Just imported from Japanese collection with low original mileage - only 58K miles.  Overall great condition, detailed service history.  An excellent example of a true legend in World Rally Competition, this is a Japanese market car that we have just legally imported into the US under the 25-year rule.  Amazing fun to drive and very rare in the US. 

This EVO 1 comes from Japan with only 94K kilometers (58K miles), and in excellent, very original condition.  Japan market cars are typically well maintained due to stringent local regulations and this car is a fine example.  There is a detailed service history from day 1 and all maintenance is up to date including recent inspection and belt service. Many key components have been attended to including brakes, radiator, driveshaft boots, refinished rims and new tires all around. Engine bay is clean and all in order. An aftermarket blow off valve has been fitted.

The car starts, idles, runs very well and is in overall sound mechanical condition.  Steering is tight, smooth and accurate, the brakes are very sure and strong with a solid pedal.  Everything works, no mechanical or electrical issues.

The dramatic metallic black gloss exterior finish is in very good condition. Trim and weather seals in nice shape and the body is straight and solid.  There is no current rust and no evidence of prior rust repairs, nor any stress cracks in the unibody or exterior panels.    

The dashboard is like new with an impressive collection of standard instruments, all working as expected.  The original Evo 1 leather-wrapped steering wheel fitted to the steering column.  All upholstery is the rare Mint color Alcantara material and in very fine condition.  The original space saver spare and tire change kit are included.  

The 1993 EVO 1 version of the Delta Integrale is the final homologation model produced and considered by many to be the best all-around version.  This rally homologation model carries a 2.0 liter turbocharged DOHC engine delivering 210 horsepower and 221 pound-feet of torque through a 5-speed manual transmission to all four wheels. 0 - 60 acceleration is quoted at 5.7 seconds with a top speed of 137mph.  Roadholding, agility and overall performance are of a very high order. This is a thrilling car to drive.

The turbocharged and intercooled 2.0-liter DOHC four-cylinder is transversely mounted and sends power to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. The AWD system features a 57/43 torque split, Ferguson viscous coupling, and a Torsen rear differential. Running character features a strong and linear torque curve with an exhilarating top end surge and an exciting exhaust note that is distinctly Italian.

In Europe the Delta Integrale EVO 1 has earned a good reputation and is generally regarded to be reliable and dependable.  Parts availability is quite good and, despite the advanced technology, the EVO 1 is considered simple and straightforward to service.

Never sold in the USA, imported under the 25-year rule.  These are very exciting cars to drive and fairly practical to own.  The Delta EVO I is one of the hottest, hot hatchbacks ever built.  Very rare globally and virtually unknown in America, they have become very popular with savvy collectors recently and investment value is promising.

Your chance to own a true legend in World Rally Competition.  An incredible driving experience. A unique and enjoyable car in excellent condition, very well maintained with no known mechanical issues.
