Relive one of the most emotional moments of the Spanish rally with this decal set from Diseño Clandestino: the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Group A with which Jesús "Chus" Puras and José Arrarte competed in the Rallye Caja Cantabria 1992, number #1, in 1/32 scale.
A historic livery from northern Spain, reproduced by Diseño Clandestino
Few colour combinations evoke as much nostalgia among motorsport enthusiasts in northern Spain as the blue and green of Caja Cantabria on the bodies of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale. With reference DCGEN12, Diseño Clandestino brings back that livery with all the fidelity it deserves: the car with which Jesús "Chus" Puras and his co-driver José Arrarte competed in the 1992 Rallye Caja Cantabria, one of the flagship events of the national championship that year.

Print quality and application
The decals from Diseño Clandestino are printed on an extremely thin film that easily conforms to the complex shapes of the Delta body: flared arches, bonnet vents, and rear wing are covered without the film lifting bubbles or wrinkles. The blue and green tones of Caja Cantabria are solid and opaque, with no visible transparencies even on white backgrounds.
For the best results, we recommend applying the decals over a glossy varnish base, using decal softener on areas with greater curvature, and sealing with a final coat of matte or satin varnish depending on the desired finish. The result, once varnished, is virtually indistinguishable from a factory livery.
The Lancia Delta HF Integrale Group A in 1992
The Lancia Delta HF Integrale was undoubtedly the most dominant rally car of the late 80s and early 90s. In its Group A version, it accumulated six consecutive world constructors' titles between 1987 and 1992, becoming the absolute benchmark for regional and national championships of the time. Its all-wheel drive, four-valve turbo, and pronounced arches are hallmarks that any enthusiast recognises instantly.
In the context of Spanish rallying during those years, the Delta was the car to beat, and drivers who ran it privately or semi-privately had a formidable mechanical base to compete with the best in each region.
Chus Puras and the 1992 Rallye Caja Cantabria
Jesús Puras, popularly known as "Chus" Puras, was one of the most complete and beloved drivers in Spanish motorsport during the 90s. Born in Cantabria, he competed with special motivation in his homeland, where the support of the local fans made him an undisputed favourite. In the 1992 edition of the Rallye Caja Cantabria, Puras and his co-driver José Arrarte started with the number #1 at the wheel of the Lancia Delta HF Integrale, showcasing solid driving and knowledge of the Cantabrian stages. This livery, featuring the colours of the regional financial institution, is a symbol of the support from the local business community for motorsport during its most vibrant stage.
Reproducing this car in scale is a tribute to an unrepeatable era and to one of the drivers who brought the most joy to fans in northern Spain.
Frequently Asked Questions
What scale are these decals designed for?
They are optimised for 1/32 scale Lancia Delta HF Integrale bodies intended for slot.
What type of body do they apply best to?
The result is optimal on white competition bodies, as the original decoration of the car includes light backgrounds and the opacity of the decals ensures faithful coverage without the need for additional colour base.
Do I need any special products to apply them?
We recommend first applying a layer of glossy varnish to the body, using decal softener on areas with relief or pronounced curvature, and finishing with a topcoat varnish to visually integrate the decal with the body.
Does it include all the sponsors and the number of the original car?
According to the product description, the set includes the number #1 and the local and technical sponsors that the vehicle displayed in the 1992 season. To confirm the exact details of the included elements, please check the product images.
Is it compatible with other brands of Lancia Delta bodies in 1/32?
