Engine
2.4L DOHC V6 (Ferrari Dino), three Weber carburettors, 192 bhp
Colour
Neon yellow

The Lancia Stratos HF Stradale is the road-going version of arguably the most celebrated rally car of the 1970s — the first automobile purpose-built for the World Rally Championship, clothed in a Marcello Gandini-designed Bertone body and powered by a mid-mounted Ferrari Dino V-6. This particular example is a confirmed single-owner car, delivered new to Italy in April 1977, retaining its original engine, neon yellow paint, and wheels throughout, with fewer than 39,000 kilometres recorded and its interior Alcantara trim in remarkable condition.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
