Nice ones! I love the Carribean 4AGE rally action (and sounds!)
A couple of my favorites along the same lines:
My favorite Euro hillclimb video, and THE reference when it comes to how a normally-aspirated engine should sound:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8CMm4Og4K4
Be forewarned, there is Euro-music until about the 3:30 mark. Beyond that it is pure Cosworth BD, VW 16-valve, Toyota 4A-GE, BMW M10, Opel big and little four-cylinders, all making joyous sounds. Listen especially for the 2-liter Ford V-6 around the 8:00 mark! For reference, check this one:

and listen to how Zzzzzzz......boring.....the few turbo cars are in comparison. Kinda like grandpa....hard to hear, wheezing, and occasionally chirping...not to mention the backfiring! 
My favorite 4AGE rally clip compilation of Finnish Corollas completely at the limit:

Bda escorts, opel cadetts, vw gti, audi 50's they are so awesome! Theres nothing like them in full race trim
Nice one!
One more for now, a vintage rally clip with on-the-limit driving, great sounds, and entertaining live-axle handling. :)

Great video!
It was awesome to see some footage of the Andrews Heat for Hire Escort. I couldn't tell if it was Russell Brookes, but I'll tell myself it was him regardless! He's one of the first people who (whom?) I idolized as a driver.
Just saw the standings board at 8:29 in the video, it was him. 
You certainly cant rle out group b.
Heres a vid that i always loved because this guy was so fast in rally with a fwd car. Puegot 306 maxi

1983 1000km of Nurburgring (highlights). Last visit for Group C on the North Course.

In reply to RealMiniDriver:
Nice...a lot of clips in there I hadn't seen before, which is always nice in a Group B compilation. Love the Lancia 037!!
Heres the rennsport celica, its actually a one-off seventh gen celica, the performance model that originally came fwd, it was the modified to use the st205 celica gt4 drivetrain along with a highly modified late spec 3sgte
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RurMscVVQbs
Heres another highly modified celica owned and ran by jonny millner at goodwood. It is a gt4 with a highly modified 3sgte, this one consist of a rotrex supercharger and a garret gt35 or 42 depending on the power desired. Also this car is nitrous injected easily reaching its 800 hp mark at only 2 bars (24 psi) of boost! Weighing in at 1050kg (2314 lbs) this car is a complete monster!!!
This isnt his fastest run to due to a small mistake, but he ran faster than even formula one cars!

Soooo....is that Bajan WRC hunter Starlet running an 1800cc A-series? Sounds wicked, and i would guess a long-rod destroked 7A-GE, or...another way to think about it, 4A-GE head on a 7A block with custom long rods and custom pistons? He could be doing it on a 7A bottom end, but I would hate to think about the stresses/piston speeds/rate of rebuilds given the revs he seems to be turning.
In any case, awesome little 2WD rally car, and more fodder for the argument that it AWD turbo rally sedan=snoozefest when compared to a N/A lightweight 2WD hatchback driven in anger. :)
What about ANYTHING from Dave's Farm?
Dave turned out to be a child molester, I don't click on his videos anymore.

It IS in fact a 7age, i would highly doubt it uses the stock 7a crank due to it being cast even though its plenty strong, but not for that type of abuse. The whole car is a custom-one off ep82 starlet so i would image the engine is seriously custom. I think it runs an atlantic spec head. I would think its runs- as you said a long rod 7age, custom cranks do exist for the 7age conversion such as spool (which increases stroke but retains stock rod/ piston size thus creating a poor rod/stroke ratio.) and one like manon racing which runs a longer rod, shorter piston and more strike displacing up to 1950cc when bored to 83mm. I dont know the exact specs of the engine but i do know it does run a 1.8 liter 4age. The drivers name is neil armstrong (like the astronaught :p) check it out.
http://www.mrpltd.co.nz/product/290/7age-stroker-kit-1-9l.html. This is called the 9age i would imagine neil runs something of this quality with a bit less displacement
