its perfectly specced for a budding rally driver to move onto rear wheel drive at an affordable price.

standard'ish lightly modified parts means cheap to fix and especially in engine terms means less likely to blow up.

Sure it wont be as competitive as it could be with another £30k spunked on it but how many these days can afford that??

Hence why many national rally competitions have classes for small engined cars and severely limit mods to limit costs.

Called grass roots motorsport.
