History:
Built for Trevor Taylor in 2005 to be used himself and son Stewart in selected events through to 2007. In 2008, the car was bought by Dale Perry of RallyDrive NZ and used by Mark Tapper in the 2008 Rally Wairarapa. Car was then next used by Stephen Barker in 2009 and converted to Evo 7 for NZRC Open Class rules.

Car was then bought by Dylan Turner in 2011 and transferred back to Evo 8. Was used in Xtreme and Top Half Rally Series. Unfortunately, it suffered a rather large off that destroyed the car and it was rebuilt into an Evo 9 in 2012. Fitted with a Sequential Box in 2012. Used in 2014, 15 and 16 NZRC events. Car purchased by Warick Redfern at the beginning of 2017.
