    The UK has never used different registration plates for rally cars and I'm not aware of anywhere else that does. "Trade plates" (temporary dealer plates) are not allowed for competition use in UK...

    With those body modifications, I don't think there's any way to know the original model without knowing the engine type.
    Likely to be RS1600 (or GT if 1300cc).

    Re: Mercedes W196

    The 196 came in all sorts of versions - long chassis, sort chassis, medium chasis and probably a lot that never made it to a circuit, quite apart from bodywork.
    The Connaught streamliner was raced,...

    For a thread title that was not at all defined that way (loads of people have had 9 wins in a row at all sorts of levels) this seems to have generated one hell of an argument!

    Re: Best era of F1 ?

    Oh all so recent.
    This question appeared elsewhere and I suggested (and many agreed) that, from a UK point of view, it had to be 1958.
    A dominant multiple World Champion had (effectively) retired...

    Rally History thread is surely the appropriate place on here?
