The Lancia Stratos HF, chassis 001544, body number 214, was assembled at Bertone's Grugliasco facility in June 1974 and completed by Lancia the following month. Powered by a Ferrari-derived 2.4-litre Dino V-6, the Stratos was purpose-built to win rallies and went on to claim multiple World Rally Championships. This particular road-specification example has never been raced or crashed, retains its original colour, trim, and tools, and has covered minimal kilometres since entering long-term storage around 1984.

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.
