I bought the car as a non runner (well it was running but not very well) and the car was given to Richard Wakeling at Revivals, but I never had the money or time to fully invest in the car. I will check for the spec but it run a 1600cc on twin 48 carbs and produced 180bhp. As for Belgium I know BSL Rallycross had 2 MR2s that raced in Belgium with Marco van Ratingen one of the drivers I think. These MR2s actually run the 20v 1600cc. |

[QUOTE=MiniMadness;2842712]Graham not all MR2's are T-bars as my track day car was a coupe, but you are right the Rallycross car had a fibreglass roof.
Was the car actually disqualified ? As far as I can remember yes.It was also not allowed to compete any more again as far as my memory goes. |

From FIA Rallycross rules: "Cars must be rigidly-closed non-convertible models."
This rule is nearly 40 years old now and came into force for 1973. |

Interesting. Didn't the Fiat X-19 race in Europe. That car had a removable roof.
My MR2 roof was not removable. |

Yep, the Fiat X1/9 did RX in different European countries. Belgian Eddy Colanbeen for example was pretty fast with his X1/9 in the up to 1600cc category. But I do not remember any more if he (or others) raced his car in ERC rounds too nor if the Targa roof was rigidly fixed to the body and, thereby, legal or run under a waiver. |

IIRC it was only on for one year. The 1980 Innocenti 120L Rallycross Cup was won by Dutch driving/racing instructor Ed Eliasar and runner-up became Dutch Bose HiFi CEO Niek Merks, who later went to the Bose headquarters in the US.

Graham, I only got the 1980 final point standings in my RX Yearbook 1981. Among the 14 drivers mentioned there is no GS and no non-Dutch driver anyway. Possibly they did it one more year – with you… Or you have been a guest driver without points for the cup…
However, got you in the same book as 16th overall of the Dutch Rallycross Cup for Foreign Drivers with BL Mini. |
