A test car? Which would also maybe explain the accident damage too

There is still at least one 240RS that competes on a regular basis in the UK - we've been up against it a few times (we can beat it in the wet on twisty stages ). I think it's owned by Ian Roberton (and I think it's actually chassis #1).

Maybe see if you can get in touch with the people that built the car? It's surprising just how much info you can get if you manage to get hold of the right people.
