It says they found the car was driven by both the late McRae and fellow rallying legend Carlos Sainz during the 1994 World Rally Championship season?

It's the history of the car that has increased the value by so much.

Although it sounds a bit daft, it happens with most things. In the world of RC car racing if you have a car that was raced at a World Championship event, particularly by a well known driver, that will push the price up alot.
