Double Trouble .. Cossack Mk2 rep and Grp4 Fiat 131

[Tristan]

Not strictly my Competition car(s) , unfortunately , but I'm next in line... lol . Here are 2 of my Dad's rally cars , just happened that we had these two in the workshop today , the FIAT only came home from the paintshop yesterday , and the Escort was getting a quick checkover before it's taken to our Clu's rally Launch .
Hope you like..













The Mk2 is a genuine RS , built as a fairly faithful homage to Mr RAC , 2.0 245bhp BDG on carbs , ZF box , Atlas , Slipper leaves , large diameter coils etc .

The Fiat is Dad's pride and Joy , a genuine Grp4 Abarth , 2.0 16v , Guy Croft 200bhp , Colotti Box, and all the usual Abarth stuff , IRS rear etc.
