IIRC, the series may have run with the original shells but then changed to the facelifted I.E. louvred headlight surrounds models later on. Might not have that correct!
The series was a mixture of races, rallies and hillclimbs is that right? Interesting concept I thought.
There were one or two guest or 'celebrity cars'. ARG liked having those in their one make championships. I think Tony Pond was seen in one of those, or possibly development hacks when he competed!

I think your right... I have found a few pictures of a metro, must be from 94-95 or later, as theres a land rover discovery in the background. The car has Air-Jacks fitted, the bonnet came off as a whole (as opposed to being on hinges) the red line on the tacho is at 8k as opposed to the standard 6500 I think it is. The rear spoiler seems a lot bigger as well!! there is a side exit exhaust, and the wheels are completely different!!
I also found out that Tony Pond was a guest driver in 1993 in 2 of the international rallies in the Tate and Lyle sponsored car. Aparently it looked just like a tub of golden syrup, with the green and gold!!!
