Yes it does seem strange that if it was indeed 'their' car that Cheylsmore didn't do the full season....
The Stuck deal was great for the series but does smack of a PR stunt by BMW or something like that...
If a car was already built and sitting dormant in the UK it would certainly have been logical to get hold of it rather than buy/lease a car from Germany..
Bit like Rouse running a 2nd Merkur at a couple of big events in 1985, good PR for Ford and I suspect related to what Rouse was looking for from Ford's going forward.
