Driven by Colin Turkington for the latter part of the 2005 BTCC season, switching from V2005-014 after it was damaged at the Croft round. For 2006 the car was driven by Tom Chilton.

With the works team switching to the S2000 Vectra in 2007, 3 cars (V2005-014, V2005-016 and V2005-017) were sold to Erkut Kizilirmak.

Unused in 2007 the car would be driven by Erkut Kizilirmak in the latter part of the 2008 BTCC. Kizilirmak had used V2005-016 at the start of the year but when that car was badly damaged at Donington Park he would switch to this car for the remainder of the year.

In 2013, both V2005-016 and V2005-017 were purchased by Philip Morgan

Following an extensive rebuild it returned to the track at the 2023 Super Touring Power event.
