- GUMBALL 3000 MEETS LANCIA DELTA
My new (old) Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 1 is finished.. almost.. Just a few final checks from @matarmstrongbmx a.k.a. the maestro of rebuilds to make sure it's ready to be released into the wild. Thanks for the tips Mat and hopefully I've the car justice.
If you don't know the Lancia Delta name, well, this is the car that won 11 yes ELEVEN World Rally Championships - including 5 Driver titles. This little rallying hero was then homologated into a road car form as well as famously into the Sega Rally game we all played back in the day.
There are many like but this one is mine - she's been beautifully restored by the team at Tanc Barratt - Lancia specialists and good eggs. The suspension has been beefed up with fresh joints by Powerflex so it's goodbye to creak and wobble. Shock absorbers by KW reunite the restored chassis with rally-grade road holding and the Tarox brakes providing stopping power to bring it back to earth.
220bhp will become 285bhp once it's run in (and .. the ECU is plugged in LOLZ)
This was a great day and a proper event by Gumball and the Caffeine and Machine brothers. Thanks also to Piston Gin for letting me play and congrats on your insanely noisy Delta. Stay beautiful folks :)
Very nice Lancia you got there Ben, you should be proud of that one!
thank you - yeah I love it. Testing should be complete by Friday
@@BenCollinsDrivesnow that it’s been owned by Ben Collins it must be worth another 20k 😮
for most of us born in the 70s lancia delta intergrale always been a dream car watching world championship rallies
That red headed bloke was trying hard to insert himself in the video. 😂
I couldn’t watch till the end because of that annoying fella.
And every video. Very punchable face on Daddy’s money.
That ginger kid is so annoying!
He does that often 😂
Ginger kid taking the mickey out of your Integrale,doesn't realise what a piece of history he is sat in there.
Actually pissing me off watching him - what a bell end.
The ginger kid is a prick.. I’ve tried to watch his channel but he’s very annoying
His need to constantly shout to try to get attention does my nut in whenever he's in Mat's videos
They're all bellends. I don't know why the likes of Ben Collins waste their time with them. @chrisatherton9641
LOVE Lancia Delta's!
Tell Mat the wobbly seat bit there is actually an extendable part of the seat cushion, it will actually move forwards a bit independent of the seat, making it more comfortable for those with longer legs.
I was screaming that at the screen. Not a clue.
All recaro seats had them
Yup, it's called a Knee Bolster. Which oddly enough I kept repeating aloud when watching Mat say "What is this?".
Love the wheels on the Lancia they bring it up to date without being shouty, pure rally legend that you hardly ever saw on the road and even less now
The Abarth wheels are awesome - slightly bigger diameter but with these shocks you can adjust the height no problem so you dont neck out inside the wheel arches
A couple of houses ago someone at the bottom of my street had two in their driveway. A red one and a yellow one , terrific cars .
@@BenCollinsDrives Compomotive
its not even my car and i feel uneasy with matt sat in it lol
haha
For very good reason. He can ride bikes like a demon, but can’t drive for shite.
😂
Poor Matt, doesn't have an 8 or 9 tenths driving head, he's more like Clarkson, MORE POWER...FULL SEND 🤣🤣 consequences be damed lol
I love Mat, but i think he (and especially his mates) don’t quite know what this machine is, and how it, and Lancia changed the face of motoring and motorsport forever. It’s a BEAST, and it trumps a lot of what he’s got in his garage, McLaren or otherwise.
You are soooo right
Trumps his cars how? Not a huge fan of matt and These are cool old school cars but let's be real, they're slower, less reliable, cheaper, etc. You Can't let personal feelings distort reality.
@@pauliewalnuts240 I would say that you are not a full on petrolhead then. It’s not about how fast it is, or how reliable it is, it’s definitely not about fuel economy either. It’s about the whole experience, the sound the smells and the feel. I have a Integrale 16v and if I haven’t come away from a drive, where I am not fatigued, sweating and buzzing. The car smells of hot oil and unburnt fuel. Then I haven’t driven it properly. After all it is full on, fire breathing race car, built for the road. Unlike homologation cars of today.
Yeah now I feel pretty good about myself that I know a little more than Matt about some cars
They probably don't, Freddie might do as he is a full on car geek 😁
Just seemed a lot of good mannered pi$$taking & bants 👍😁
Damn Ben, while the Stig was a fun character, you're a great personality and wish you got more air time back in the day. I really enjoy your material. Beautiful Lancia by the way.
@@usmcplu he is a very articulate, cultured and self confident young man, with plenty of real world experience, unlike the five minutes of fame merchants fluttering around like moths to a flame
Thank you - been a sweet project and getting to know the Tanc Barratt crew has been a privilege. Real artisan craftsmanship
Fantastic Lancia Delta. Love the leather - that roof lining is cool
Reminds me of 80's Ferraris - Italian sportscars have a little extra something
My dad had the Thema 2.0 16v turbo as a company car. It was a cossie killer that i loved as you never saw another 1. but the Intergrale was the dream.
Beautiful Delta Ben! Only keep that rift raft out of it, you don't need Matt's opinion.
Rift raft? Wtf is that? I think you mean riff raff
@@composimmonite3918 'rift-raft' ??? - must be the gap between planks on a raft. 😂
The panel gaps are "period correct" for this model/manufacturer. Ask anyone working on Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Lancia bodies of the 1970s, 80s and 90, they will all confirm that "You can immediately see it has had body work done because all the panel gaps are even" on a car that had a restoration done to it.
hahahah,Savage...and highly believable
The colour coding on French car wiring looms depended on what was nearest, not the colour it was meant to be..
Spot on. The door gaps on my Integrale are...not the best to say the least. Zero accident damage. Just the way they were.
The Lancia is a quick classy motor car, unlike Matts chavmobiles
Spoken like a true poor
True!
Agreed can't stand him
TRUE
I think Matt is restoring a BMW e24, so give him a break.
This week I have seen 4 intagrales and 1 s4, 4 stratos and many many more! Fos smashed it this year! One of my all time favourite cars!!!
You know, having been born in the UK and then spending most of my life from teenager on in the US, whenever I return to the UK I am overwhelmed with sadness when I go to motorsport events, as I realize how much of the beautiful European car culture and knowledge I was never exposed to; the Lancias, Evo's et al. 😔 For me it was always big, lumbering V8's with massive displacements. god how much I missed, but I must say, my UK brothers and sisters have been so gracious and willing to educate me without making me feel a complete knob.
Man I love a Lancia, I literally never get tired of content featuring them. Your Delta looks fabulous, hope your team can also get you in some of the crazy restomods people are coming out with like the Maturo Stradale or the Kimera 037. Still keeping my fingers crossed at someone coming around with a properly proportioned Stratos remake so I can watch a proper driver make that short wheelbase dance while it tries to kill them lol
Thought I saw a Stratos resto somewhere - yes keen to try to new modernos although.. I think I'm happier with the original gangster Delta
@@BenCollinsDrives so there is the MAT New Stratos which uses a Ferrari 430 as a donor car, but I have yet to find someone building a top-to-bottom custom Stratos similar to the Kimera 037 or Totem GT Super.
Not that I can afford any of those but I would like to see a spark of the lunacy involved in making a 218cm wheelbase mid-engine rally car brought back to life for the modern era.
You’ve got a stunning motor there Ben , an absolute legend of a car on a side note how hell you put up with that ginger headed prat I will never know
Stunning car Ben, an absolute classic.
Had to go back and watch the video from 9 months ago were you picked it up and dropped it off for some work. It's come a long way and looking mint.
Fowler desperate for attention in this one 🤣
The definition of a Try-Hard
As always 😂
I was once loaned a Delta Integrale for a day when I was younger thanks to a super kind Fiat / Lancia specialist who I used to go to. My jaw was on the floor every time I took my terrible little Fiat into them and I think the garage owner felt sorry for me.
Within about 15 minutes half of the interior fell apart and one of the window mechanisms failed, so I had to use plastic shims to hold it up for the rest of the day. Life changing experience driving it around though.
You borrowed, someone else would have something loaned.
hey from Dublin ,
Stig your a legend in these islands , integrally is one of my top 5 and your one is really EPIC , i love it ,
here in Ireland we have a name for spanners like this ,
we call them "Fecking Ejjetts" just why did you let that numpty touch your Lancia .
dont do that again .
Poor Fowler, was trying his best to fit in.
Don’t know who Fowler is but he made himself look a real knob trying to make smart comments on Ben’s’ Lancia.
Trying and not succeeding.
@@th3b0untyhunter social media influencers !
It's a cargo cult created and held up by straw
@@markdawson4625 He is a complete bellend in any video lol
It’s not his natural habitat….. not sure where is.
Stunning car
Mat Armstrong, I’ve been with you since the car park and I love that you are now everywhere on my youtube feed living your best life. Well done man HWBT! 💪
✊ Ben, great to see you drive the Delta. This is for me the perfect car once all the “Spaghetti-Niggles” (aka Giovanni was watching calcio and he’s still tired so sorry for the somewhat approximative quality…) have been sorted out. Next try to drive a Maserati Ghibli Cup of the 1997 model year… this thing is ballistic even for todays standards. Ask Harry Metcalfe about this Masterpiece as he owned one… could be a good car for Mat too as he’s keen on driving analog cars… oh and that ginger haired guy has no clue but lots of Daddy’s money, so he’s dismissed for automotive incompetence…
Ben that is a gorgeous Lancia, I am green with envy living here in the states, we don't ever see these beauties. At least not often. I would get weak in the knees if I was able to get close to this. Well done Ben. Thanks for restoring this iconic car and keeping it on the road for us to enjoy.
I'm hoping to bring it to the US at some point, maybe for SEMA or something like that. Would love to see Jay Leno's reaction to a car like this
Totally agree. Here in Canada we never got the better UK version of a few awesome rides. Lancia, Cosworth Chevette and more.
Funny how the youngsters dont have a clue about old school pocket rockets
The Integrale is one of the greats. But hearing that lot pick it apart is comedy gold. Congratulations, Ben, on getting yourself a champion road and track icon.
Ben, you need to bring the Stig's Chinese cousin with you next time. You took the abuse very well my friend. Very nice example of the Lancia Delta and can't wait to see a video of you taking it through the paces.
What a car, reminds me off sega rally days when i was a child, there used to be a company that dealt with these not far from bewdley Worcestershire, i was gutted the day i drove past and the dealership had gone, these cars are awesome
Sega rally awesome - I should probably do a feature on my gaming channel - it still rocks. Recently I bought an "Outrun" machine - remember those.?
@@BenCollinsDrives I remember outrun on the Sega game gear with the little red ferrai
@@BenCollinsDrivesSega Rally still rocks. The Celica vs Inter. Never forget when that came to my local arcade. Many 20c coins were spent!
I went the other way in Sega Rally and fell in love with the Celica. I have owned my GT-Four for 12 years now although wouldn't mind a Integrale to go with it :P
Congratulations Ben it's a cracking job this from someone who is old enough to have driven one or two of these when they were new,used to go low flying along St Mary's loch in the boarders ,in the ones I drove.and the odd sprint on The portway under the bridge.
sounds like a ripper road
Lovely car Ben, tell Matt to shove his comments 😂😂
He's such a nobber.
haha - he has x-ray vision
@@samuelgarrod8327mat was sucking milk out of a bottle when he delta integrale was competing on wrc stages, so I wouldn't take too much notice of him. He is the sort of man who would put carbon decals on a quattro sport!
I’m a old Lancia Delta owner . Let’s face it , You could pick a brand new one to pieces . They had other qualities luckily
I love how good of friends BC and MA seem to be
The car looks amazing Ben 👏 Love the Banter between the lads 😂
I love the Lancia Delta, iv had my 2 1.6 HF Turbo's for over 25 years!!!
As a kid growing up around hot hatches, that car was so out of reach. The closest I got was one overtaking me in my Cossy. Such a proper car. Very smart Ben.
think thats what put the hook in me. Remember seeing them but they were unobtanium
@@BenCollinsDrives Such a stunning car, really pleased for you Ben. Proper bedroom wall poster car. Now you get to own one. Superb.
All you need is Tarrox drilled grooved discs, BWE chip, FE springs, boost controller to 1.2 bar, performance air filter and a nice exhaust and the car is perfect. Did this on my cars, apart from my 8v which gave a high inlet lift cam . You can hustle down a twisty and blow your brains out, then give it a wash and just look at it with a glass of your favourite.
Love a Delta. Stunning car.
it a amazing car, paint job looks great, all the small tinkering jobs are always expected.
always loved the Intergrales but living in Ireland ive only ever seen two in the flesh... definitely a unicorn around these parts.... best of luck with it Ben
Use to work for lancing and we were the biggest selling dealer in England and got to drive a few of these. Absolutely brilliant cars. 👏👏
still I can't figure out how to actually contact Lancia
@@BenCollinsDrives isn't there a lancia owners club??
Dear Matt, that was the holy grail of eighties go to cars.... Thank you Ben Collins.... great post.
Glad you enjoyed it
That is absolutely stunning, really wish that id have bought one many years ago and dry stored it, i wonder if there will ever be a future classic to compare with this, i doubt it
Beautiful car and a true legend - worth every penny. I always wanted one, but i didn´t dared and sticked to my EVO´s. The Deltas have such a bad reputation in terms of reliability. Makes me happy everytime i see one of those. Looking forward to upcoming videos.
I love the delta . I used to have a 1.3 and longed for a inter. You have something special
Old coupe/sport/sedan quattros, e30 m3 and Delta are my all time favorit cars. I only got one Typ81 quattro and love to have delta at some point. Just love those boxy bodys ❤ Nice Job Ben and all involved 👌👍
Have always loved these cars , good job, always ongoing !
“It’s not carb , it’s ECU “ I think he meant EFI
(electronics fuel injection ) which does to be fair require an ECU 😂. We all mess up on camera it’s all good. I would be very happy with this car
Lancia's drive so nice. I've driven a few over the years. Have fun!
Legendary motor, surprised Matt and the boys don’t have a clue about it. My all time favourite rally car, wish I could afford one!
They're clueless about most things.
Took my Dads mates Martini HF turbo for a quick spin ( aged 18 keys left in it ) ... Such a bolloxing when i tried to sneakily return it .... John took me to one side and asked " did you enjoy that .. ? " Halo car for me ...
I got to drive a mates evo 1 when they first came out. He told me to drive it like an escort and hang the back end out. I was Mightily impressed with the handling and how it went. Great car
Perhaps I might try and find a Lancia that needs some work...a lot of work. I owned a rusty 1980's Alfa 33 4 carb pocket rocket and never had so much fun on four wheels ( sometimes 3). It needed constant welding, electric window switches on dash started producing magic smoke, head gasket leaked, gearbox got stuck in reverse in the middle of no where (wooden mallet fixed that) but all these repairs were simple and weekend jobs. Very quick for a 1.3L and left MK1 Golf GTI's and XR3I's in the dust, the drivers in disbelief. You aren't a true petrol head until you have owned an Italian car.
Absolutely love it, one of my favourite all time cars. I should have bought the one I went to see for £10k back about 1995
Brave man Ben. Makes for great telly! You can't knock Mat's courage.
Yes you can. Everything about him is knockable.
Love it. Had Delta HF Turbo. Couldn't stretch to an Integrale. Drove one and loved it.
It’s amazing how the actual Stig from Top Gear an actual professional driver is keenly asking Mat about his car that was built before Mat was born…. And Mat isn’t even a trained mechanic. Learned everything along with us as he went. And the stig is genuinely interested in what Mat has to say. I think that’s cool af
Have a massive love of these things never been in a position to own one as they have always been out of reach for me but mid/late 2000s when I worked in a small independent garage a friend of the owner booked his evo 2 in for a running problem (ended up being incorrectly gapped crank sensor) I got the pleasure of being the test driver every time we tryed something to correct the fault! Problem was everything I've driven or owned since felt dull! Also got to drive his hf turbo 1.6T and his Thema which was a 2.9 if I remember right which while both were special cars the evo was incredible! ❤👌
The bracket for the wiper motor with patina could be re-zinc coated. Same goes for every bolt if you wanted to go that far.
is that what he pointed at ? I had no idea what that thing was. I'm fine with it.. at least for now :)
Matts got some great cars , but thats a legend
Always liked Matt's enthusiasm, another great video Ben! 💪🏻
Beautiful car, always had a soft spot, always wanted one.
I saw one of these rust away in front of my eyes growing up. Knowing how legendary they were from top gear, but being too young to do anything about it really did hurt. Especially now!
who the hell are these people?
Matt is alright sometimes, but holy smokes that other guy with him was annoying.
Ben Fowler really is a try hard twat.
My childhood beloved car!
She's gorgeous. Miss mine like crazy. Hindsight is 20/20 😊❤
Looking forward to the track day, Ben😃👍
You and me both!
Congratulations Ben!! Legend car. The choice of wheels is perfection too. Don't forget it's a Lancia, so build quality isn't Mercedes S class level.
Very pretty car Ben.
Armstrong knows how to make successful yoooooowwtuuuub videos. He knows twice fuck all about proper cars and proper driving
I loved driving my Beta Coupe, I can only imagine what a treasure the delta would be to own and drive.
Beautiful car Ben you’ve clearly got good taste 👍👍👍👍
As Ben said it was a unicorn type car back in the day. Love the styling and is an iconic car. Would have one over a supercar anyday.
One of the best cars from that era. The Lancia Delta Integral turbo 4 wheel drive.
I’m sure I recall from back in the day the HF used to idle a bit off beat and sound like it was missing.. same as a Ducati ❤
Love Integrales, but...I blew mine up, spun the main bearings, £4k rebuild...and then some daft.bint stopped unexpectedly in front of me and it ate a few more grand...so it had to go.
Absolutely amazing cars when going though, shockingly slow in a straight line, coming from bikes....but OMFG that chassis just laughed at my meagre skills, it just begged for sideways action in the wet, and please throw some.gravel on that roundabout.. In fact, my overriding memory was thinking that it was largely wasted on public roads, as she was capable of so much more
best looking instrument cluster ever!
Ben is such a nice guy, he even lets people finger his car.
I have always loved those cars.Once you have it tuned properly I would be surprised if Mat can do a better time around the old Top Gear track in anything that he owns than you can in that beauty.
Ben your car looks Hot well done on the colour👍👍👍👍
Poor Ben hanging around with these bell ends! I hope the views are worth it.
Mat is a car legend in the making, he has a ton of knowledge already, and he's happy to help a friend.
Iconic car, solid investment, nice to drive!
Damn that Lancia looks awesome!!
Ben you are smashing it 👌
There We Are Then Armstrong
That's a beautiful car, Ben.
Matt sat in it, it's a Cat S now 🙈
im so fucking tired of youtube suggesting video's with matt armstrong in them.
I’d swap any of Mat’s cars for a Lancia Delta Integrale in Martini colours. Except maybe the McLaren and the GT3. Those beauties are the rally poster cars. Sega Rally Championship is as close as I will ever get to driving one though. 😢
The Lad at the Garage I go to bought an Integrale a few years ago just after he'd left school for not a lot of money.
At the time he said it's going be worth some money in a few years time.
Dunno if he still has it but last time I spoke to himI he still had it.
Are Bevis and butthead back on tv ?
What would matt Armstrong know about 90s classics, Mr Ben Colin’s, THE OG STIG that car is what we mortals dream of, no mater what condition, I know it’s all banter for views, get the cool kids to click for the algorithm, BUT Mr stig with your knowledge who cares what these you tubers with clout think, keep up the good work Mr stig
He's the second Stig, don't lie.
That’s my Lord Blu Evo 2 in the background 🙌
Matt asking if it's carbed, wow ginger moment right there.
Awesome car, looks lovely....... the workshop at the end... how many Deltas😲
I put money on I could pick faults with all of Matts cars and if you're tracking yours, then it isn't going to be a trailer queen anyway!
To be honest every car will have an issue or three if old and definitely new! After having been in car cleaning, detailing of used and brand new cars including working at the aftermath of bodyshop repairs for many years you get an eye for blemishes and boy it's amazing what normal people can't see 👀
Ben I absolutely love your Lancia I wish I had one over here in the states❤
talk to Tanc!
