Rally fans will really love this tribute to the kings of sideways action.
The video takes us from the production based late 1950s cars thought to the epic flame spitting Group B monsters of the 1980s.
Just about all of Rallying’s most famous machinery is featured. Look out for Mercedes Benz 220s, Saab 93s, Austin Healeys, Porsche 911s, Ford Escorts, Renault Alpines, Volvo 240s, Datsun 240zs, BMW 2002s, Vauxhall Chevettes, Lancia 037s, Toyota Celicas, Audi Quattros, Ford RS200s and MG Metro 6R4s.
So sit back, grab a coffee and enjoy the trip back in time.
Thanks to Glenn C for the tip

Wow…thank yoU!
I worked rallies for many years, including the Group B era. Those Grp B cars were amazing and unbelievable!
Although I have seen it before, you have to love the ’50s Sunbeam Talbot with the guy hanging out the window!
