Wow.
Are those super rare or something? Why not buy a better starting body/chassis... then rebuild...

nG

i wanted the answer too..

this was the actual wining car for the 1985 safari rally

"""The Safari Rally is considered by many to be the world's toughest rally. It was first held from May 27 to June 1, 1953 as the East African Coronation Safari in Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika, as a celebration of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. In 1960 it was renamed the East African Safari Rally and kept that name until 1974, when it became the Safari Rally."""

notice the old tags were from Bahrain. In one pic the names of the drivers were. Freg Gallagher from the UK and Juha Kankkunen from Finland. (notice that next year, Fred also won again with one of my fellow Swedes in an almost identical car.

So, i guess this is a true collecters project. Im sure someone will pay a god awful amount of euros for it!! Look at one of the restored rally cars they have for sale on their site!! 435,000 euros! thats almost 600,000 dollars!! MY GOD!

that is seriously the right way to do things. No half-assed for them, and you really cant argue with the results.

well... I agree. Im sure some of the rich european car freak collectors would probably ask the same type of question about our hobby, although a much cheaper hobby relatively!!

Funny thing is,, that car,, which is surely incredibly fast and durable,, will end up sitting in a carped showroom at some dudes house in Scandinavia, Netherlands,, or the UK and never be driven!!

UNLESS.... his spoiled kid decides to FU*K with it when daddy is out of down and totally wrecks it!! HAHAHA!!

WELL....

Like i mentioned, it did win the safari rally in 85,, and then an almost identical car with one of the same drivers won in 86. So.. Most definately!!!
