I don't think I remember them being active in prodsaloons as well, but won't swear to this
If it was the Containerships Group A rally Nova that Kaye used at the GP meeting, rather than his own prodsaloon, then this could be the car in question (seen here with Chris Birkbeck on the Manx Rally)

All we need now is a pic of Kaye at the GP.... |
I can't supply a pic, but (report in Autosport) can confirm it was Birkbeck's Nova Sport, and Kaye's first time out on slick tyres.
