Fiat were interested in Group 1 and were very helpful (to a degree) with Dad with Fiat Uno and Fiat Strada, but Fiat Italy and Fiat UK were two very sperate companies and didn't get on or help each other much going on the letters I have.
I ythink also they wanted outright wins which couldn't wasn't really possible with the Uno and Strada and anything bigger tahn that you rightly say was rally orientated.
I'm sure Dad could've pushed it more, but what with a divorce, business commitments and really wanting a Cossie or a Colt it never happened and the rest is history (or Tuscans and historics putting it another way!!).
