I won't swear to this, but think Dave Appleby's Vitesse might have been an ex-Computervision car. I think one went to Scotland- the name Gordon Smith rings a vague bell?
The other well-known rally SD1s that come to mind from that period are Bob Fowden's car in Wales and Ken Wood's 'Golden Wonder' car in Scotland, but I think these were earlier Group 2(?) cars, rather than Group A Vitesses so maybe a bit outside the scope of this thread?- I've got a feeling Ken Wood's car might have been ex-works though? It would have presumably been sold on after he got his 6R4 in 1986
