[urq] Group B for sale, not revolting

[QSHIPQ at aol.com]

A couple of problems.  Looking at the car, it's not very accurate, to  either 
A1 or A2 specifications.  The History isn't really that accurate,  and a lot 
of privateer cars got many of the cool toys, but not much of  the value (parts 
worth more than the car).  Jim B I'm sure has found this  out, and his looks 
more historically accurate to the specifications of that  era.
 
That said, I'd bet this one fetches more than it's worth...  Then you  have 
the problem of bringing it here to the States.  Complete cars aren't  easy, 
especially one's that have no MSO, 17digit VIN, and wouldn't pass EPA or  DOT.  
Add in the bond you post to Customs, and the paperwork required, I  see no 
reason to even attempt it myself.  When our Rally driver brought in  the Group A 
S2 rally car, the bond was over 60k, they held it for 4 months, and  he had 
daily calls to Customs.  Then, when all is said and done, to put it  on the 
street, you need a dealer plate and dealer insurance.  
 
For that kind of jake, you could take the next 15 urq's up for sale and  have 
a rally car with complete spare cars.

C'mon Dave. We _really_ need you buy that car and get it here  by August!!

I'm not the group cheerleader but we need you guys. We're  counting on you! 
The group is counting on you! The world is counting on  you!
I'm thinking there has to be a way to make this happen. Hell SJ you  could do 
it. 1600 miles over the weekend for a wedding! Piece of cake  right?
Sheet metal interior, racing suspension and exhaust, no AC in  August, no 
radio. So what. Where's that rally spirit?
Can you say  "Vanishing Point"?
