  • Vauxhall Chevette Estate 1983; Ford Scorpio Mk 1
  The Vauxhall Chevette HS hatchback was launched in 1976, although there were none for sale until January 1978.
    Vauxhall's first 'Homologation special', the Chevette HS was powered by the Magnum's 2.3-litre slant-four engine, upgraded with Vauxhall's own twin-cam 16-valve cylinder head, which delivered its 135bhp maximum via a Getrag five-speed close-ratio gearbox. Up-rated suspension and brakes, wide-rim alloy wheels, and front and rear spoilers completed the picture, all these components being sourced from other high-performance models in the General Motors family.
   Dealer Team Vauxhall (DTV) was running the 'factory' competitions programme at the time, with both circuit racing and rallying being Bill Blydenstein's responsibility from 1976. Only 400 examples were built, this being the minimum required by the FIA for homologation, and today these special cars are rare.

THE PENTTI AIRIKKALA WORKS 1979 VAUXHALL CHEVETTE HSR SEDAN

In 1976, at the instigation of new chairman Bob Price, Vauxhall decided to increase their profile in international rallying. They developed a rally version of the Chevette in conjunction with Blydenstein Racing, who ran Dealer Team Vauxhall, the nearest equivalent to a ‘works’ (manufacturer run) competition team that GM policy would allow.

In order to compete in international rallying, the car had to be homologated; for Group 4, the class the HS was to compete in, this meant building 400 production vehicles for public sale. Vauxhall created a far more powerful Chevette variant by fitting the 2.3 litre Slant Four engine, using a sixteen valve cylinder head which Vauxhall was developing.

The HS became a great success as a rally car, clocking up notable wins for drivers such as Pentti Airikkala with the car on offer today and Tony Pond. It was a challenge to the most successful rally car of the time, the Ford Escort, winning the British Open Rally Championship for Drivers in 1979 and for manufacturers in 1981.

The Works machine AVE 345V being offered for sale is the one in which Pentti Airikkala won the 1979 Sedan Open Championship. En route to the Championship he secured an outright win on the Ulster rally, a 4th on the Costa Brava and 7th on RAC. The car is presented in its final HSR form which was made during the 1981 season. It has a 2.3 ltr Slant four engine which has been dry sumped is a 16 valve engine. The gearbox is of course a ZF dog leg S5/18-3 dog box, it has a four link rear axle, AP brakes, works ratio limited slip dif and rose jointed suspension.

The interior is still period correct and features the floor mounted fuse and relay panel only found on the works machines. The car has a new MOT and is accompanied by FIA / MSA Papers and the Historic Technical Passport.

This car offers the chance to get guaranteed entries all over the World in any of the Historic Rallies as well as a chance to own a rare piece of Rallying History.
