Forgotten that name, but sure he was still around with Colin Bond when he graduated to the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth later in the decade. Actually found him as Enrico Zanarini.

Shame that Rover deal never materialised, it would've been a very competitive proposition against what was generally speaking quite a weak entry, in terms of depth, if not quality. The Tim Slako Rover managed to run well as selected events and there is little doubt, based on their relative performances in the 1984 BTCC, that a TWR car would've been quicker than the already quite elderly ex Patrick/Rouse car that Slako had bought from Sawyer-Hoare.
It was good to see the numbers swell as the season wore on with numerous people debuting Commodore's and the other cars like 635's sourced from Europe and NZ I think?
Cheers for the spelling correction on Enrico's surname as well Jesper.
