How much Lancia in an Alfa 155 Q4?

As seen at the Duxford today.  Not a car I'd heard of but mentioned in hushed tones by many.

Engine and gearbox are basically from the 16v integrale, as for what else I'm not sure there is a lot of shared parts as the 155 has more in common with the Dedra than Delta, not sure what subframe/suspension it has although the Delta and 155 in regular trim are vastly different.
Saw that myself, a rare car over here.

Or, to put it another way, how much Alfa is in a Dedra integrale?

Well, its the same Tipo floor-pan, as shared with the Lancia Delta 2.
Theyre both/all left-hand-drive only.
However, the Dedra integrale uses an 8V cat Delta integrale engine and drive-train, so 56/44 front/rear drive split. As to whether this (cat engine) applies to the Alfa, I dont know.
The Dedra integrale has a user-engaged rear locking differential (for those tricky ice and snow covered hills and starts!).
Interior trim is pre-cat Evo Delta integrale (Alcantara) while instrumentation etc is obviously Dedra.
Exterior is much like Dedra turbo (as found in right-hand-drive), but with some unique options, eg, rear screen wash-wipe.
That pretty much sums it up.

I also overheard much amazement at a Dedra being retrimmed, and how there MIGHT be some precious material left over.  Who could they have been talking about

Its a lot of photos, and just one photo of a photo of a Lancia (as it happens that I used to own) but might be of interest.

As well as a fascination for all things Aurelia I also love civil passenger aircraft particularly those with propellors and UK Independant airlines  of the 50s and 60s . So I love Duxford, particularly for the civil Propliner passenger aircraft there.
Refreshingly the volunteers who man these aircraft when they are open to the public actually know what they are talking about which is often not the case at other UK airliner exhibits elsewhere. Earlier this year i spent a wonderful day there looking closely inside and outside the Avro York, the Handley Page Hermes and also the Airspeed Ambassador ( which I flew on as a child in the 1950s when it was with BEA) .

I did take some of the remaining material from the Dedra retrim for a guy who wanted it for his integrale
