If it floats your boat - go for it!

However I was tempted last year and went to a very reputable dealer in Northallerton.

The dealer seemed great but after having a good look at the integrales I was glad to jump back in the Scoob. They are all getting quite old now and the interiors and build quality are dated to say the least. Also they are all left hookers (unless modded) and Ime glad I wasn't tempted.

Serious reliability issues I found. Think 80's Italian!
Great cars, incredible character but every key turn is accompanied by a prayer.

Classic car but will fall apart on you if you plan to use it everyday. You need to spend time and money keeping it in tip top condition.

If I was thinking of buying a second car it would def be in my list too look at buying!

Sometimes you have to go beyond the reliability (and rust!) issues and just go for it. It may end up costing a bit to keep her in tip-top, but at least you’ll always be wearing a grin when you’re in it.

Years back when I finally saved some wedge to get my first ‘proper’ car; it was a toss up between an Integrale, a Quattro, or a Cosworth. Went for a 3dr Whale-tale Cossie in the end and loved ever minute of it, but there’s still something about the Intergrale – An awesome car with a stunning pedigree; still firmly on my ‘must have before I die’ list. Well, that and a Lancia Stratos!

If you are going to do it, at least get an Evolution model that will be better to drive and hold it's resale value

My dad used to have one and it was awesome, although that was 10ish years ago

It did seem pretty reliable however.
