Driving Colin McRae’s forgotten first ever rally car (that led a strange life!)

This humble Hillman Avenger GT above is a lesser known rally hero. Besides living in the shadows of countless Ford Escorts, the Avenger was arguably a better car in standard form. Why? Because crucially the rear axle was 4-linked as standard, and no leaf springs.

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

This Chrysler Sunbeam is the very car Colin McRae used to make his rallying debut.

It must be.

It must be because, when his parents Jim and Margaret went away on holiday in September 1985, Colin – then a month past his 17th birthday – definitely didn’t mention anything about doing the Kames Stages in a Chrysler Avenger while they were away…

So, the Sunbeam was actually the car Colin used for his second ever rally. And for a good few thereafter.
