GBRM should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Found them - Motorsport News & Autosport

Apologies for the delay:-

Motorsport News 10th October 1984 - VOLVOS FOR BRITAIN?
A passing sparrow recently informed us that a leading British Saloon Car Championship preparation expert is currently nurturing a couple of Volvo 240 turbos, with a view to honing them into GpA trim for next year.
Although our enquiries have been unable to track the cars down to an exact location, our source suggested that they were being considered for British GpA, to avoid clashing interests in other saloon car areas.

Motorsport News 7th November 1984 - ROUSE; NO VOLVO!
"No, that is completely misinformed," commented Andy Rouse last week, about rumours that he was preparing a Volvo for use in British GpA next year.
Rouse conceded that he had spoken to Volvo GB, "but it isn't really interested, so I think you can safely say that's a non-starter."
As yet, Rouse isn't in a position to announce what he will be doing in 1985, but expects to make a decision within the next few weeks.

Autosport 21st November 1985 - SEASONAL REVIEW;
...Rouse's driving was as smooth and disciplined as always, although the Sierra was quite a handful for the driver. After the early laps Andy usually had an appreciable gap to the rest and didn't have to force the car along, although when under pressure from Dave Brodie, Andy was as firm as a rock. A remarkable achievement and the Sierra is clearly the car to have next year, unless some bright spark turns up with a Volvo 240T, aEuropean-spec Rover Vitesse or perhaps a Colt Starion on European Pirelli tyres....
