Yes, I'd forgotten the capacity limit (3.6 wasn't it, conveniently for Rover...
) keeping out Mustangs, Camaros etc. The CC Mustang only ever ran in the ETCC as a result
When was it removed- possibly '87? I seem to remember some rumours of the Grice Commodore possibly taking in a couple of BTCC rounds- the GP support at least- during his European season, but not being able to because of the capacity limit, a problem that didn't exist when the same car was run by Linden/ADR for Mike O'Brien a year later...
