    Few toys at home here...

    Hope ye like out toys.... sadly the Tranny and Uniflo Mk1 are since sold , but they both went to good homes!
    Dad rallies the Fiat 131 Abarth in Europe , in a class of Historics known as Slowly Sideways . AFAIK the only 131 AR rallying in Europe .
    The Lada is a screaming VFTS 1600cc , non-crossflow , revs over 8500 and has 170bhp.. Fun.

    The KA is my Forestry rallying toy , an ex Ka-Challenge car.

    The Mk2 is pukka Grp4 , 245bhp BDA , 2.0 , pulls lovely to 9500......

    The Tranny was an ex German fire service van , I repainted it from red, no rust .......but only a 1700 V4! Towing was.....painful.

    The Mk1 was a pukka Grp4 also , with a 200 odd bhp 1600...and the most awesome sounding engine I've ever had the joy of wringing its neck .

                Had it out in Mondello PArk during the summer..... and I can see how people love driving sorted mk2s! 9k RPM down the straight , in 5th... 250bhp. Nice.

                        Great pics. I bought the retro car mag the other month just because it had one of these on the cover, very rare nowadays. Make even the capri & escort look almost "common".
