We're used to seeing them like this. Tearing up the gravel and spitting up the mud...  ...but every now and then a road-going example might pop up. Just like this one, discovered via Man on the Move. Yes. Yes please.   MOAR!! Chris |

These look so obscene with number plates. Just ace. ;D
**edit**
Obviously they all had number plates, but you know what I mean...

Surely they were all road going  Must have been amazing watching them drive between stages. They are function over form in its purest sense. |

phwoar.
Now don't get me wrong, they look great all stickered up, but like Bizzle said, they look plain obscene in a solid colour with a tax disc and numberplate attached.
Looking at them, I'm surprised they had the cheek to call them Deltas, that front end is pure Beta...

Group B has always been my greatest obsession/passion!
Yes the rally cars in action were stuff of motorsport legend & something I'll never forget witnessing back in the day.
However the road cars offered for sale to the general public are the ones which have always held my affection & get me wobbling/dribbling uncontrollably.
Purpose built one-off (ok 200-off) 4WD mostly mid engined silouette race cars. Fully trimmed with a carpet & sound insulation, nice comfy seats, tinted/electric windows & painted in a nice colour....with the exeption of the Metro 6R4
With number plates & a tax disc, what's not to like..?

The dealer 'up north' selling the red one in the last couple of years (listed Nov '10) was Walkers of Northallerton. I thought it was still for sale but seems to have disappeared now?
Bonhams auctioned one in July '11 which might have been the same car?http://www.bonhams.com/eur/auction/19286/lot/427/ £100,500....seems a bargain to me and definitely on the euromillions-win shopping list!
Edit - it was the same car
