Group A Rover SD1/Vitesse Rally History (sep from main thread)
Just to clarify the rally cars a little- Computervision sponorship only appeared in 85- the 1984 cars were plain white, sometimes with Daily Mirror & Unipart backing

From a pic in an Esso advert in the 85 TT programme, Tony Pond's Computervision car carried the registration 'B565AOX'. There's also a pic of a white(?) car registered 'A479WOE' in the same ad- Pond's 84 RAC car, which had the infamous accident on the first special stage was 'A478WOE'. I've no idea how many rally cars there were, or what the chassis numbers were- I think a second Computervision car appeared on occasion in 85, so there could have been quite a few cars involved over the few years the programme ran. Might be worth a separate thread on the rally/rallycross forum....
