Blimey a BP Sierra would be good...
Really surprised about "Rosie" though, and wasn't aware pre-orders determined if a model was produced or not. Is that customer pre-orders or shop pre-orders?
Have to say I would of thought the Pat Doran RS200 had everything going for it. Firstly you already have the tooling. Its "GROUP B", the car has a name "Rosie", unlike many, in that colour scheme its body shape matched the rally version, though she did sprout all kinds of wings and splitters when Pat brought her back to Rallycross. With Liam at the wheel she probably did the most impressive lap around Lydden last year of anything that took to the track. And unlike many of your models, the car is still active today so can appeal to a range of generations for those that saw her race in anger to those that watch her demo in the present day, and she often features at the sell out Goodwood Festival of Speed. If anything I would of thought it would of sold better than the "Hoppy" version, as would appeal to those that saw her race in Europe as well as UK. Oh well.......... at least there has been an XR3i in John Welch STP colours, the Steve Palmer and Barry Squibb Escorts, the Gollop and Gibson 6R4's and the Schanche and Hoppy RS200's, and a Quattro that looked very similar to Arnesson's scheme, and the Herbert Breiteneder Sport, so Rallycross hasn't done too badly over the years.
