Known to rally fans by its registration V6 FMC it was first driven by double World Champion Carlos Sainz and co-driver Luis Moya in 2000.

The following season in 2001 it became part of one of McRae’s most celebrated drives.

It went on to compete further in the hands of Raimund Baumschlager, Stephen Finlay, and later Paulo Andreucci, before being purchased in 2002 by Norwegian driver Valter Jensen.
