It was actually worse than that. Graham's RS500 road car was stolen out of the paddock one night at Oulton Park (motorhome one side, full of sleeping Goode family, transporter the other full of sleeping mechanics). In the boot was Grahams briefcase, containing ALL of his setup and testing information, engine and chassis, not only for the RS500's but also from his Group A Nissan Bluebird, a major blow that took a long time to recover from...
Here's a picture of the two Listerine RS500's in 1990, taken at Silverstone by Dennis Foy, the editor of Performance Ford Magazine at the time. (Sadly, Dennis passed away unexpectedly last week. R.I.P. Dennis).
