Hi everyone, i hope the jolly man in the red suit delivered all your needs. I found this picture and thought you might like to see it. This was my first rally car and the photo was taken in 1981. i bought the car from SAAB Australia as a rally car. It was a '78 turbo. I only ran it a couple of times as i found out how much the panels were for a 3 year old car and a mechanics weekly wage would fall short of a bonnet (hood) by about one third. I converted it back to a road car and kept it for about 10 years. I sold it on when it was knackered. It had very few mods appart from more boost, way to stiff springs and an alloy cage.

Not to mention it looks like it was sporting inca wheels, I'll bet you went through quite a bit of those, They barely hold up to street abuse.
Cool old picture though, I love seeing vintage pictures.
