He's a bit of hero in my house. I think I may have met you at The Revival last year - I chatted at some length to your Father and yourself about ERAs and the homologation eligibility of the Ferrari 330LMB - is it a GT or a Prototype?! I will keep my eyes open for Tim.

Loving your appreciation of all things RS500, however I'd like only one please .... one that is an amateur ommision from your magnificent gallery.

A black Texaco livelried Eggenberger RS500 ... THE Sierra IMO



The remainder of my garge would be packed with rally machines from the past. Mainly group B, but also group 4, and later group A cars .... Repsol Integrale, Delacour Monte tiger stripe escort .... oh, and L555 BAT revolving on a raised platform as a monument to Colin
