To be honest I don't care if people buy Haldas for regularity or stage rallying
(and I do both).
I use mine for stage rallying in the Cortina (it is well accurate enough, even
with speedo-drive wheelspin), and it was important to me to have period gear.
I still use Lucas points in my car, so there you go.
I've also used it for history regularity rallying (with a Curta calculator) in
my Escort. I am not hard wired to using it for regularity rallying unless it is
a wine-cheese type historic event. If it is a regularity event like say,
Thunderbird or No Alibi, I'll happily use a non-period Timewise 798A and run in
unlimited class.
I think the price jump is interesting. When they were $1000 I thought it was
crazy --- I am still happy I got mine from Len and rest assured Len, it has been
put to good use!!!!
