I have been told by another Group A Starion competitor that all spares and the car are owned by the dealer principal of Sutherland Mitsubishi and are sitting in his shed. Bob Riley had very little to do with the factory Ralliart race cars regarding circuit. He was assisting Kevin Bartlett when he had THE gRAHEM mOORE sTARION AT bATHURST IN 85 but was not involved with the 85 or 86 factory effort.

Yes, that is true. I saw it there when I went in there for some parts. Also, met a guy who worked there who was part of a race/rally Starion team (can't recall what group). He also owned the most immaculate JB I've ever seen.

Sorry didn't want to start a new thread and figured it fitted in here.
But have you guys seen the '84 bathurst program. It has quite a few shots of starions racing in group E.
