The best thing he remembers about it was the glorious noise it made, the worst was its size and lack of power steering meant it almost impossible to steer at low speed on rally tyres. He only did a couple of events in it and sold it on to a northerner who wanted to develop it into a tarmac car.Unfortunately he can,t recall his name.
Hope this helps, anymore specific questions I will gladly pass on.

Just to recap, I strongly suspect that this was one of the two CS-H/Juicy Jeans cars Rouse ran in 1981.
Sawyer - Hoare kept his car until the end of 1983 as it was entered at Macau and the Rouse car was hired occasionally that season too, Mark Hales for one raced it at the BGP BSCC round. One of the cars is thought to have been an ex Woodman car that Rouse bought sometime in 1980?
