Avengers were very common in finnish rally events from 70's to 90's, and
they may still be used in "junior" racing, I am not sure.
Imps are raced regulary on tarmac and in rallysprint even next summer. They
are so much modified Stillettos that you must look twice to be sure it is a
Sunbeam.

Well, Kristian knows all this, but it might be new to Jarrid?
