indeed ORP, Maybe the Woodman car had the minimum of Grp A upgrades allowed to pass scrutineering for the TT as opposed to a full house Group A 3.0 engine?

Your info about that Barnes car adds a further piece of the jigsaw to its history after it's heyday in Allam's hands so to speak. I'll pm Ade Vickers and he'll be delighted to learn this as he was really keen to find out more about his car 'CC3'.
