I have just come across the Sales Brochure for the TWR Auction which is quite helpful in pinning down Tom's own chassis number for the 1986 season.
It says:- The example included in the sale carries a TWR chassis plate which states 'Model: Group A Rover Vitesse, Chassis Number: 019, Build Date: January 1986'. It then goes on to say that it was run in all 14 of the ETCC rounds in 1986, driven almost exclusively by Walkinshaw and Percy. The exception to this was round 8 at the Osterreichring where Armin Hahne replaced Walkinshaw and in round 9 at Spa where Eddy Joosen joined as third driver.
It won at Monza and Donington, finished 2nd at Jarama and Estoril, 3rd at Misano, Silverstone and Zolder and 4th at Hockenheim and the Nurburgring.
This car is now owned by Jeff Allam .
In reply to Jesper OH, I had 3 x 2nd places in 1987, Snetterton, Silverstone and the Oulton Park 1 hr race - sharing with Jeff Allam. I also had a 3rd place at Thruxton. They were all absolutely cracking races !!!
I'll see what else I can find out.
