M-sport offers chance to own some WRC history

-

M-sport is selling off its fleet of Volvo recce cars, offering fans a rare opportunit­y to buy sensibly priced cars driven by some of the sport’s biggest names.

The defending World Rally champion team is overhaulin­g its fleet of recce cars, meaning the Volvos – some of which have been in service since 2004 – are being made available to the general public.

Deputy team principal Rich Millener told MN: “The response has been amazing, we’ve sold a few of them already. As you can imagine, they’re in various states, but all people want to know is who’s driven them.

“We’ve got cars driven by Colin [Mcrae], Carlos [Sainz], Marcus [Gronholm], basically most of the sport’s biggest stars have been through M-sport and they’ve been in these Volvos. I think most of them are going to collectors, but a few are going to be doing some more recces in the future. It’s a chance to buy a real piece of the sport’s history.”

Anybody interested in one of the cars should contact Neil Robinson on 01900 828888.
