Hi guys,

I\' m a new member , my name is Francesco and I\' m Italian.
I\' m searching for photoes of the Mazda RX7 Group B rally car which took part in some rallies during the 1986 World Rally Championship (New Zealand, RAC, Acropolis).

Could you help me?

Thanks very much.:WaveBye

I realise how dead this thread is, but for anyone interested, I have a fair few photos of this car (as well as the Evo 3 the guys were also running) from the RAFMSA event at Abingdon last week. It\'s certainly got me interested in a 1st gen!!

As per the other thread, I\'m currently switching bases so won\'t have access to a works computer (with photoshop CS3) for a few weeks I should think. I\'m currently trying to update the photoshop on my lap-top to convert the RAW files from my works camera so that I can edit them in the mean-time. Once I\'ve got this fixed, I have around 30+ pics of this car, as well as the Evo they were running. I have one edited already which I managed to get a print of before I left, once I\'m on my own lap-top I\'ll reduce the size and upload it here.
 
I\'ll save my newbish questions about first gens for another thread :D

Really? I actually picked up the magazine hoping my Astra was in the members rides section, but haven\'t had chance to read the rest of the mag yet. Hopefully I can find it in amongst one of my kit bags!!
 
Anyway, here\'s the only edited shot I have:
