oh yes ismmo, it was said that when austin rover pulled out of rallying, and the 6r4 was not been used again in 1987 you could buy one for 15k only, it was said in the press that mr davenport had a few shipped in container out to south africa for his own use, i do not know what happen to them but all interesting

Stratos (I know Nige can help here)

Anyone ever rep'd an S4 or T16?

And then there's the Tony Pond SD1...

Any pics of any reps?, I'd love to see what some of the other clubs are up too...

PS - I'd probably not be able to tell if a 6R4 was a rep, if it was done as well as Nige's (Coxy's) Sanyo quattro. It's only my knowledge of the (quattros) cars that makes it evident.

Yeah you would, there were two specs of 'original' 6R4's the Clubman spec and the full works one we all know.

Gabe did you ever compete in this TR7? There was a Pond recreation at the Goodwood stages rally last January. It was the car in front of us so we always got to hear it launching off the line.
