All Sports are nominally 1984 model year, even the six or so built later
to use up the factory spares.

Dialynx in Swindon ( +44 1793 772245/772273 ) have made several
pseudo-Sports by cutting up WRs.  Fools the public but not the
cogniscentii.

I thought the British were the masters of understatement.

There were a number of Sports for sale in the UK last year.  I know
Scotts in London had one.  I might suggest David (Sootie) Sutton at
Historic Motorsport - +44 1327 300677.  He has several Sports in his
private museum, including one championship-winning car and an S1.
