I will never forget it , they were between stages on the San Remo Rally . again the late and great Tony Pond was driving one .

That Metro looks like John Moloney's Rallycross car, if I'm not mistaken....
I remember the great Rallycross battles, John Moloney, Matti Alamakki and Martin Schanche...
Group B rocks.. neighbour has a couple of group Band group 4 cars... fantastic..
