This is the 1984 start: http://www.fotop.net/Reis/Reis36/10a_Jaguar
No Capris close to the Marlboro 635, but plenty of Toyota Corollas and this was the only time the Jags were in Macau.

So P Morris backed the Schnitzer cars in '83 as well as '84 then? If that's the case then the CS-H car running in '83 certainly makes more sense.

I suspct that whoever was in it at Macau, that car would've been in Group A spec, as that's how it was at the '82 TT that ORP referrred to earlier. Need to check the '82 Tricentrol results, but was that car actually at the final round in October? if so it would've been converted back to G1 trim after the TT and then back to GA for the Guia race in '83. (unless of course Sawyer-Hoare still had both the cars at Rouse's workshops after '81). Hmmm.....
