Lancia Delta Integrale HF 16v red MARTINI Sanremo '89
Complete graphics
CURIOSITY
The new innovative checkered Martini Racing livery, perhaps more replicated and famous among the liveries, was born in PubbliMais in Turin.
It was in fact developed and executed in paint for the first time on the car by Vinicio Mais starting from a drawing that was delivered to him in Abarth by Giorgio Rossotto. Subsequently 6 other official cars were made with the same identical graphics: another 4 cars with identical graphics for tests and tests and 2 race cars.
This was the only Lancia Delta in history to run in a Martini livery on a red base. The car with this livery participated only in one world race, Rallye Sanremo 1989, but it also entered history: Biasion / Siviero # 1 graduated world champions in Sanremo in 1989 winning the last race of the world championship with the first Delta 16v of history, an evolution of the 8v.
ORIGINALLY
The Martini livery was done in paint on the hood and sides. This decoration also covered the car's irregular and protruding grilles and details down to the smallest detail. Everything else, including the Lancia Martini lettering on the spoiler, the Lancia, Martini, Sportline logos, the sun visors and the technical sponsors were adhesive decals.
HOW WE MAKE IT NOW
Complete execution with machine downtime at our headquarters in Turin (Italy).
IN PAINT
The graphics of the Martini livery will be entirely made in paint like the original - with only the sponsors made in adhesive - with the same colors and painting methods of the reference period, which give an additional value of authenticity to the car.
The tracing of the Martini squares will be carried out through a manual and artisanal process that makes use of our original casts, the ones from which the livery for the very first red Lancia Delta in history was obtained. Livery which was then replicated in Abarth on subsequent Lancia Delta models with the help of our material.
The stickers of the Lancia, Martini, Sportline logos, the writings and all the technical sponsors will be made of the highest quality Cast adhesive - with protective plasticization against atmospheric agents and abrasions - to faithfully replicate the sizes and colors of the originals with the possibility of run them in "vintage" mode for an effect that recalls the screen printing and the historical stickers. The stickers of the Martini logos are particularly valuable, executed in the original dimensions and colors and with mirror gold that does not fade, made with a screen printing process as at the time but with a very high resistance, smooth to the touch (without steps between the colors) and free from overlapping colors (abundances).
This creation is particularly suitable for the graphic makeover and restoration of former official and original cars of the time, destined for shows and exhibitions at prestigious car showrooms and fairs.
This process is the most valuable and among other things gives the car a sort of "license" of authenticity as it is performed by the same hands and by the same company that made the historical graphics at the time.

IN ADHESIVE
All the graphics will be done completely in adhesive, both as regards the technical sponsors and the Martini livery, creating an accurate replica of the version in paint.
The stickers of the Lancia, Martini, Sportline logos, the writings and all the technical sponsors will be made of the highest quality Cast adhesive - with protective plasticization against atmospheric agents and abrasions - to faithfully replicate the sizes and colors of the originals with the possibility of run them in "vintage" mode for an effect that recalls the screen printing and the historical stickers. The stickers of the Martini logos are particularly valuable, executed in the original dimensions and colors and with mirror gold that does not fade, made with a screen printing process as at the time but with a very high resistance, smooth to the touch (without steps between the colors) and free from overlapping colors (abundances).
For the Martini adhesive livery, we use conformable Cast adhesive vinyls of the highest quality, applied with hot method for a very long duration, which also allow application on all rounded and curved parts of the car body, on grilles and air intakes. If the car is sold, the adhesive graphics can be completely removed without affecting the original paint of the car body. Where necessary, we also carry out the protection of the adhesive graphics with transparent protective varnish for a varnish-like effect.
This process is particularly suitable for road or historic cars - but not official - that participate in revivals and historic rally competitions, for non-original cars that take part in classic car rallies organized by clubs, or for simple enthusiasts.

A BIT OF HISTORY ...
The Lancia Delta Integrale, evolution of the Delta 4WD, was presented in 1987 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The first version, Lancia Delta 8v, immediately began to reap resounding successes especially with Miki Biasion, the only Italian driver in history who managed to win the Drivers' world title. In 1989 the car evolved into the Lancia Delta 16v version, continuing to ring series victories and bringing the Lancia Delta Integrale to be considered one of the most successful cars of all time in the history of the Rally. The Martini livery in the Delta 16v presented initially with the innovative Martini red livery, never replicated in history. At the beginning of the 1990 season, the Lancia decided to return to the white color of the cars and to a more traditional Martini livery. In 1992 the last version of the car, the Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione, went on track, winning the Manufacturers 'World Championship but losing the Drivers' one in favor of the Spaniard Carlos Sainz who was hired the following year. In 1991 the Fiat Group unexpectedly announced the withdrawal of the Lancia brand's races, throwing millions of fans into despair. Starting in 1993, the Lancia still took part in several World Championship races and minor championships with the resources of private investors and sponsors, but in fact, without the support of Fiat, the golden season of the legendary Rally victories ended forever.
