History of Petter Solberg`s Xsara WRC...

[Xsara Fan]

I have an info that Petter bought Citroen Xsara WRC with chassis number T412.
This car was built in 26.03.2001.
First numberplates '32 CSP 92'
In 2001 reregistered as '723 CZM 78'.
In 2004 was in Citroen museum 'Le Conservatoire'.
In 2005 used by Kronos Racing with numberplates '322 DFQ 78'.
In 2007 used by Kronos Racing with numberplates '98 DZF 78'.
In 2008 used by Conrad Rautenbach in Swedish rally with numberplates '875 EHW 78'.
After that in 2008 was used by Felice Re in Italy (got the title) with numberplates '14R 0101'.
Also Kris Meeke start with this car in Bettega Memorial.
In 2009 used by Conrad Rautenbach in Galway rally with numberplates '138 EQY 78'.

This car take first ever WRC win for Citroen with Jesus Puras (2001 Rally Tour de Corse).
This car has 4 wins at all (Puras/Corse 2001, Loeb/MC 2003, Loeb/Sanremo 2003, Loeb/Cyprus 2004).

Quite some "old-timer" of a car, then. But do you know what is the current specification of the car?

For the moment - I don`t know. Sorry.

Are you sure that it`s the T412 that Petter bought? I know he tested the T412 last weekend in Sweden, but not so sure that`s the car he bought. He confirms on his own webpage that it`s a 2006 model Xsara he will drive in Norway.

The last Citroen Xsara WRC was built in 27.02.2004 (T432). After that there was only new specification of the old chassis. After 2004 Citroen Sport has built only Citroen C4 WRC`s...

I can see the headline - "Petter buys car from museum to enter WRC"...
Let's hope it will be 06 spec. He will do well in it.

Thanks for the info XF.
