I think that last photo is actually Mike Stuart / Brian Rainbow.
I can't read the Reg Nº that well, but Mike certainly competed on the 1986 Tulip Rally in his Castrol sponsored 6R4, and it was blue / white. |

There was some story in Performance Ford about a Norwegian who purchased the Welch Escort and then seperated the transmission and BDT engine. The engine was rebuild by Godfrey and the transmission... I have to find out later... But it must be in the Gatebil scene...

Welch didnt have a BDT engine in his Escort, he was using a Zakspeed turbo unit like Schanche.
The car went to Kjetil Bolneset and then maybe to Terje Morstad who used it, I am not sure of the wherabouts of the Lestander and Sauthon cars. The users seem shrouded in mystery, from Terje Schie, Ragnar Forsberg, Kjetil, Vidar etc!! I think they amde four cars in the end, initially for Scanche, Welch, Niitymaki and Schie maybe?? |

Thats the car that is in the vidoe clip I am sure most of us fans have watchyed on Youtube.
But I thnk the clip is the year after whn Pillipe Wambergue was driving the car, great clip and great sounds form the 205, be great if we could get some home video stuff of Group B cars on Youtube, there is getting mroe and more! Also some o the hillclimb stuff is amazing from Europe, they all use Group B Cars all tune up and sexy!! |

It is not a Group B car but it is certainly a group B spec car! Per Eklund’s 800 hp SAAB 9 3 Viggen at the Pikes Peak ! Go to http://www.per-eklund.tk/# Racing Videos
To see and hear the Viggen! |

It depended really on what you mean by quick, all the Group B cars were insanely fast, and extremely powerful!
And they were all differnet specs too, Schanche troed many different levels of tune before he settled on a basically 2 litre unit, the BDT E, was a difficult engine tog et right, I think Martin even when as high as a 2.3 one time but it was too powerful. Ford always saib the 1.8 was the best engine and many drivers used that motor. But the E was much more powerful, I think Pat was getting nearly 800 bhp towards the end with his motor!! Problem always was handliing at the limit withe RS compared to teh 205 and the Metro in some cases. As it was in rallying the 205 was really a class above everything but there just werent that many available. MArtin only really got his car sorted towards the end of Alamakis reign and then when Gollop was his main chellenger Martin had the uppoer hnad most of the time, but Gollop I think did a supreme job with the unbalanced Metro in N/A and turbo form. Lancia was never quick enough really, the S4 was always uselss on tarmac in the WRC and the rallycross version just couldnt get sorted, albeit not many people tried!! |
