Looking at swrt.com Colin drove R9 WRC, R11 WRC and R14 WRC in 1998.

So do we pressume that P555 WRC HAs no connection with any of the Cars Colin Mcrea won the world Rally Championship with and that it possibly has no connection with Rallying at all.

P.S. Happy New Year

Why not ask Prodrive?

Will Prodrive give this information out. I never thought about that thanks fat

I've no idea if they would or not - but you've nothing to lose from trying.

It definatly had no connection with Colins Championship win.

Colin won the championship in 1995. P reg wasn't out until August 1996 as so was used on the 97 championship cars.

The only car Colin drove in 1995 was L555 BAT.

AFAIK they didn't use 555 on the numberplates after 1995 just the plate number with WRC and later SRT.
