Jim, you can't just leave us all hanging like this ;0)

In the meantime, talking about group B cars, check out WRC Legend Juha Kankkunen's car collection...

Wow!

Stewart

: Lots of them here Lanny:

: Not surprising they're not easy to find - without knowing what
: movement they use, there's little clue to where they are tucked
: away on OTD!

: As for the cars, Audi needed to make at least 200 to homologate the
: Sport Quattro but consensus seems to be that 224 were made in
: total. This is probably down to the homologation requirement
: being 200 cars annually and an additional 20 cars required to
: homologate an "evolution" model. The other 4? Who
: knows, probably prototypes. The number that made it to paying
: customers and thus may or may not have had an accompanying watch
: is much more debated, it seems. Some are saying that is as low
: as 164. If the watch was to be either gifted or sold alongside
: the Sport Quattro, I imagine Heuer produced a number of watches
: equivalent to the known variable, i.e. the initial 200 cars
: required to homologate the S1 for Group B rallying. The lower
: number of cars sold to the public then leaves a few watches to
: be disposed of in other ways, perhaps sold off in a handful of
: Audi dealers to "general" Audi owners. So it's not
: impossible that both the "buy" and "issued"
: theories could be correct.

:

: The Sport Quattro always makes me smile. It's all about getting an
: SWB car for rallying but for the road car they left in the
: nicely upholstered rear seats... which were unusable as the
: front seats were backed up right against them!

: The short-lived Group B rallying (because of too many fatal
: accidents) produced a lot of quite spectacular road cars thanks
: to these homologation requirements.

: You know, looking at the MG, I think I know where I can lay the
: blame for the chav cars now with their extruded plastic blight
: and large bore exhausts dissipating what little power their just
: over 1 litre engines can generate as noise...
