Duplicating some of the info already posted by chunterer, but the cars I can think of are:

I've added links to pictures as far as I can find, although I know I've seen pics of some of them missing ones on the web....
1986- all VKs
  • Allan Grice- single car for most of the 86 ETCC season, shared with a variety of drivers

  • Peter Brock-one car in selected ETCC races
http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc...-04-06-005.jpg
  • Peter Brock/HDT- a second car at Spa
http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc...-08-03-006.jpg
  • GM Dealer Sport- Silverstone TT- one of the Brock cars run for John Cleland/Vince Woodman- can't find a pic but it ran in Mobil livery
1987
  • Mike O'Brien- single car run by Alan Docking Racing in the BTCC (entered under the Linden Racing name?) I've always assumed this was the ex-Grice car, although I've seen a suggestion on another forum that it was one of the ex-HDT chassis...
  • Allan Moffatt- single Rothmans-backed VL in the first half or so of the WTCC
http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc...-08-02-005.jpg
  • Peter Brock- single VL at Spa
http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc...-08-02-003.jpg
  • Michel Delcourt- possibly run by Serge Power, one VL appeared in a number of ETCC/WTCC rounds.

There was possibly a second car as well (see below)
  • Jeroen Hin- 'Playboy' backed VL appeared in a few ETCC rounds plus Spa
http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc...-08-02-034.jpg
  • A VL appeared at the TT for British drivers Vic Covey/Andrew Jeffery-I'm guessing they leased either a second Serge Power/Delcourt car, or the Hin/Playboy car
  • TWR- a VL at the Nurburgring WTCC round for Walkinshaw/Allam in Herbie Clips colours
1988
  • Mike O'Brien- an Alan Docking-run VL in the BTCC-upgraded to a 'Walkinshaw' late season. The 1987 VK upgraded to a VL?
  • TWR- a single Herbie Clips 'Walkinshaw' appeared at the abandoned Birmingham BTCC round and the TT- think this then went to Australia as part of the TWR Bathurst entry

I'm pretty sure there were others- think there was one in France around 87/88 backed by Elkron (think it appeared at the Nogaro ETCC round),
there was a 'Walkinshaw' running in European Rallycross in the early 90's with the Belgian 'Car Glass team,- don't recall the drivers, although should have details somewhere

and I've seen this pic of a 'Walkinshaw' racing at Zolder in the 1990 Belgian Procar series:

No idea though of the histories of the individual cars, or where they are now though....
