I'm not sure that JM had anything to do with that one ?

The Commodore looks like the VL used by Dutchman Jeroen Hin during the 1987 season-

He appeared at a couple of ETCC/WTCC rounds including the Spa 24 hours, always with 'Playboy' sponsorship- I'd assumed that Covey and Clark had leased the Commodore from Hin (or whichever European team usually prepared it) for the TT, but did John Maguire run the car for them? The team were there anyway, as they were running Tim Harvey's Istel Rover,

and the Metros usually featured on the support card for the TT
