Frickin awesome!
I just grew up at the wrong time, in the wrong part of the world.
I wonder if we'll ever see such a spectacular version of motorsport again?
Yenpit - you know I'll be up all night now - thanks
And to think most of those cars were around 2L capacity, and in the 400+ HP range.’’’ In 1985!
Ahhhhhhh!

This rally car pic was posted further back in this thread, and the car has recently resurfaced after being in storage for 30++ years! It is getting a full restoration, back to vintage rally spec! The car was apparently very competitive back in the 70's, but then stored until recently. The current owner ran against it back then, heard on short notice that it was for sale, and bought it! He hopes to run it in the POR (Press On Regardless) Rally, and other vintage events.

Is that same 510 that Bob Hourihan drives in 1973 1000 Lakes Rally in Finland?

Here is picture of it:

Yes! Hourihan also ran the car overseas! Great history, but no big wins that I'm aware of.
