Sadly the Integrale is long gone. It was a fair age and mileage when I got it and I used it as my only car for a few years. This was before they became silly priced and unusable so while it was well maintained it got thrashed in all weathers and lived outside so eventually the combination of tin worm and ageing electrics put an end to it. The only photo I have of it is this one:
I reckon they are still one of the finest hooligan cars around. Great fun to drive and I always got the feeling that it was just encouraging or goading me to try harder. I also reckon if I was given one of the current day gleaming, perfect £50K Integrales to play with I could easily knock £30K off its value in a week by simply driving it and that's without crashing it!
Our, sadly missed, next door neighbour who was the President of Lafranconi Silencers (the motorcyclists among us would recognise the name) had a red one. He drove it every so often and when he came home for lunch it was sometimes parked outside our house. It was his favourite car and something special as it was a numbered series, and I think one of the last that they made. He was no slouch when it came to driving it either despite the fact that he was well into his eighties.
He was very upset one day to tell me that someone had stolen the numbered series badge, which was on the rear internal parcel shelf, and the irreplaceable spare wheel. The car had been parked at the works but not locked. I think the thing that upset him most was that it was probably one of his employees that had stolen them.
I don't know what happened to the car but I imagine that his son has it now.
