But how many Volvos were build for and during 1985? I have seen no reference to Eggenberger Volvos being ex-something or for that matter that later Volvos were ex-Eggenberger. Did RAS Sport build their own cars - they had little time to do so as I understand it - or was this rejigged Eggenberger cars, as an example.
Hope this question will get things back on track

Good questions. By my reckoning there were something like 4 Volvo's built for '85, one was badly trashed early in the season and another car later in the year IIRC?
I also have a vague suspicion that the cars may actually have been 'owned' by Volvo and that at least 2 of them formed the backbone of the '86 RAS attack? Need this clarifying though.
