Buffum not Buffom.

Cars are as legendary as the drivers.

Superb times for motorsport and the fans (Globally). I love it all, something i grew up watching on the tv when i was a young kid in the 1970`s-early 80`s.

Delighted for Dai Llewellen after the dissopintment of the Metro engine failure's of 1986 , He drove with Calculated Coolness,@paddy Sullivan VHS 📼1990s

Manta is pure rally, classic stuff

Fantastic to see this I went and bought a coupe Quattro after this event.

Had a walk round Bellahouston Park on my way back from Tour Of Mull and it hasn't changed much. The only major change was there are now metal benches set into the wall on the inside hairpin towards what was the end of the stage. Also visitied Rest & Be Thankful and that again is very much the same as when it was last used in competition for a stage rally.

For me I was a teenager in the 80 s: The golden era of WRC

Nice bit of film from a classic 'Monte'. The 'Works' Ascona 400s look really cool in Rothmans colours.(p.s. interesting to see that idiot spectators weren't only confined to Portugal or Italy....)

Era il rally che mi piaceva di meno, non contava la velocità pura ma una tattica di gara accorta e anche un po' di fortuna, tant'è che vincevano o erano competitivi, piloti sconosciuti come Metha, Preston, nativi keniani che conoscevano il percorso a memoria, nei rally europei gli stavano davanti molti privati sconosciuti.

If only Opel would have Turbocharged the Manta 400, the car would have been a serious threat to the Audis and Peugeots. In my estimation, even without four wheel drive, a Turbocharged Manta 400 would have won the 1984 World Rally Championship for Manufacturers.

Is that Knowsley Safari Park at the start ? I was there.

Evos ❤️❤️❤️

At 2:25, that's the section between Isiolo and Ruiri.

Jimmy came 3 in the 83 rac he still says the manta 400 is the best two wheel drive car ever

Manta power

OPEL VAUXHALL MANTAS WERE MYTHICAL CARS.EVEN WITH THE SIERRAS AND AUDIS 4WHELL DRIVE... THEY DIDNT CARE ABOUT IT. The engines were literally bullet proff and very heavy.

cavalier sounds like a fart in a biscuit tin audi sounds like an angry T rex

that mk1 cavalier looked a handfull

Hehehehe,5.27 in the local language in reference to the photographer "Mburi ino ni irahuura mbica" (Is this goat taking photographs). 5.40 in the local dialect, "ni operow" (it's an Opel).

The early days of group B and the cars are visably slower than what they went on to become in 85 and 86, but the problems with spectators was evident in some of the footage here; however this was left up to local organizers to deal with, or ignore...

I aways enjoyed this era in rallying. We came out of the mighty group B times into the group A with lots of different makes and models mixing it, but then the Sierra cosworth started to rule the roost in most rallies. I think I was spoilt. I saw rallying in the late 60s, all through the 70s, 80s and 90s and some of the 2000s. Today I just go out and watch historic rallying. Its just nice to see these old cars being rallied at full chat and sideways.

Fuel tanks under the occupants, special "fluid" in the tubular frames,etc...

Love this 80's rallying. Anyone got Cork 20 1987? Some good in car footage of Coleman in BMW

guau.excelent vídeo.

phill shorts Pacenotes are somewhat vague to say the least

I was born in 92,Spain.I was born in the wrong decade.Group B One love

just listen to the roar of audi...

new pick up Monza !!

3:42 The legendary Audi understeer

I'm a manta-driver also. I've had 6 of them. None of which original 400's though. But my absolute favorite Rally car is actually the Escort mk1 and mk2. The way these little bombs wrap themselves round a corner is fenomenal. And the sound that the engines make when they scream. I know they aren't Group B cars, but in all honesty mantas also should not have been. Mantas didn't have 4wd, no turbo's or superchargers. In fact they were normal aspirated rally cars such as the Escorts and the Asconas.

dikhed a base model wrx blow diffs and gearbox to peaces even then 94 4g93T gsr lancers can handle 500 ponies my friend wif a clutch up grade drive line thats bullet proof jus a shorter ratio ,, wrx made of glass they got better but there still shit boxes ...How do i know cause luv both and have both

They forgot the Fulvia.

on tarmac its less than 2 seconds i read that somewhere

These cars were so square & boxy and the sound they made ha !

i bought a Lancer last week!

lol....I have all these on VHS!

In retrospect, 1983 was a very interesting time in that 4.w.d. wasn't so developed that 2.w.d. was hopelessly out-classed. You could still relate the handling of the top cars to the problems you faced yourself in your road car. Current rally cars are so sophisticated they are not relevant to everyday driving. I'd like to see a return to 2.w.d. based on production of 1000 examples. Be great if manufacturers then brought out some r.w.d. cars for us as they did for Group A (M3, Sierra Cosworth...)
