Franco Cunico, San Remo '93 (although it's said that was at least a semi-works entry, not sure).

I don't think tha the other rallies are into discussion...The Steward there declared the parts legal...This happens in F1 for sure...Not so sure if it's the same for WRC!

Wow, didn't see this one coming. I don't believe it 100% yet though!
