The original point suggested that TWR ran the Volvo program with assistance from George Shepheard's operation. Other than Bathurst, that seems not to be the case. Certainly the 850 wagon & sedan programs involved TWR as a suppler to Volvo but not running the team although that may have changed once PB stopped driving for Volvo (a big bone of contention with TWR at the time).
