I can only second your comment, ka - great info, racer69. Although the Bathurst and AMRY annuals has great details about the seasons, all the weekly news and rumours probably never made it beyond Australia.
Regarding the 1987 Small/Grice/Nissan WTCC plans, Grice - and presumably Small - had raced one of the New Zealand Skyline DR30s on a one-off chance at the 1986/1987 South Pacific Touring Car Championship with either Kent Baigent or Graeme Bowkett, winning the race. Their plans was, as I know it, to enter the new HR31 for the '87 WTCC, but that car was badly delayed, homologated by March but seing it's race debut at the Fuji Intertec 500 late in the year.
Interesting that the Bowkett name appears with Grice and Small, as it has just been mentioned that Bowkett was the customer for the first complete Group A Commodore VK build by Roadways!
