Prior to a VL being sold back to England, i can 100% confirm it was in Finland. The dutch rally cross cars i think were the last of the VK's left over there.
I've just sent you a PM.... but we may as well try and keep this going again!
I always assumed the Belgian cars were bought second hand from Australia at the beginning of '87 with Spa in mind. So most likely VK;s which were then facelifted?

Serge Power i'm sure had 2 cars, pedalled by various rent-a-drivers (including Delcourt). I remember seeing both at the '87 TT in the atrocious weather. The 2nd car was hired by some Brit drivers; Jerry Mahoney and I can't recall the other guy. One of the cars was a Dutch entry Jeroen Hin's Playboy car?

I think there might have been a 3rd private VL in that race prep'd by John Maguire Racing which was driven by club racers Vic Covey and Andrew Jeffrey?
