They did run the BDTs that ended up in the RS200's however...

And IIRC only 4 RS1700T's survived.

A real 1700T would have the gearbox in the boot well, under the rear seats anyway.

Tony,

Malcolm bought it off Brian, it was purchased by Brian to turn into a rallycar but the project got kyboshed...

That thing on e-bay is about as much of a 17T as my arse.....

17T's, have a transaxle, lateral linked rear end, proper BDT, all/most were sold overseas after grp'b' finished, mainly South Africa, I do know of another proper coming back to this country to be finished then it will be doing the rs show circuit....

The car on e-bay is a G3 with a 1700t bodykit, nice but being sold under a bit a pretence.....

Ian
