Before anyone comments. AI did not contact the club as far as I was concerned to get any help with this article.

AI is in a state of change over from old editior to new and new MD and the club has these as complimentary members to continue to receive our club magazine....

That would explain why I didn't recognise any of the owners' names.....

Having just read through the article, which I found of great interest, what did the Delta/Integrale owners think of it?

I had a long chat with owner Mike Ward at NEC. In this instance they had all the cars they needed (4 from Walkers and 4 from CLS) so they did not contact us. Mike was at pains to stress he has other projects in the pipeline that will involve LMC member Lancias.

Hi
So I've ready the articles and nice so see that I appear in it along with Chris Owen and his Delta LX in pictures (along with Andy Collins) from the article in 2009 for the 30th Anniversary issue.

Having read a lot of the text on the integrale in books and seen many of the pictures quite a lot of the article contained photos I'd seen and text I'd read. It's probably very difficult to get photos of the limited editions though as there's few around.

Personally I feel the integrale 'is what it is' and you love it for that. So the buying guide says originality counts for a lot so for me modification doesn't ( unless it's replacing something like hoses for a more modern version). When bought mine it could be used everyday , now I doubt that is true given the age and I would suspect this is true of any older car.

But I enjoyed it and will be recording all the vehicles featured in the article in the club database for future reference ( if not there already ).
