The s series is even rarer than a limited, buy one whilst you can!
So I took to google to search for the delta. I had no idea how identical they are to the bravo. Same switches, vents, driving position, if you look at it from the side it's exactly the same shape and everything. I'm gobsmacked

Quick check on that and I reckon there was only about 700 or so Deltas' here - reckoning that this new a car would mean theres none hidden as SORN. I have seen a couple broken already after having been written off so the cars extremely rare already here.
I'll wager mines the only one thats been fully 'Lancia'ed' in the country as well
I get stopped every other day about the car - rarely seen a car get so much attention let alone one that a supposed family humdrum..........

Get it 'Lancia'ed rosso............. I get asked about mine and the Lancia brand all the time.........I was in Devon last month and watched from our window a chap actually stop his car in the road to get out and look around the car. So much so I popped out to say hello and he turned out to be a Fulvia Zagato/Beta Coupe owner. Going by those figures I'd say the first year sales had the generated first year interest. They cannot have sold that many outside of Italy in that caseI have seen two others since they were launched here (and subsequently withdrawn)......
The only thing that I haven't changed is the Chrysler 'wing' etched in to the glass - and that will be removed shortly with an etching kit. Insurance is not an issue. They are only badges in as much as a sticker in any window. The Chrysler logo that lights up in the dash briefly when you get in the car is impossible to remove but I can live with that for one second. And the 'wing' in the headrests - no-one associates that with Chrysler without the logo anyway so again have left (though I have someone in Italy on the lookout for a Breaking Italian Delta!) The chap who stopped to view it in Devon considered himself to be a dedicated 'Lancisti' and even he did not realise it was a UK-spec'ed Chrysler'ed Delta.... The main cost in changing was the front Grille which came in around £100 delivered. Definately worth it IMO

The Airbag I just removed the old badge and added a Stick-on Lancia.
Sat-Nav would be difficult but I don't have. Though you can source Lancia discs from Italy.
Sill kick plates - I sourced a Printer who made me up some LANCIA Martini stripes to cover the Chrysler badge. Look almost OE to me - I'll post an image asap.
And yes Panda........ As long as its mechanically not altered and I have accepted that any claim damage would be replaced on a 'as-new' (i.e. Chrysler!) basis - they are happy.![]()
How about police data etc? They're going to scan your reg and it's going to be Chrysler yet it's going to be badged as a Lancia?
