As far as I remember, Gooding did a programme of mainly European (ERC?) events in 86 with his Rover- think he tended to compete abroad a fair amount- (didn't he score a top 10 finish on the Portuguese WRC round in a Chevette HSR in the early 80s?)
Catnic Lintels definitely rings a bell as one of his sponsors, and as you suggested I'm sure it was the family business. Think the Rover also carried backing from one of the electrical goods companies- maybe Servis? There was an article in 'Retro Cars' magazine recently about 60's/70's rallycrosser Jeff Williamson which included a pic of the Gooding Rover- believe he owned it for a while after Gooding.
