1983 TA64 Celica Turbo Group B:

Of the original 35 Toyota Group B cars built only eight still exist. This was the only true attempt to replicate the original cars. The motor is a genuine TTE Group B built in 1985 for the Juha Kankkunen car to compete in the Thousand Lakes Event.
In July 2019 the car and driver were invited to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom to compete on the forest rally stage. Later that month Ross and the Celica competed in the Eifel Rally in Germany.
