Unfortunately it has had to retire a few stages from the end with a seized engine ...

A respectable collection.

EAT 400T has the same names on the car as you mention Chris so how is it related to HRW250V?

I always remember the rally TR7V8's from back in the day, great stuff!

I see its fitted with what looks like a Lumenition Optronic module on the near side wing. Mine's still going strong after 23 years.

Are those 4 Webers or Dellorto carbs on the top?

Apparantly the car being used was EAT400T,until recently it was not known which would be used. EAT is probably a better bet for a forest rally.The cars are not related. HRW is a real ex works car, EAT is a superb modern day rally car upgraded to compete.

1979 FIA rally machine is a £110,000 evocation of Pond's 1980 Ypres-winning car. It is finished in the correct livery and powered by a four-Weber engine that's was only driven three events and 1,000 miles from new, and is coupled to a five-speed close ratio gearbox.
