Al,
As I said there are at least seven (forgot the Nigel G car) genuine Group A Rovers. Four of which are race ready and three being prepped/restored. There is a genuine XJ12. An XJS and then there's at least one genuine Group A Metro that is being restored. I also believe there is a GpA Golf being returned to the tracks. In Group 1 there's an ex works Dolly and the Patrick Motorsport Rover SD1, mine will be ready next year. On top of that, at the moment slightly modified cars such as my Capri and the Pochciol cars (three of them) can run with MRL.
There are loads of genuine Group 2 BMWs at least two Capris and of course, lest we forget, there is the Lairy Canary and three (that I know of) Escort twinks. Also there is that NSU. With that list we haven't even scratched the surface of cars that run in the Youngtimer that are also genuine Group 1B/2 cars. They are all out there running (exceptions being those mentioned above), the issue is to get them all together in one place.
And that last point is where I think the organisers need to bang heads because if those of us in Gp1B machinery are just making up the grid due to the Cossies, M3s and STs as it would be in the HSCC series, then it really isn't worth getting out of bed. Thus MRL/JDC really needs to get its act together.
