Overview of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II
This red Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione II, chassis code L31E5, is a left hand drive dealer import with a five speed manual gearbox, permanent four wheel drive and a beige interior. It will be sold at USS HAA Kobe on 17 October 2026 as lot 82068, graded 4 overall with an interior grade of B. The odometer reads 50,978 km, which is approximately 31,676 miles.
The listing carries 2024, but that is the date of first registration in Japan, December 2024 (Reiwa 6), and not the year the car was built. The Evoluzione II belongs to the final phase of Delta Integrale production in the early 1990s. The sheet marks the car as bought in from a private owner, and it is entered in the Imported Car Prime Corner. The start price is ¥8,800,000. The live minimum bid is shown in the price panel on this page.
The sheet is honest about the shortcomings: oil seepage, a faulty air conditioning system, cabin wear and some repair marks across the front. Even so, a Delta Integrale Evoluzione II with this mileage and a clean exterior is a scarce thing to see in an auction hall.
The Drive Review
The Delta Integrale was built to win rallies, and the Evoluzione II is the most developed road version. The 2.0 litre four cylinder turbocharged engine has 16 valves and an intercooler, and it delivers its power with a distinct turbo rush. Below the boost threshold it is docile. Once the turbo is working it pulls hard, and the car feels much quicker than the compact hatchback body suggests.
The transmission is a five speed manual with a long, mechanical shift. The permanent four wheel drive system sends power to both axles and gives the car outstanding traction on wet or loose roads. The steering is unassisted in feel and communicative, and the narrow body, upright seating and big glass area make it easy to place on a road. Next to a modern hot hatch it is lighter in feel, noisier and more demanding. There is no stability control and no electronic aids to speak of, so the reward comes from the driver doing the work.
The sheet shows power steering, which is typical for the model. Nothing on the sheet comments on how the engine, gearbox or clutch behave, so their condition is not confirmed. A road test and a proper inspection after arrival are sensible.

Vehicle Specifications
The manufacturer is Lancia, the model is the Delta and the grade is HF Integrale Evoluzione II. The chassis code on the sheet is E-L31E5 and the frame number is ZLA831AB000585389. The body is a five door hatchback seating five, with a length of 390 cm, a width of 177 cm and a height of 136 cm. The engine is a 2,000 cc petrol unit, the transmission is a five speed floor manual and the drive is 4WD. The car is left hand drive and is listed as a dealer import.
The exterior colour is red, recorded as original, with no colour change. The factory colour code box is blank. The interior is beige. First registration was in December 2024, and the Japanese registration is Kobe 301 ru 4703. The odometer reads 50,978 km, which is approximately 31,676 miles. The recycling deposit is recorded as ¥13,970. The rounded mileage in the feed has been replaced here by the sheet reading.
Factory Features and Equipment
The sheet circles genuine alloy wheels, power steering and power windows, and marks air conditioning, although the inspector notes that the air conditioning is faulty. The photographs show silver alloy wheels with a mesh style design, vented bonnet panels, a roof mounted rear spoiler and an Integrale badge on the tailgate. The interior shows beige cloth seats, a black three spoke steering wheel and a full set of analogue gauges, including a boost gauge in the centre. There is an aftermarket looking head unit in the centre console.
Navigation and ETC are not marked on the sheet. The spare tyre drawing has no marks on it. A spare wheel is not confirmed either way. Owner manuals, the service book and the spare key are dealt with in the translation below.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The inspector's comments are as follows. Oil seepage is noted, with no location given on the sheet. The steering wheel is scuffed, and the inspector adds a question mark over whether it is an aftermarket item. The cabin is partly dirty and scratched. The seat edges are scuffed and dented. The wheels are scratched. There are small scratches and small dents on the body.
The points to note state that the air conditioning is faulty. They also say the owner's manual, the service book and the spare key will follow at a later date. The sales points record that the car was bought in from a private owner and that a spare key is present. These two statements do not fully agree, so it is not clear whether the spare key travels with the car or is to be supplied later. Please ask the auction house through Autoselecta. The new car service book box is marked as none, yet the notes mention a service book to come later, so whether any service history exists is also not confirmed. Neither point is confirmed on the sheet.
No comments are made on engine noise, gearbox operation, clutch, coolant leaks, warning lights, rust or underbody condition. The sheet does not record an accident history in words.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram shows nine marks. A1, a small scratch, appears on the front bumper, the left front door, the left rear door, the right rear door and the rear bumper. The right side mark is read as the right rear door, although its leader line ends near the rear door and quarter area, so the exact position is slightly uncertain.
W2, a repair mark or panel wave, appears on the left front wing, the right front wing and the bonnet. W2 is a visible irregularity in the panel or paint, and often indicates that the panel has been repaired or repainted. Three adjoining front panels carrying the same mark suggest work at the front of the car. The sheet does not say what happened and does not use the replaced panel mark. In the photographs the paint looks even and glossy, but a trained eye on the car itself would tell more. The windscreen is marked with stone chips, noted in Japanese as tobi with grade A.
Overall this reads as usable enthusiast condition, closer to the better end of that range than to restoration. The marks are small, but the front repair marks and the oil seepage deserve attention.
Interior Condition
The interior is graded B. The inspector notes a partly dirty and scratched cabin, scuffed and dented seat edges and a scuffed steering wheel, possibly aftermarket. The photographs show beige cloth seats that look tidy, a black dashboard and door cards in good order, and a clean footwell. The black steering wheel does show visible wear.
The gauge photograph shows the odometer reading 050978, consistent with the sheet, and two green indicator lights lit. Headlining condition, smell and smoke are not mentioned on the sheet. The air conditioning does not work, so budget for that if you want it.
Japanese Auction Grades
The auction grade of 4 is above average for a used car, with the interior grade B meaning fair, with wear that is usually visible. In practice a 4 means the inspector found only light faults. Grades are an independent guide and not a mechanical guarantee.
Model History
The Delta Integrale grew out of the first generation Lancia Delta and carried Lancia to six consecutive World Rally Championship manufacturers titles from 1987 to 1992. The road cars were developed alongside the rally cars, with wide wheel arches, a turbocharged 2.0 litre engine and a four wheel drive system that stayed permanently engaged. The 16 valve cars arrived in 1989 and the Evoluzione versions followed in the early 1990s.
The Evoluzione II is the last of the line. Its lineage includes the roof spoiler, the wider arches of the Evoluzione cars and vented bonnet. This one was imported to Japan new or nearly new, according to the dealer import note on the sheet, and carries the Integrale badge on the tailgate. It was first registered in Japan in December 2024.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The Delta Integrale is one of the defining rally homologation cars of the period. It combines motorsport success, a turbocharged engine, a manual gearbox, four wheel drive and an Italian design that is instantly recognisable. Good examples have been hard to find for years, because many were used hard, modified or lost to rust. The Evoluzione II, as the final and most developed version, is the most sought after.
A left hand drive Delta with modest mileage, original red paint and a clean exterior is the sort of car international enthusiasts seek. Please note that import rules differ between countries, so check the age and registration rules in your own country before bidding. Values can move in either direction and this should not be seen as an investment.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
The Delta Integrale's weak points are well known. The turbocharger and its oil feed deserve attention, as do oil leaks from the engine and turbo area. The sheet's oil seepage comment, with no location given, should be investigated. The cambelt and tensioners need to be changed on schedule, and the history for that is not confirmed here. Check the clutch and gearbox for wear and the transfer and differential units for noise. Electrics and switchgear can be temperamental on cars of this age.
Rust is a classic Lancia issue. Look at the sills, the wheel arches, the scuttle, the windscreen surround and the floor. Because W2 marks appear on both front wings and the bonnet, inspect those panels for paint thickness, filler and the finish underneath. Look at the faulty air conditioning, which may involve the compressor and the pipes. Ask whether the spare key, manual and any service book exist.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japanese cars are usually kept in climate controlled garages, driven gently and inspected openly at auction. A Delta Integrale first registered in Japan in December 2024 with 50,978 km is a very different proposition from many tired road cars elsewhere.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale, but they are still used vehicles. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide and not a mechanical warranty. An older performance car such as this Delta may need servicing, maintenance or refurbishment after purchase.
Please note the key inspector warnings again: oil seepage, a faulty air conditioning system, W2 repair marks on both front wings and the bonnet, stone chips on the windscreen, a scuffed and possibly aftermarket steering wheel, scratched wheels, a scuffed and dented seat edge and general cabin wear. The owner's manual, the service book and the spare key are marked to follow at a later date, and it is not confirmed whether they come with the car. All bids must be submitted before 9PM UK time the evening before auction.
