A good find Chris - any chance you could scan it in and post it for us all to see?
I wonder if the 1983 Manx Rally Rover was indeed a converted Sanyo touring car then?
The 1983 Criterium Lucien Bianchi took place over the weekend of 2-4 September, and Tom Walkinshaw crashed the car whilst lying 8th Overall. The 1983 Manx Rally took place over the weekend of 15-17 September - a mere 2 weeks later! In reality, the quickest way to fulfil their commitments on the Isle of Man would therefore be to convert a touring car.
Unfortunately, the Manx outing only lasted till Stage 2 when the back axle broke.
All we need now is to find some photos from the 1983 Manx Rally....
