Slightly off-topic: the blue & yellow 6R4 mock-up would be from an ITV drama series aired in late 85-ish. Title was something like 'Winning Streak', and from memory the plot centred around an ambitious rally driver coming back to competition with a new car (the 6R4) and big-money sponsor after having a big accident. Quite a few of the top national/club rally drivers of the period and their cars were involved, and ARG provided at least one of the early prototype 6R4s for filming.
