Yeah that's right KA, some quite elderly cars were about early on but soon disappeared as newer homolgated cars arrived on the scene.
I guess there quite a few examples of 'what if's' as well. I mean several models that got entered never reached full potential for one reason or another (I.E. Bluebird Turbo, that big Merc 500)....
.......some I suspect never even made it to the track because the manufacturers didn't fancy homologating them but surely must've considered them at some point for circuit use (i'm thinking cars like the Rover 800 Turbo Vitesse, Volvo Bertone Coupe that followed the 240T, Fiesta RS1800, VW Corrado?, Saab 'Carlsson' Turbo's).......
.....or perhaps cars that didn't make the grade performance wise (Capri 2.8, Mk1 Astra GT/E, even the MK2 Scirocco for example).
