They dissapeared...:p



Seriously, they kinda said they were coming back, but never did. A lot of rumours went about that VLR had the IS200's, as they had done some work to them, hadn't been payed and hence, confiscated them.

The same thing as happened to that second car - presumably not enough £s

It's a damn shame as they were quicker than the Peugeots in 2001!

I thought somebody was thinking of using them in europe (but that never happened either). It's a shame if they're just hanging around in a garage somewhere.

We should find out where, because they cannot be gone...

Makes you wonder where all the other old BTCC cars have gone!

Some of the old supertourers are being raced in the formula saloons championship. There's half a laguna in a shed at thruxton which I assume is used for marshall training of some sort (what else could you do with half a car?). And I spotted John clelands vauxhall vectra from 1996 on a stand at the autosport show.

The other half is proably in the bush where Menu parked it in 1996! :p

Not that I'm bias but as I own a sportz hatch.

I know that when we were running the 2ltrs here some of the old cars were shipped out. They all run in a class called Improved Sports Saloons under 2ltrs
