It's from 1984.
Good morning everyone!
I am looking for photos of Marc Duez in a Computervision sponsored MG Metro 6R4 from the 1985 Condroz Rally. I think he was running course car or just a demonstration.
Here is a photo I found on a French forum - NO helmets or overalls...
Many thanks.
It's from 1984.
No,it was 1985

When I first saw the photo I too that it was 1984 Juha - surely Austin Rover Motorsport wouldn't be using a 1984 prototype on a rally so late into 1985 when the Group B version was available?
But then I saw the list of events that Dirk posted from Marc Duez own website.
But if I look at this website http://board.s14power.com/showpost.p...4&postcount=26 is was 1984.

Thank you Juha and Dirk for solving the mystery for me then - even this website says it is 1985! > http://www.empire-auto.com/Photos/co...ondroz_xxx.htm
It would not make sense for Austin Rover Motorsport to use a prototype car on a 1985 rally when the Group B version was available?
Now that we have discovered that it was 1984, does anybody have any other photos of the car than the one above, which is also printed in your book Juha?
I have emailed the original photographer of the photo. Pierre Dawirs told me this...
...see even he says 1985, and he took the original photo!I don't have anymore photos of this car. It's correct, Marc make just demonstrating the car behind the Condroz rally 1985.
I don't agree.
