You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

I would value it at 4k, but as a buy it now, 4500, to make yourself look generous.

a cool 149,000 Euros.......

6r4's are the daddy!

they varied in spec, base ones were about 320hp the top ones touched 450hp iirc, thats NA btw,

there were a few competing in rallycross over here circa 1990, the most famous/ lethal being Will Golops biturbo one that was chucking out over 800 horsies!

theres a place about 12 miles from me that makes brand new blocks for them.

.....

yeah Page makes new engines for them, far better than the originals too,,, Xtrac make the boxes & diffs , & all VERY VERY good i might add

& they were nearly all sold as base model (250hp Clubman spec) except for a few "works" cars & "special Delivery" ones, they were fitted with all the "International Spec 380-410hp bigger cams, beefy con-rods, better valves/springs etc & superior injection system,,, & heaps of Clubbys have been upgraded to "International Spec" over the years

they had to build 200x of them "Within" one year to pass homologation & apparently they did that with literally only a couple of hours to spare,,, after which they went on to win just about every rally they raced in,,,(in the hands of decent drivers that is) if they didn`t break down or crash

Tony Pond was a legend in them & Will Gollop was just a freak of nature, very rapid driver & twin turbo-ed one of his making approx 800hp & thrashing nearly every one else

very nimble, very fast, very exciting , stop on a dime, full house rally weapon


find some old "Rally-cross" videos or dvds,,, these cars & the Audi quatros & the RS200 fords & the turbo 4x4 Peugeots were blisteringly quick
