Re: [doc] Question for those who know [off topic]

Hi Martin

There are a couple of cars that I have worked on that possibly fall in that
category. They're just as rare as our Deloreans but not as expensive as some
of those other vehicles listed. As far as I can remember, their doomed fate
was similar to the D, X many models had to be made for road use so they
could enter certain group types of rallying. Both done extremely well in the
short period and the organisers no happy, changed the rules making them
illegal to race in those categories. They are:-

Austin Metro 6R4
Ford RS200

Regards Mark
