I got to thinking: Thanksgiving and Christmas are rare occasions where I conceivably can get out my old cars and take very amateur pictures of them. Here is one my grandparents found for me in their travels.

Of the series of rally cars Matchbox did in the '80s, I think this was the best one they did.

Technically they were only banned from WRC competition. They were still allowed for rallycross, some national level rally championships and circuit racing. Group C plays a big role in why the circuit oriented cars (Porsche 959, Ferrari 288 GTO) didn't catch on. Why race in a lower tier (GT cars) when you can run a Group C prototype for less and compete at the highest tier?

I really like this one and the Ford RS200, just wish they were both little bit smaller (1:60 is preferable to 1:55).

Nice model. I believe I have a yellow one with "Michelin / Bilstein, etc." on it. This video demonstrates what I saw when I looked at this topic...
