The Spider is Marks that got stolen afaik and the Sprint is actually a Sport and was Tom May's from Irmscher UK's company car.
Yest the red one is a GMS kit, I had the kit for a short while but only have the skirts left now.

Yep, my old rally car, B981 KNR :)

Cracking little motor, had a lot of fun and some good results in this car.

Fantastic to see it again. Got some old pictures of the car in Rallye Sport magazine, but I have never seen these ones. I think it is still alive somewhere.

Got some video footage of this on VHS. I need a DVD converter...
