Probably the most travelled genuine Rouse touring car made. It raced in the Silverstone TT, as well as throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Not a high finisher but lasted the distance

Chap want 45k for it, I doubt he will let it go for anywhere near the ebay price.

I have pictures of it during its conversion to a thundersaloon, pity as it was worth more as it was.

Off the top of my head I cannot remember the drivers, it was always entered by the Swedish CMS team and ran in silver and blue with various sponsors over the period it raced. It was a rare lhd Rouse customer car.

Will dig around and see if I can find the info, I have lots of pics of it, but dont know which actual races they came from.

Nice car, I have a load of pictures of that with a different livery.

Proper spec though but I agree no way that will go for anything near the asking price.

Would that be this car:







I might have some more pics but then I have to search. These ones are from the 1990 and 1991 season.

Would be nice if someone would buy it and restore it to it's original spec

Like Martin has done with the ANZ and Listerine cars.

Its just how its been mapped, its a endurance racer so doesn't obviously need anymore than that to keep on the pace.
