(Edited to add- just had a quick search, and came up with some pics on the Pistonheads forum from a July '87 Thundersaloon meeting at Silverstone- which I guess must be the one I was at.)

The Dawson Quattro:

and returning back on topic- the 240RS in the pit garage- Bryan Litherland/Rhoddy Harvey-Bailey according to the forum post I found it on

For some reason I remembered the Quattro being yellow, because Dawson had run some Audi's in Africa or something sponsored by a firm that had a yellow branding, was it HB or Camel or something?, Dodgy memory from me there then!

Good find re the Litherland car, this is something I could've sworn was plain white but it's obviously in NME colours in the garage there! But I might be getting confused with the John Bell car.

Rhoddy Harvey-Bailey as co-driver is in itself interesting as he was a renowned handling expert, an expertise I would imagine was quite handy in running the Nissan in race spec!
