Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-08-20 14:14	Yes, I knew this verison, but it is not necessary this, it seats higher and has shorter track of wheels.
dsl ◊ 2012-08-20 21:20	Ok then, how about 1971 RAC Rally, #55, John Haugland/Arild Antonsen, Skoda 110L, Grp 1. Did Haugland have a thing about #55?
Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-08-21 14:33	I think, it must be this - at least this time it fits well to the type of car. It is not very visible at the pic, but also quality of the film, type of the clothes and, what is the most important, other rally cars visible in these scenes, were in the early 70s style IIRC. About 55 and driving Skodas in rallies. -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 14:40:33
