Loheac Group B sale & 1988 Group B gallery
Group B, just because we can
by Rallycross World |
The upcoming auction of Group B cars that have been on display in the museum at Loheac sent us in search of 1988 pics and, well, one thing led to another and we ended up looking at hundreds of 1988 images.
For no better reason than that, and because we all love some Group B pics, here’s a selection of Group B action from the 1988 FIA European Rallycross Championship.
To recap, seven Group B cars from the collection of Michel Hommell and Olivier Quesnel will be auctioned in Paris on 5 February.
Among those cars are the Peugeot 205 T16 E2 that was used by Matti Alamaki to win the FIA European Rallycross Championship in 1988, 1989 and 1990. The guide price is €600-800,000.
The Lancia Delta S4 offered for sale is the car raced in the 1988 French Rallycross Championship by Bruno Saby. The guide price is €600-800,000.
Both of these are presented for sale, as they have been seen in Manoir de l’Automobile at Loheac, in their original rally trim. The collection also includes a Ford RS200 which has an undefined rallycross history and which the collection acquired from Jan Arthur Iversen. The guide price is €250-400,000.
There’s not much good quality video from the 1988 season around, but the coverage of the European Championship from that time is available to Motorsport.com members or to buy from Duke Video.
