Thanks for that, it is a fantastic link.

The 308 they started with didn't look too shabby.
The way they are going up in value, I'm surprised they used a glass car.

Does the link work? Can't see it from work...

The site must have crashed due to demand. I had a very quick look last night and it was very interesting. Hopefully it will be back up but the link has been on a few sites so bandwidth could be an issue...

Can't get on to the link - is it one of these?

Tony Worswick has one;


ETA: Tony's is a Gp B car

The specialist is Makela Auto Tuning.

The Michelotto 308s were homologated into group 4 initially, then group B later.
I think Tony Worswick's car was self built and used in the group B era. I understand that it is the only RHD car used in period.
I've seen the car on Otterburn, the Tour of Mull and this year at the Silverstone Classic rally car demo. Great to see it being thrown around at Silverstone.

I've found references to the website dating back a few years so the link must be doing the rounds again, if traffic is the reason it's gone over.

But if you can't access the website - this is what you are missing:

That is stunning, love the livery, was that used on 131 Abarths? The wheels look very Stratos.

There are some fantastic pictures of the above car on a photographer's website in the cars section.

The Stratos 'coffin spoke' wheels fitted to that Olio Fiat 308 rally car are Hawk replica wheels and available from Hawk Cars. They are not magnesium, but similar in design to the original Campagnolo wheels used on group 4 Stratos rally cars at the time.

Absolutely stunning.

If only I had the money!

It is wonderful to see such care and attention to detail. That is real craftsmanship.

Yes I know I am late but I have just caught up with this post and WOW.

Did any one notice the martini livery on one of the 308 rally cars, looks amazing. Who needs a new stratos at £300+k when you can go and have one of these.
