Well?

I got offered a turbo'd RS1600i years back, still kick myself for not buying that car. I prefer them.

Here's some Essex clutter (and a bit of VAG too) to whet your appetite.

Friend of a friend's garage in Germany we stopped in at over the weekend en-route to the Ring.

It is indeed an RS2600, the MKII is a genuine Zakspeed one too. MKI's are BDAs and the projects will be twin cammed and raced in the 300k this year. All get used on the Ring regularly.

I don't know about fugly, Robin, they're a bit too non-descript to be anything other than just plain. There wasn't much in the way of beauty in the 70's coming out of England unless it was a sports car, everything was drawn with a ruler!

....That's right :happy2:. And being a driver in the 1970's I don't have fond memories of the automotive styling of the day, so I'm somewhat subjective in my view!

"Plain" is a good descriptor. 'Plain Jane' never did much for me.

I appreciate the modified race ones more though and have very fond memories of regularly seeing Jim Clark @ Silverstone in a Lotus Cortina dicing with Dan Gurney in a big 7-litre Ford Galaxy.. Or was that even earlier!?

Ahh, the old Touring cars?? - UK vs the Yanks.

Minis, Escorts and Cortinas dicing with Mustangs, Camaros and Galaxies. I love the old footage of that era, wish I could have seen some.

You'd love the Gold Cup at Oulton, think Goodwood does circuit racing.

I think they cover that era in the Goodwood Revival.
