I'm assuming this would have been given a CC chassis plate as well?
It came after the Lambo C project, and was thought to be the last car CC did before Pete and Dave split.

This probably won't help any, but the info I've got is that this car went to JQF / Fina and was run for the first part of the '89 BTCC season, then passed to Stuart Donnan for a few outings in '90 and then onto Thundersaloons. I'm pretty sure the Donnan TS Sierra was ex-van Kouwen, (although there was two of them - nothing I've seen about the Donnan car mentions it being "active" like the second van Kouwen car), and I'm working on someone else's research that the Sands Crystal / CC car went to JQF for van Kouwen.
At the end of '88 it was up for sale for £60k. More than the slightly newer (reshelled) and similar (Rouse) spec CAM Shipping car of Lawrence Bristow! (which also ended up in Thundersaloons, iirc).
