Hmmmm....

 

You're right, any of the Audi's, but mainly the ones with the Blomqvist/ Waldergaard/ Mikkola heritage. The Lancia 037 is another, just purely for heritage. I'd love to own or even drive a car where names like Walter Rohrl and Markku Alen have previously parked their arses.

 

And ..... oh!!!! the RS200, ex the one and only original "Stig", Mr Blomqvist himself. Wheelbase and weight of a card table with 450hp. Automotive porn.

And for those of you too young, pop off to youtube and bang in a couple of those names. It was a time when men were men, Michelle Mouton was Queen, trees were nervous, and spectators fearless.

No idea. The one above came in from Mexico via New Zealand (I think). It was a standard road car on arrival, and is one of probably less than 10 in the country.

 

*edit* I've found out that there's at least 14 in the country. Who'd have thought??

mmm group B, was watching all the tribute vids the other night, it must have been nerve racking trying to find the road in the sea of people, I'm surprised more people didn't get killed.

There's a story of Kankkunen coming into service in the 205T16 with a severed finger in one of the aft air intakes....

 

It was considered lucky in some countries to touch the cars as they went past!
