If I was a car collector...

...this would be on priority buy list:

For those that don't know, Lancia Delta S4 is the car that ultimately put an end to Group B cars. The driver for whom this car was built (as it says in the caption) had a fatal accident during one of the rallies, which put the regulators over the top and Group B got banned. These cars where absolute beasts (+600hps).

If I only had the cash......

I guess that's why the class was known as the "Killer B's.' Lot's of Gruppe B drivers got hurt.

There was a story of one of the Lancier S4 had a sever accident on one stage, both driver and co-driver escaped. Then the car exploded and killed them both! The story goes that the roll cage was full of nitro-glycerine!!!
