Hi Guy, I am trying to educate myself a bit on gr4 alterations for 131 and 124's. In the pictures for this MC car, do we see original strengthening of the body? I see some double plating, but not to much around the sills. But it is difficult to see, though. I was very impressed by seeing the strenghtening in the engine bay of the polski 124. This is also an ex 16v works car, right?

Ahh, so it was built for privateers and the strengthening is there. Did they also make gr3's with a 16v originally?
