Mike Newman ran his ex BMW GB car in the BTCC from 1985 to 1987. He then tried to sell the car and a new team called DBDA Motorsport intended rinning the car in 1988 but the deal fell through. Mike switched to a Cosworth and decided to keep the 635.Peter Buxtorf was the last person to run a 635 in the BTCC during 1988.This was the ex-Cheylesmore car raced by Stuck/Danner/Hobbs/Palmer in'83 which was then used byDavid Kennedy in Grundig colours before being used by Brian Chatfield/Barry Barnes/Barry Robinson.Buxtorf ran the car in black with different coloured shapes applied over the body at each meeting. The car is now back in its original white with Diners Club International logos and last appeared at Brands in 2005 driven by Alex Elliott.
