That is not a likely explanation for these cars
The cars I'm sure I remember seeing in the sale... (BTW:I was there)
Where not "mocked up" / Dressed up" etc as "rally cars", even though there were a couple of works cars outside as well as works rally spares for them.
I will have to dig out my sales brochure for the sale but, there were a number of "performance project" cars within the sale based on Zr's and ZT's and as i stated above "IIRC" a couple were 1600's.
There were a number of incomplete performance project cars in the sale covering most body styles.(including SV's and "Speed" cars.
Many of which are yet to "see the light of day" since the sell off.
I did not offer the reply as an explanation, merely as a point of interest that S&R where working with "enhanced" ZR 1600's.
It is more than likely that the ones in the rally are either described incorrectly (due to being in the 1600 and under class) or have been given larger engines as has been suggested previously.
