Found a couple of photos I took in the paddock at the Brands Hatch British Grand Prix (17th July 1982) of the Unipart Metro Challenge Mini Moke support vehicle which may be of interest.
(The Datapost Metros racing on the day in the GP support races were the Group A turbo cars running in the RAC British Saloon Car Championship driven by Richard Longman & Alan Curnow).

Great pictures. I really wanted a Scalextric Datapost Metro in 1982 :)
(I think that had a blue and white livery though?)

1986 ETCC round on the new Nürburgring. Very bad circuit for taking pics from the spectator areas as the track is so far off everywhere.
