Currently reading: My Lancia Delta HF Turbo was left to me in my grandad's will

This hot Delta may not be an Integrale, but it’s still fantastic fun to drive

While many car enthusiasts have taken the plunge and put their hand in their pocket for their chosen car, Simon Webling is one of the few who was lucky enough to inherit his, a Lancia Delta HF Turbo. 

"It was my grandfather's car," he says. "He bought it new in 1988, trading in his Lotus Esprit Turbo, which had been expensive to run and very unreliable. He taught me to drive in the Delta and we spent many happy times together with the car. So when, sadly, he died three years ago, it came into my hands. I couldn't see it be sold: it holds too many memories."
