It's important for history that we ensure Group B does not become solely associated with a few types of car used by some works rally teams. Perhaps we should have some pictures of Group B cars like the Ford P100 Pickup, the MGB, the fwd(not just 4wd) Citroen Visa etc?
Do you know if the long quattro was a Group B, Group A or both? Because common thought says that Mark Rennison was the first in (European) Rallycross with a Group B car, the RS200 in Holland '86, but they were using the Quattro since '82.

Also the Porsche in the post above me is not a Group B car? None of the Porsches 911 really were, right?
