Chassis 208 is a genuine Group B works car rather than a replica or a Stradale. Abarth built it in October 1985 to Evoluzione specification, and the Lancia Martini Racing team used it for winter tyre testing. Miki Biasion drove it in the Aosta Valley ahead of the 1986 Monte-Carlo Rally, and Markku Alén drove it in Lapland as preparation for Rally Sweden.
It then passed to the semi-works Jolly Club team. Dario Cerrato won the 1986 Rally 1000 Miglia in it, and he finished third overall at Rally Costa Smeralda that April. It was registered in Turin to Fiat Auto S.p.A. and appeared on Lancia's stand at the Turin Motor Show. It stayed with Jolly Club as a test car for the rest of that season.
An Italian owner bought it in 1988. After an engine rebuild by Lancia specialists it went to the late John Campion, who had it certified by Abarth Classiche and restored the ToTip livery. It was sold in 2020 to a British collector, who road-registered it in the UK and has shown it at Goodwood and RallyLegend. The page gives no mileage and no price; it is offered at a price on application.

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Engine and layout from Lancia/Abarth Group B homologation data. The engine is twin-charged (turbo plus supercharger), which no single aspiration option covers, so aspiration is null. Power, weight and performance were not reliably published for the works Corsa, so they are null. This is a works competition car, not the 200-unit Stradale.).
