Excellent stuff VIVAGT, many thanks.

I'll have a pop at starting the Rouse chassis' I will return to add/amend where necessary.

Andy Rouse Engineering/Rouse Sport
Circa 30 cars built between 1987-90. Assumption is 5 cars 1987, 6-10 cars '88, 6-10 cars '89 and 6-10 cars '90. But would 'kits' have been given full chassis numbers, like a lot of the cars that went to Australia?

Notes from Martin Johnson:
1/ 88 cars had ali cages which were later outlawed and since by the time this happened the cars where moved on to there new owners so most have bolt in steel cages now fitted.
2/ The 89/90 Labatts Harvey and Bristow cars where new built cars from new shells for the '89 season with a seven figure sponsorship fund - the deal was two supply and run the two cars for two seasons.


1987 Cars

ARE RSC 0187
Andy Rouse's 1987 BTCC ICS RS Cosworth and latterely upgraded to RS500 spec (TBC)

ARE RSC 0287
ARE RSC 0387

TBC

ARE RSC 0487
TBC

ARE RSC 0587
William Dale confirms that this was car #17 at the 1987 Spa 24 Hrs (red, Telemoustique) and #9 at Bathurst and Calder that year,

1988 Cars

ARE RSC 0188
Andy Rouse's 1988 BTCC Kaliber RS500 - TT Winner sharing with Alain Ferte and sold onto Peter Brock for use in 1989 ATCC (TBC)
NOTE: If this is Rouse's 88 Kaliber car then it is the car driven by Peter Brock for most of 1989 ATCC. However, it was not this car that was re-shelled, it was the other ex-Rouse Mobil Sierra that may have been re-shelled. This was the car Robb Gravett drove in 1988 in ICS colours; possibly Pete Hall's car from the year before?
