If four wheel drive wasn't allowed it would of been a contender. Once the Audi was established the decision to cancel RS1700T was right however by the time RS200 was ready it was a bit late to the group B party. As we know that was a short lived party...
Ending with the death of Henri Toivonen

Some more bits and bobs - this one is giving Mrs.P5B nightmares, her Dad had two Allegros as company cars in the '70s which were terminally unreliable and badly put together, I know BL knocking is a tiresome cliche but in some cases it was true enough...
Whatever happens, don't jack up an Alligator with the doors open

That VandenPlas looks like it might be fairly new, a proud owner taking photos?
Early Rover P4 Cyclops in the background and the Silver Cloud looks well-used; difficult to see but possibly regn CJ 15, before 'personalised' plates were ten-a-penny?
For how long were early Minis badged as Austin Sevens, a couple of years?

I thought he was a traffic warden.
As I remember, there's not much at that spot requiring a doorman. (Been a while since I was in Dundee though)

I suppose he could be a driver but that's a long coat for being in a car. As I remember, there's not much at that spot requiring a doorman. (Been a while since I was in Dundee though)
If he was a warden I'd expect to see a hat band & badges on his sleeves.

That's pretty bleak! A bit nicer today although I did witness a memorable fight not far from there with 3 or 4 lads having a scuffle whilst their respective other halves stood around shouting and holding the babies. All at about 1130 in the morning.
