Seeing entries like this, Skid was running a Martin Thomas car IIRC.
There are a few "unknown" against Rover Vitesse entries, and they look like Martin Thomas jobbies too.
Yes that's right R59, as researched to great length in the Rover thread, Skid's car was a Martin Thomas machine, originally built in 1983 for Gordon Spice and then run for several years by Neil McGrath.

Dennis Leech's original car was also Thomas run, but we're not sure if his ex TWR chassis was in play by 1987, highly likely it was as his performances were much stonger against people like Rouse, suggesting he had newer equipment at his disposal.
