The Cheylesmore(a Coventry BMW dealer?) car was a works test machine loaned by the factory to get a presence in the UK and was run by Bob Sparshott Automotive(BSA) on behalf of Cheylesmore.It was probably replaced by a brand new version later in the season?Perhaps this followed Stucks comments about it being banana shaped? I only have the following results for the car/team...Silverstone GP support race-Stuck 5th; Donington-Stuck 2nd;Brands-Stuck 3rd;Silverstone-Palmer 5th and Silverstone ETC,Danner/Hobbs retired with blown engine. I have no knowledge of a New Zealander racing the car and the only driver who fits the bill as you describe is Brett Riley?? At the end of the '83 season,Stuck/Palmer/Soper ?neve were considered for the drive but it eventually went to David Kennedy for '84,again run by BSA and as mentioned earlier sponsored by Grundig International and Penthouse(not that I remember much bare flesh as I followed the team hopefully around the country!!).
