Paul owned the car for at least five years judging by the information on the V5.
During the time Paul owned the car it was involved in an accident that required it to be re-shelled. A shell was aquired off Prodrive (build number 022)
This shell looks to have been a '99 shell as it has the extra bracing/fillets around the windscreen aperture of the '99 cars.

Steve Furzeland imported the car back to the UK for me in 2008 and I sent the car to Melvyn Evans for the bodywork to be renovated and the engine to have a partial rebuild.by Graham Sweet.
Here is the car on arrival at Melvyns workshop :
And after Melvyns renovation :

I intended to hillclimb and sprint the car but never got round to it.
In 2009 I placed the car back on the market and in August of that year Prodrive bought the car off me on behalf of a Japanese client.
They stripped the car (undoing all Melvyns hard work in the process !) then painted it World Rally blue and shipped it to Japan for the client to place in his collection.

Really Pad ? One of the staff at SGM in Banbury (Prodrives' bodyshop) seemed to think that Prodrive had a shell in storage and it went out to Barbados. Perhaps we've just solved the mystery of what happened to R9 WRC . . . . .
I noticed when I peeled a sticker off the roll cage it was painted red underneath. Was R9 WRC ever painted red ?
