While the Lancia Delta HF Integrale was out devouring special stage after special stage in the 1990s, winning every rally trophy there was to win and making the headlines virtually every weekend, the marque’s bigwigs were being ferried between boardrooms up and down Italy in one of these: the Kappa SW Turbo. Fewer than 10,000 of these distinguished Pininfarina-designed estates were built, but while the Turbo version was powered by the same 2.0-litre Lampredi four-pot engine as that found in the Integrale, the Kappa flew under the radar of enthusiasts, and continues to do so today.

The Swiss market for collector cars is one of the most interesting in the world. After all, between Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lugano and Zurich, you’ll find not only precious blue-chip cars, but also rare and obscure cars at low prices, and mostly in great condition. The next auction from Oldtimer Galerie Toffen on 17 October offers an insight into this exciting market.
