    I think the rule is that a car must have been raced in an international
(FIA sanctioned?) event in period, and have been homologated by the
manufacturer. Few American cars seem to have been registered with the FIA,
probably because its a European organisation, and I'm not sure about the
status of low production "specials", of which you seem to own a fair
selection! I think that you can get a car homologated if you can prove that
it was raced in an international event during its production history. The
car might have to be a work-backed entry, and the onus is on you to discover
the original specification.

    Is the Genie a Gilbern? If so, then it may be recognised by the FIA, as
I think that I've seen one of these that's used for rallying.
