This is one of only two surviving London to Mexico World Cup rally cars and is considered the prototype Mexico. This car finished 8th. The other car - the Hannu Mikkola winning car is owned by Ford (pictured in a mag recently in the Ford Heritage article). There were 5 cars originally and only these two are left.
I wrote a feature for RN on this excellent car a couple of years back. A genuine piece of history now up for sale.
This car will be auctioned in 2 and 1/2 weeks.
