Thundersports and group c2 ,Where are they now?

I am aware of a few C2 cars running in group c but increasingly the C2 Tiga cars, specifically, seem to be diminishing. I think two turned up at Silverstone classic but that's seems to be it for 2014.

Is Historic Group C becoming a little more exclusive and inadvertently encouraging C1 rather than C2 cars simply because the comparatively cheap to buy C2 cars are outclassed by the expensive to buy and run C1s, and cost.

So what became of all those Thundersports and British Group C2 cars that raced in the 1980s. I never watched the Birmingham superprix, or the British Group C Championship; I was aware of thembut Touring cars and F1 had my attention back then.
I know of quite a few C2 cars sitting around gathering dust, especially Tiga s ; occasionally they pop up for sale, but where are all the Thundersport cars?


Wouldn't it be good to see some of those British C2 cars mixed with thundersports cars as they were, and maybe the likes of Prosport Lm3000 ,stealth and Ultima out again maybe in some club or Historic events.

I know that there seems to be rather less expensive possibilities in the BRSCC Open sports car series, although it seems to only attract Radicals and latter open top cars.
They have classes for car engined open and closed top cars and cars over 2.0 litres.

I own a C2 car; are there any other owners or indeed is there an appetite from enthusiasts out there for these cars?
