Lancia Stratos - 1976, Gr. 4 - Claus Aulenbacher/Andreas Mirow
Waldegard

This Lancia was built from an original road car into a perfect copy of the works cars used by the factory in 1976. Only the cockpit was strengthened to take into account today's safety concerns and it is one of only very few that is powered today by a 4-valve engine thanks to new cylinder heads made. Mehr >

Audi Quattro A2 - 1984, Gr. B - Thomas Aigner/Andreas Zeidler
Röhrl

This Audi Quattro was converted from a production car into a copy of the 1984 factory car by the Reichert company in 2006 and drove in HB livery at slowly sideways for a few years. In 2010, it was sold to Greece where it was driven by Vasileios Velanis before returning to Walter Münch in Germany in 2014. Walter Münch, a Walter Röhrl fan, restored the A2 to exactly the same condition as Röhrl drove it to victory in the 1984 Rally Monte Carlo and Thomas Aigner will drive this car. Mehr >

Ford Escort MK1 Twin Cam - 1969, Gr. 2 - Michel Smeets/Stan Lutz
Piot

Michel Smeets found this Escort MK1 as a rally car in a workshop. He was there to buy a Mercedes SLK but came home with the Escort! The car had originally been bought new by a Dutch family, as a production 1300 in orange. But as it always happens, after a few years it was exchanged for something new, and the new buyer changed the road car into a rally car. Then the MK1 was sold to Belgium, where it got a 1600 engine. As always, lack of money was the reason it ended up in a barn. Mehr >

Opel Kadett GT/E - 1978, Gr. 1 - Ton Scheepers/Luc Scheepers

This Kadett was bought by the Dutch father and son equipe at the end of 2018. It was driven during the last ten years in various classic rallies like Rallye Monte Carlo, Boucles de Spa, Tour de Belgique by the famous Belgium driver Loris de Sordi. The Opel Kadett GT/E enthusiasts discovered that this car is the one driven at the Rally Sanremo in 1978 by Fabrizia Pons and is also one of the original and rare “1000-series” cars tuned in Italy by Conrero Squadra Corse. A good reason to bring it back into its original state of Sanremo 1978. Mehr >

Mouton

Rainer Lohr has owned this Audi since 2000 and began converting it into a copy of Michéle Mouton's 1983 Corsica Quattro in 2005.

Opel Manta 400 - 1986, Gr. B - Sascha Kaiser/Willi Haag
Petersen

This Manta 400 was completely rebuilt over the winter of 2024/25, including its technical elements such as the engine and transmission. All Group B specifications were included, and the car was ready for the Vorderpfalz Rally and the Waldleiningen special stage in 2025, because it is practically on the doorstep of the car today and Rolf Petersen used to drive a Manta like this there in 1985.
