The Historic Marathon Rally Group will be showcasing two remarkable competition cars: a 1974 Ford Capri V6 Rally Car and a 1972 ex-works Austin Allegro Rally Car — both with incredible motorsport history.

Live restoration work

Live on the stand, the team will be removing the Ford Capri’s engine, replacing leaking oil seals, and refitting the engine, giving visitors a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to keep historic rally cars running.

The Ford Capri competed in both the 1970 and 1974 World Cup Rallies, while the ex-works Austin Allegro will be displayed exactly as found. In very poor condition with extensive rust and accident damage, it’s a powerful reminder of the reality of saving historic competition cars — and why restoration work matters.
