                    Yes there were 4 made, one was given to vauxhall to delvelop which is the one above, the other remaining one is in a museum in Russelheim (sp)

                    The other 2, were developed for the Paris Dakar race which John welch bought, wrote one off and rallied the other, which incidentally produced 740bhp and 500lb/ft in it's final incarnation.
