But Wills bought it out of Australia as a Group C car in the 1980s to run the Cool Wool series, which is what the ShellSport series morphed into. Obviously a LOT of work required to return it to Group C spec.
Think Phil Henley also ran a RX7 Group C from Aus in series. Pretty sure Cran Judge (AC Gill Menswear) may have been involved in it (owned it). Got videos somewhere of them racing.

It is very different to Group C now, and has its own history now.
