Number 145 of only 310 'Martini 6' special edition examples manufactured
After
dominating the Constructors’ World Rally Championship for the sixth consecutive
year in 1992, Lancia chose to build a special limited-edition Delta HF
Integrale Evo 1 to commemorate the occasion — the ‘Martini 6’. At a cursory
glance, the new livery on the model may look similar to the previous ‘Martini
5’, but on closer inspection, the red-and-blue Martini stripe over its white
paintwork widens over the car’s bulging wheel arches in both the front and
rear, as opposed to the “Martini 5’ stripe, which only begins to flare on the
rear panel. Unique to the ‘Martini 6’, the model features three ‘World Rally
Champion’ decals on both the front doors and front bumper, along with the
appropriate numeral ‘6’; HF decals on each rear side panel; a large Lancia
crest decal on the roof; and the famous ‘Martini Racing’ script on the rear
spoiler.
Where the
exterior details are subtle, the interior changes are quite obvious. The
popular high-back Recaro bucket seats and interior trim were finished in a
unique turquoise Alcantara, with HF logos embossed on the headrests, and a new
steering wheel was fitted, along with a carbon-fibre-trimmed ‘Quickshift’ gear
lever, which features an individual plaque inscribed with the car’s unique
serial number. For an improved feel, Lancia fitted Teflon bushes to the gear
linkage.
According
to its Lancia Certificato Di Origine, this ‘Martini 6’ finished production on
30 November 1992 and was registered for road use on 21 December, before being
sold to Trentinauto Srl on 23 December. Over the holiday season, on 28 December,
a Mr Pietro Paolo Rosolen purchased this Delta ‘Martini 6’— a truly great way
to end the year. The Guanzate, Italy, native put just 7,309km on the clock by 1994
and sold the car on 24 February 1998 to Fratelli Mariani Sas, of Milan. After
being sold to Giuseppe Cominetti in November 1999, the car remained in the
Bergamo area for 10 years, until it was sold to Giuseppe Lisa of Salerno.
After
spending nearly a decade on the Gulf of Salerno, we purchased this ‘Martini 6’ in
early 2018 . This ‘Martini 6’ is currently presented in beautiful condition
after being fully serviced, including a new cambelt, and detailed by specialists
in Italy. The car is accompanied by its tool kit, jack, manuals, service book
and warranty card, along with its Lancia Classiche Certificate of Origin, which
confirms its production and specification. Commemorating Lancia’s incredible
six consecutive World Rally Championships, this ‘Martini 6’ represents a rare
opportunity to own a piece of the Lancia legend.
