German team owner Frieder Nickel tried the 75 TE for the 1987 DTM with defending champion Kurt Thiim as driver, but poor performance and even worse reliability meant very little in terms of results.
A M. Kopf raced a single DTM race in 1987 with another 75 TE.
Here is the Portugese 75 TE: http://cvc1.com.sapo.pt/images/1987/Diapositivo32.JPG. Rufino Fontes driving.

Thanks Jesper- the Fontes car is the one I've seen - I think the pics I saw were recent, suggesting it still survives. I'll see if I can find them again, think they were something I tripped over accidentally while looking for Portuguese Rovers and 635s...
