I have no information, but I cried a little   That's shocking I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. That looks like a pile of scrap parts from the group b s4. I doubt theres an actual car under there. Yes, it looks like it's a couple of sets of kevlar/grp bodypanels from an S4 that have been dumped on top of other cars. From the sponsors logos on the non-Martini front end it looks like they came from the Delta S4 used by Jarno Lahteenmaki in the European Rallycross Championship in 1989, which was an ex-works car sold to the legendary Matti Alamaki for the 1987 ERC before he moved to an ex-works Peugeot 205 T16 Evo 2 in 1988. The S4 was eventually restored and put back into it's works Martini colours by Makela Auto Tuning in Finland for Juha Kankkunen's collection (I wouldn't mind betting the pictures were taken on the 'dump' at the back of M.A.T.'s premises).  Alamaki 1987 season:  Lahteenmaki 1989 season:  Restored, in Kankkunen's collection:  |

The link works great now thanks, which is good so you don't need to post the photos individually. But if you wanted to just post one or two images, then a bit of basic board/internet code can help please try here www.bbcode.org/examples/?id=10 |

Yes you are right, it is a Consul Capri, it used to be my car, I sold it around 10 years ago, one of the only car I regret selling. I got in touch with the owner last year to see how the car was, he had done a lot of work to the car over the years, he then got a job working abroad and the car was left. He did offer me the car back but I bottled it when i saw the photos of it now, I don't have the skills or the money to get the car back on the road unfortunately, it's a real shame, I still have a real soft spot for that car and would love to have it back. Here are some photos of it in happier days.      |

That is so sad to see the Consul Capri when it was loved and to see it now, when it is neglected...!!!

I'm sorry I don't, I am pretty sure the car would have been scrapped by now, I think the whole floor was shot, it had been patched several times when I owned it over 10 years ago.
