was offered the ex-works grpA Pentti Airakkala (ugly lol) sister car, as raced buy guy consoul and later owned by peter littler- both still big names in the motorsport industrie, i thought 'why not'
the car was raced in the 1000 lake rallies and was being prepped to compete in the RAC rallies but it is unsure if it ever got that far.
unfortanatly, the car has a standard engine and box
in( instead of the HKS race engine and dog box ). but the rest of the car within reason is of simlar spec-

saftey devices steel cage,alloy
strut brace, foam filled arches all round,

faded), alloy interior panels, carbon dash and floor
pans,gearbox tunnel adapted to take Gertag box, 60l
bag tank in aluminium case, bucket seats and 4 point
harnesses, lamp pod with 4x hellas, non- power
steering box etc.
brakes; AP adjustable bias box,
front; AP 4pots with vented/crossdrilled discs/bells
rear; AP 2pots with vented/crossdrilled discs/bells
all aeroquip hoses
fly-off hydralic handbrake.
wheels; Ralliart Dynamags- 205/50/15 all round.
drivetrain; standard gearbox/ prop, quafe 4.4 lsd, grpA
