Produced in 1985, this Lancia Delta S4 Stradale, chassis 0017, engine 0059 and Savio number 3032, was sold new in London by Coombs of Guildford on August 4, 1987, to one Paul Dawson. Priced at £44,442 ($70,048), as confirmed by the original invoice from the file, the Delta was painted Nero Metallizzato with Alcantara Verde upholstery. It was acquired by Mr. Jean-Christian G. and imported to France in 1990, when it had 2,420 km on the clock. The current owner, a friend of Mr. G., has had the car since 2000 and keeps it in a heated garage, continuing to run and maintain it regularly, ensuring its conservation over the years. Although it only has 5,600 km on the clock today, it is up to date with its services and was driven for the photo shoot for our catalog.
Accompanied by a weighty file on its history, it will also be sold with its French registration document (carte grise) and all its original accessories, including its two keys, user manual, wallet, spare-parts catalog, and its toolkit, spare wheel and jack.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a homologated model, one that has never been modified or even repainted during its life. Cosseted by a loving owner, this model is exceptionally well preserved, including its underbody, photos of which are available in the condition report.
