KA - I've actually made an error in Post #276 above, as it was actually the 1982 Pace Petroleum Rallysprint, not the 1980 event! Please accept my apologies therefore.
Ken Wood acquired it in late 1982, and subsequently debuted it on the 1983 Ladbroke Snowman Rally on 12 February. The car was used throughout 1982 in Group 2 specification, before the bodywork / engine were upgraded to Series 2 SD1 / Vitesse specification for the 1984 season. The last event that Ken used the Rover was the 1985 Audi Sport National Rally - a week later and he won his first rally in the Golden Wonder 6R4.
Ken sold the Rover to Euan Pyper for the 1986 season. It is after that, that I think Duncan Jaffray acquired the car - see Hugh's Post #271.
