Never heard of Tony Hilton before, all I know he is a compnay director and he is from Southampton.
That Hilton Sierra is a bit of a mystery- it certainly never appeared, although it did appear in entry lists during the season- I don't have the actual programme to hand just now, but IIRC it's listed in the entry for the round supporting the Group C sportscars at Brands in July or so

It's been mentioned before in the thread- Jesper posted some stuff from an April issue of Autosport, which reported the Hilton RS500 was due to debut at Thruxton, but that's about all I know about it:

So was this intended to be an existing car bought from one of the 1988 Sierra runners, or an all-new machine?
