Would that have made the Johnson-Mustang blue? From the early 1986 Wellington 500 highligt video I remember a blue Ford Escort RS1600i - production car by the look of the wheels - in what I remember as John Andrew Ford sponsorship.
A John Andrew ex-Ruedi Eggenberger Ford Sierra XR4Ti made about half the 1987 ATCC rounds in the hands of both Chricton and Denny Hulme. I think that particular car made its southern debut at Wellington in early 1987, Steve Soper co-driving.
Otherwise, I have read your recent posts with great exitement, brendonwood1. Most of this is new territory for me. I'm noting that dates for the various races are a bit fluent at the moment, but will have a look at
