We are just getting this old girl ready for her last trip as she is going on Ebay, she was painted last week in works colours and we are now getting her running, she was driven into the shop in 2011 after coming 18th overall in a rally with 70 starters, that was the last time the engine was run,
Some of the engine spec from what I remember is high lift cam, solid followers, high compression pistons, lightened fly wheel, westbrook carb, cosworth diff, 4 pot calipers, go's like a bloody rocket and spins rear wheels in every gear, hopefully will be fired up this week, would make an amazing track day car, she had a new shell 27 years ago when we went into a ditch flat out at 130mph,
I tried driving this beast on a special stage and could not handle it at all, virtually spun it on every bend, I decided to stick to navigator.

I had one of those. A 2.0 GTE. God it was slow but felt great behind the wheel.

Group B was mental and then some mate! Just missiles with wheels. Great cars.

Group B cars killed a lot of good drivers, they were animals.:(
