team span rs1700t

Hi havard01 thanks for the link to the picture, I have posted this picture before on page 4 but I haven't seen it on its own,it shows the how the rs1700t first looked when it first went out to SA.The livery on the cars is bilingual. SPAN is Afrikaans for team.
P18 the rs1700t that is being restored by Wayne m of here was the final evolution of the rally program in SA,the american rs1700t wvw100w is the car in the picture below.I am hoping to do a SA spec thread soon with the help of my friend in SA,we have a few pictures and a few storeys to tell,if any body has any information of the cars when they were in SA please post on the thread or send me a pm/email paulrs1700t@hotmail.co.uk,
regards Paul

nice picture Ian

Evening all,I wonder if any body can help with this picture,this is supposedly the american Rs1700t wvw100w the one that got restored by Gordon Spooner enginering,It seams that when i start asking questions all goes quiet,is there something more to this famous rs1700t. can any body spot any differences is this the same car or is there another rs1700t somewhere out there?.
Another bit of news on the Rs1700t front, the SA spec blue car has changed hands recently or so i have been told,it now has been reunited with its original floor and its original running gear,lets hope its new owner is a fan of showing it off and not keeping it hidden away,and lastly coming to an Rs show soon will be the lovely restored p18 nearly finished.regards Paul.
