Seeing as there hasnt been the predicted upswing in use of the earlier 4wd cars as yet I really cant see a mass rush to use scrabblers even if it represents one of my favourite instances of the BRC.
A big reason for the lack of upswing is the insistence of very costly FIA papers …something which cat 1-3 don’t have to have in the UK …this insistence was for anything Cat4 and now Cat 5 until recently, so my 309 gti had to have £2k worth of Fia papers ! It’s recently been relaxed for cars below the 4x4 category but too late Imho.

In regards the newer cars and cheaper to run stuff, I’m thinking gc8 Impreza you could probably build a nice Grp n legal one with papers for £30k ish done right, indeed there’s a lovely Evo 6 on eBay at £25k …problem with lots of 90’s cars though is they’ve been clubman fodder for so long they’re just destroyed.
