From memory, he'd done some rallying in his home country of New Zealand - he'd run a full "all bells and whistles" EVO on big bucks against older, less spent on them cars and done well.

Probably more a question for the V8 Sleuth but THINK that it was an ex-Paragon car, previously driven by Cameron McLean and run by some of the same crew.
