Unfortunatly your link doesnt show the 16i you refure to, I would very much like to know more about it if possable.
In Germany there is a Group A RS1600i with a twin cam CVH!!
Looking through the pics on Racingsportscars.com, I can find a few of the European RSis

Scuderia Calanda (Swiss- here at Brno in 83, Peter Ullmann/Edi Kamm)

Autosas Stilauto (here at Brno in 1983 & 84. Presumably Italian from the drivers)

Gerstmann Racing (Spa 1985- Jorg van Ommen, Annette Meeuvissen, Arno Wester- I know they were at both of the British rounds of the ETCC that season)
http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc...-07-28-075.jpg

Auto Veri (seen here at Brno '83- Lilli Reisenbichler/Jurgen Hamelmann...)
http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc...-06-12-081.jpg
....and Zolder '85- Gerd Ruch, Bodo Jahn- with the Gerstmann car in the background as a bonus!)
http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc...-09-29-089.jpg

The Gerstmann and possibly 1985 the Auto Veri cars are the only ones I ever saw as I recall. I'll have a look through my few usable 1985 TT pics to see if I've got any more.

Wonder what happened to all of these- they'd all pretty much gone from the ETCC after 1985
