Lost racing films rescued by TV legend
Voice of 90’s motor racing is completing project to revive hidden gems of motor sport film and television.
The final installment of our Group B galleries features the Peugeot 205 T16 – a car run under the watchful eye of Jean Todt.
Also featured in the series is an Audi S1, a Lancia Delta S4, a Ford RS200 and an MG Metro 6R4. The immaculate cars are all the property of 1980s Spanish hillclimb champion Teo Martin – who also owns circuit and touring cars – and were photographed by Lyndon McNeill. Richard Heseltine has written a full Group B celebration in the current magazine in honour of the 30th anniversary of the era’s demise.
