If it was a case of last true works teams then you're correct with 888. The RML deal was another of Plato's wheeler dealerings as far as I can recall.

As has been said already, 888 was formed specifically to run the Vauxhall team.
Of BTCC teams, you would have to go back much further... maybe the McCaig iteration of Ecurie Ecosse?
Schnitzer was "adopted" by BMW in Germany, and subsequently ran the BTCC effort, though this was some 30 years later.
