anthony81901 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The Barry Naismith 1988 Bathurst annual has Miedecke's car as new at the beginning of the year, with Bagnall having the car built for Bathurst 87, while The Great Race has them the other way around. Miedecke was operating on a fairly tight budget, so it would have made sense for the new car to go to Bagnall.

So if the Miedecke Motorsport car was not used by the Mobil team, presumably the Noske car was Brad Jones 1989 ATCC car, that Barry Sheene supposedly destroyed in testing.

There were definately 5 B&H Sierras. At Bathurst 1989 the 2nd Wolf car was used as a T car (pictured in the 1990 Bathurst program), and again in 1990 (pictured on page 104 of The Great Race). The last car's log book was issued on 01 August 1990, so the 3 cars at the Waneroo round in June must have been the 88 LHD and 2 Wolf cars. The Wolf cars can be distinguished by having the airjack points to the right of the grill rather than in the centre.

Also there was a picture in Auto Action in late 1990 of all 4 Sierras still owned by Longhurst when it was announced that the team were switching to BMWs.
