ontopic tidbit for you: carlos sainz carried on rallying the 165 until the CS version of the 185 was ready :)

And it was half way through 95 before they deemed the 205 good enough to take over from the 185CS

Iirc the first car Marcus drove in the WRC proper was the Pug 206. He came to the WRC fold pretty late really when you think about how successful he was in national events.
