I posted to the rallychat.com early last year and some good information
popped up. In fact, that's how I found the first image of HOP750.
Somebody suggested looking there.

(under rally archive, memorabilia. March 25, 2007 post. There's a
couple of pictures of the red car)

It is just such an odd car. Not too many Alpine were used as rally
cars. The Rapier had a class advantage whereas the Alpine as at a
class disadvantage.
