Rudy Jacobs was looking for a rally car that not everyone has and found it in the Opel Monza that was factory entered in Ireland in 1987. Thank you for this addition in the field from slowly sideways. Mehr >

This BMW 2002 was created during the Corona crisis as a copy of the 1972 Group 2 rally works car used in the Olympia Rally. This BMW was completely rebuilt at Arwed Hafner in Bad Aibling, one of the most renowned BMW experts, on the basis of a stripped bodyshell and always with the motto: as close to the original as possible. The blue colour is therefore also chosen in matt. Mehr >

Wilco and Mart Hubens built an exact copy of the Subaru RS Turbo with great attention to detail just as Colin McRae drove it in 1991 on the Manx. Mehr >

In October 2021, Andreas Hoppe received a tip from an acquaintance that a Kleint/Wanger ex-European championship car was being offered on a rather unfamiliar sales platform. It was quickly clear that it must be a real one. This Ascona B went to the Kissling company at the end of 1979 and remained untouched in a corner there for 40 years. Mehr >

This car was bought in May 2023 together with another Hainbach-Ascona and served as a spare bodyshell, painted and with a roll cage, sitting in a corner. Since all the special components of the finished Hainbach-Ascona were still lying in duplicate on the shelf, it was quite easy to complete this car. It is now powered by a 1.9-litre 226-hp Gerent engine with a ZF 5-speed gearbox or a 4-speed Opel unit. While searching for a suitable livery, they decided on Rauno Aaltonen's 1973 RAC version. This was simply in yellow. Mehr >

This Opel Ascona is owned by Roel Henckens and Bea Kesters. After participating in Rallycross for fifteen years, it was time for a new challenge and as Roel is working in an Opel garage, the decision was quickly made to build an Opel Ascona B. He wanted to build an Ascona that was driven by a well-known rally driver on a WRC event and with a livery rarely seen. Thus the choice fell to Miki Biasion’s 1980 car. Henckens and Kesters purchased this Opel in 2013 and after two years of restoration it was ready to rally. Mehr >

In 2007 Volker Kierspel and Christian Haas found a bodyshell of a Golf with a rollcage and it took them two years to build a copy of the Pierburg-Golf to be used on slowly sideways events since its completion in 2012. In 2018 Erhard Halbgewachs bought this Golf. Mehr >

After the end of MSD, Chassis 004 was sold to Romania where it was rallied for one year. Then it went to Turkey where it was used in 2004 and 2005. When this Hyundai Accent WRC was offered for sale in 2015, Ralf Fischer was faster than anyone else and bought it. Mehr >

John de Heijde built his own replication of a very rare Group B car: an Audi 80 Quattro. Anyone wondering why this rather standard car is listed as a Group B car, here is the answer. At the beginning of 1983, Audi wanted to show the skills of its new 80 Quattro on snow but unfortunately they had not yet produced the 5,000 cars needed for Group A homologation. Thus they had no other choice than to let it run as a Group B car. It is as simple as that. Mehr >
