Built by Boreham for Julian Raymond

The only Mk5 works rally car (well semi works really Boreham built it but development was finished of by Bob Brain Developments) ran a Neil Brown grp 1 Essex running a close ratuio 4 speed box with hewland gears, 5 linked Grp4 rear axle, vented discs all round and apparently handled very similar to a double decker bus

 

That pic was taken on the Lampton lion park sprint but not 100% sure of the date and i think lewis hoyland was driving it in that pic, the car didn't do very well at all and changed hands a good few times in it's first 3 or 4 years including getting a reshell at one point after a big off

it actually looks lop sided body wise in the above pic

[bortaf]

here he is looking ever so happy to get the car

 

 

And a gratuitous engine shot
