The Lancia Delta I is one of the Lancia entries the open record knows by name and by date — in 1979, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable.

Where it sits

Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the Mazda RX-7, the Audi Quattro — show what else the money bought that year. Its Lancia stablemates include the Lancia 037 and the Lancia 2000.

What it costs now

There is no federal ownership record for the Lancia Delta I — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.

The record

The open record for the Lancia Delta I carries no verified engine, output, weight or price yet. MotorJury does not fill gaps with guesses; this entry gives the model a home in the catalogue and grows as sourced specifications and photographs arrive. Corrections: corrections@motorjury.com.
