Hello from Colombia - Tarmac Rally Build

[M-Sport fan]

Yesterday, in the parking lot of the McCaffrey's supermarket in New Hope, there was a silver R32 (they are the ones which have the lateral bar upper grille, correct?).

Amazing to see two total grey market cars in the same week.
How many were brought into the country in total?

R32 is not grey market. They have hit 25 years and are being brought in. 25 years from the date the specific car was built so R33 is right on the cusp as well.

Yes, I totally forgot about the 25 year rule altogether.

That means that almost all of the Escort Cossies/WRCs built can also be brought in without much pain, maybe why a few more are showing up on ARA event entry lists.
