The car being advertised in Europe with contacts given in the UK and Germany suggests it didn't go back 'down under'

Yes, great, thanks again KA.
The question that springs to mind from that advert is were they acting as agents for the sale on behalf of Brock or Holden?
With the TT as a taster, did the Cleland's and Vince initially have designs on running it in the BTCC or ETCC in 1987, presumably as a pseudo works effort with DCRS/Opel Europe?
