History
Pro Motor Sport Rally Team On the eve of the 1983 season, the Italian rally team Pro Motor Sport commissioned specialist firm Michelotto to create a Group B version of the Ferrari 308 GTB, which had already been entered in Group 4.
As in the past, Michelotto began production of the 308 GTB with fibreglass panels instead of the heavier 150kg steel bodywork used from 1978. As a result, the four Group B 308s built by Michelotto were built around pre-existing production cars.
At the end of the 80s, Pro Motor Sport became Planning Sport, still located in Padua next to Michelotto.
Planning Sport then ordered a Ford Sierra Gr A from Ford MotorSport to compete in the Italian championship in 1992.
An Italian car was sent to England and the transformation was carried out by Little Mike MLP, MLP was responsible for rally cars for Ford for Europe (Belgium, Italy, France, etc.)
and Ford Motor Sport (all documented)
The car was delivered with the same decoration as the factory cars (Mobil sponsorship)
