Default info/pix of late saff cos BTCC touring cars with N/A motors?

im in need of help with pics and/or info on the late 1991ish shell sponsored saff cossie BTCC touring cars that ran naturally aspirated YB engines, both works entries and privateer entries.

i know that a Graham Goode prepped privateer car beat the Ford works cars, but other than that i have no pics or info on bodyshell/suspension/wheel/gearbox and engine specs or drivers etc

any help or pics would be GREATLY appreciated!

regards Sean

The GGR car was a 3dr , driven by Andy Middlehurst . It was a basic but well prepped shell that was bought from Graham and built up at BSW at Brands for Bolagi Odunsi to run in Semsec in 2003 , not sure where it is now .
The Gravett Sapphire was dreadful , they tried all sorts of odd weight distribution measures that didn't work , lost sponsorship on it , not sure where it is now either .

Dave Brodie ran a 4x4 n/a car as well with little success

He still had it a few years back, lovely thing with mag suspension and full of trick bits

He couldnt give it away -He offered it to me for 6k as a rolling shell.

sorry to all other posters.....

Tony, cheers for the info but i was after on the "shell sapphires" simply because a doubting friend didnt belive n/a cossies ran the BTCC!

all the specs/pics/info i got other than the "shell saff" are VERY MUCH appreciated as this puts more fuel on the fire about n/a cossie development and use in race series
Mainly because it proves i`m not full of 5h1t !!!!!!!!!!!

Now i need to say a BIG thankyou to everyone who posted anything above, erm....... thankyou
