Glorified national saloon car cup entrant. Nigel Albon did a fairly credible job keeping the car fairly competitive in the 94 Total cup given the likes of Nigel Smith were running an ex RML EE Cavalier which was no slouch. Even managed to pick up a win.
Hence the comments by Tim Harvey a few years back in a 'the worst car I ever drove' interview about it looking like a 'converted road car'. IIRC it was designed and built by Renault's rally team, and it showed!
