If so, that again points to Chatfield's car being 018, as the Chatfield and Bornebusch cars must be different chassis. Both cars were being actively raced in the 1987/8 period after being sold off by TWR, Chatfield using his former Bastos car in Modsaloons and Thundersaloons in 1987/8, as well as a few 1987 BTCC rounds...

...while Bornebusch ran his white car in the Swedish series (and the Anderstorp ETCC round?) in 1987, before moving on to an RS500 for 1988, and handing the Rover on to daughter Eva.

Bornebusch Senior did most of the ETCC season in 1988 with his new RS500, sharing with Ulf Larsson, while both cars were raced at home in Sweden (the RS500 can be seen behind the Rover in one of the pics I linked) by both Eva and Larsson- Eva also appearing with the SD1 at the Nogaro ETCC round at the end of the season.
Another question- Kevin Eaton's car used in Modsaloons around 1989/90. IIRC there was a suggestion earlier in the thread that this might also be 020- so did the Bornebusch car return to the UK?
Kaj Bornebusch certainly visited the UK a couple of times early in 1989, as he did the first couple of BTCC rounds and the Donington ETCC race in his RS500...

Kevin Eaton's car wasn't the old Bornebush one, it was ex-Bastos, I think bought directly from TWR.
I'm also sure that as well as driving the RS500 at Donington, Kaj also co-drove the Rover with his daughter too!
