Known issues by generation
The Lancia Delta Integrale models (1987-1994) present unique challenges for enthusiasts. Common issues include the notorious head gasket failure on the 2.0L 16v turbo variant, attributed to thermal stress derived from WRC conditions. Furthermore, the turbo plumbing and intercooler connections often suffer due to silicone hose hardening. Collectors should be aware of the Torsen rear LSD requiring necessary rebuilds, alongside Brembo brake maintenance. Body rust is a significant concern, particularly in the sills, rear arches, and floor-pan, due to insufficient zinc treatment in Italian manufacturing. Comprehensive VIN verification and documentation are essential for maintaining authenticity.

For example, Martini editions and Evoluzione variants can see values soar from $40k to $250k, depending on condition and provenance.
