Comments
Driven by Gavin Smith in the 2005 and 2006 BTCC.

At the end of the season the car went to Opel Sweden to evaluate. Initial suggestions were that the car was converted to S2000-spec and run as an an Opel GTC in the Swedish series, but actually that was a new car.

The remains of the stripped shell eventually returned to the UK, and sometime around 2010 was put on a display stand outside Bicester College. The car would remain there until 2020 when it was rescued by Eliot Dunmore.
