomenal.

[@micb3rd]

I love that it is being used properly as a winter car. Enjoy the rest of the season Chris.

[@AlfaGrale]

At last, after a long time reading and watching all these reviews on Integrales this is a truly honest of how it is living with one

[@Tom-lf8hx]

Chris's brain may be scrambled by the rimac nevera and be blowen away at the tech and speed of them, but his love is for the classic (well i think it is ahah) this intergrale and his 2cv ❤❤👌

[@BanjoLuke1]

I confess this is a car I do not know at all.... But I love the way this man knows the reality of driving a very good car.... It is not about the numbers or the 0-60 time or how big the wing is.... Simpler is better and enough power is enough power.

[@MicLucia]

Absolutely love this vid. I have a 16 valve martini 6 integrale and I adore it

[@duanebosch9508]

I once saw a Ferrari club meeting in Cape Town (I live there) Loads of Ferrari's. A smattering of Maserati's. And a single Integrale. Everyone was crowded around the Lancia.

[@taponmyprofiletocontactme50064]

Thanks for watching send a direct message right away I will love to hear your thoughts .on it and for more enlightenment👆❤️**^

[@jeffselwood7212]

The 8v is the best of the bunch,i absolutely adore mine.

[@Paulo-wy3oe]

Great blast in car from the past for me. I was an 8v non cat owner nearly 30 years ago mainly because I couldn’t afford a 16v! Nevertheless probably the most fun you have with your trousers on in those days. Plus the local to me Bwlch road that Chris is on is always fun…

[@vwsyncrocountryscotland]

Brilliant review I always Wanted an intergrale but my volkswagen addiction hasn't let it happen yet I love driving my vw mk2 golf country syncro and dream of a rallye or intergrale one day.

[@antgibbons4454]

Couldn’t agree with the sentiment of “buy and drive what you can, while you can” any more. At 23, I feel it’s likely the opportunities for me to enjoy a variety of my favourite modern classics will be few and far between once I’ve got the spending power to even consider purchasing such cars. It’s probably why I’ve just bought a 187k mile, extensively modified, 12 owner, rusty E36 BMW 328i Sport as a dependable car to use through the winter. (Yes I know what I’ve described and dependable winter car aren’t exactly a match made in heaven) For anyone else who feels like the days of enjoying these cars are numbered, I urge you to go and make the silly purchase! Sure, there’s the anxiety of will it start in the morning, or what’s going to break this time, and the worry of parts cost and joys of fitting parts outside your flat on cold and dark winter evenings, BUT the memories, stories and experiences it will grant you will long outlast the years we will be able to enjoy and use such machines.

[@20gibbon]

My friend owned a really nice gunmetal grey 8v back in the day, restored by Tanc Barratt, not far from you ish. Tanc took us out in the Final edition one ( red with the yellow stripe ) while we where waiting for some work to be done on the grey one, What a car. I looked it up the other day and a good one will set you back 250k, bonkers but understandable. 🐵👌

[@johnchurch4705]

The maroon with the yellow stipe were built for the Japanese market, they also have a push button to start the car.

[@robinhunter4501]

One of my all time favourite cars, just hope I have the means to own one at some point

Loved this, thanks again Chris, one of my all time favourites ....you be keeping our dreams alive mate.
