Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (original designer of VW Golf, Delorean, Lotus Esprit, BMW M1 to name a few) the classy Lancia Delta LX laid the groundwork for the later Lancia Delta Integrale, 6 time world rally champion (unbeaten record) due to its balance of size, chassis, dynamic and handling. 1980 European Car of the Year, this 5 speed manual transmission 1500 LX was the top of the line (1300, 1300 LX, 1500 were also offered below it) and is a wonderful time capsule, unmodified, unmolested, accident-free, 1 owner for 35 years. Repainted once (about 15 years ago) the same original metallic gold color; the finish still looks fantastic. All original, well conserved and complete interior. Original “camel” wool seats by Zegna with matching door inserts and ceiling surface show no staining nor rips. District of Columbia clean and clear title. 2 original keys (+ 2 extras) Plenty of docs and records: original owner’s manual, original dealership sticker (and more original stickers throughout), official workshop book, original Lancia Delta LX brochure, original press photos, advertisements and more. All maintenance done (fluids, sparks, plugs, air filter, carb & complete ignition). Working 5 numerals odometer reads 31,915 KM but is likely 131,915KM (about 80,000 miles). Really stunning head turning car with unmistakable and iconic Giugiaro lines.
