Atkinson purchased this Lancia back in May 2021 and has clearly loved driving it as it has covered around 2,000 miles since.

However, the car is in mint condition and only has around 55,000 miles on the clock.

It was originally sold to Japan where it was meticulously looked after with a superb service history.

Collectors are on the lookout for good examples as only around 4,000 were ever made.

These Lancia Delta road cars were built as homologation models for Lancia’s hugely successful rally cars.

The lucky buyer is getting a true rally car for the road and a classic car that should be driven rather than locked away.

The advert reads: ‘Originally supplied to Japan, this car was then selected and imported back to the UK in 2011 with all duties paid.

‘It had been chosen for its rare colour of Lord Blue which is extremely smart and also its comprehensive Japanese service history.’
