March 26, 201312 yr I'm sorry but anyone who's ever owned a small Fiat knows they're an absolute hoot!
March 26, 201312 yr I thought I remembered a Saab special edition named after a rally driver but when I checked it came up with this - http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/07/saab-marks-50th-anniversary-of-erik-carlssons-first-rac-win-wit/ The 9-3 in the picture looks very anaemic compared to the older ones I drove. My memory was off something much older but must have been mistaken......

Yes -The link shows that but I thought there was a previous car 10 or more years ago but I could not find the reference. I'm sure there was a 900 or 9000 turbo carlsson edition. Edit yes 600 were made of the 900 turbo carlsson and 9000 of the 9000 turbo carlsson were made.

March 26, 201312 yr Author Was there a gerry marshall vauxhall ? There must be some other rally drivers with cars named after them, Audi ? I looked for a Bill Blydenstein Vauxhall but then remembered he was the engine guy not a driver
March 26, 201312 yr Author I'm sorry but anyone who's ever owned a small Fiat knows they're an absolute hoot! Funny reminded me of a work colleague, in the legion one night, who reckoned his Chrysler Fifth Avenue was faster than my Omni GLH Turbo
March 26, 201312 yr Nice on Cyclone.Ill add John Surtees, with his Surtees Lola T70, and Roger Penske, who being an American possibly had a Burger and Po Go Stick with his name on.

March 26, 201312 yr Nice on Cyclone.Ill add John Surtees, with his Surtees Lola T70, and Roger Penske, who being an American possibly had a Burger and Po Go Stick with his name on. Copy cat, I already mentioned Roger but unlike you I gave him proper respect for being a International racing icon.. He wasn't a high level driver though, nor were any street cars named after him, his exploits are as an engineer and businessman..
March 27, 201312 yr Ogle Mini by David Ogle the Man who designed the Reliant Scimitar.Borderline that one. I suppose if you compete in Local Club events one could be called a Racer.
March 27, 201312 yr We've drifted off the OP as I think it was intended to mean street rides.. I would have mentioned a host of those already mentioned otherwise..
