I must head down to listen to those BDAs again one year.

Not everything has the engines you'd expect...
2x Starlet/Hayabusas
Deane Buist's DX Corolla has a BDA in it.
A few of the Escorts have Nissan FJ20 power, including the classics winning (blue/black) Mk2 of local legend Derek Ayson. Never fear, the FJ20 is a sweet sounding rev-monster too

Blue Capri has a 5.8 V8 and sounds remarkably like a big jet-boat.

Nice to see a 911 rally car, I'd imagine that's a bit of a handful.
The guys that run them love them - rear engined traction and tough as old boots. Pasi Hagstrom won the classic class last year in the blue/white '73 RS pictured above.Jem Thompson said:

But then, given the preices these things are going for (100,000 pounds+ in the UK), I thought that it would be madness to rally.

To be fair even a '73 RS probably isn't worth significantly more than the ex-factory BDAs being thrashed round on a regular basis.
