Don't think anyone said

A lot of people loved the absurdity of them which is fine

I. Then there's the alleged roof chop the Primera's had, I forget which driver claimed this, apparently they needed a new door so tried to fit one off a production car only to find the production door was a few inches too tall!

That was the TWR era Rovers I think?

I'm pretty sure the story I heard was Matt Neal's Primera in late 99. Will try and find a source but I guess there's a lot of hearsay! - Edit - All I can find are references to an article in Evo by (or interviewing) Tim Harvey.

There were probably a few of them at it, I thought that it was the Mondeo?

The Volvos got sold to a team in Australia they the story goes they needed a windscreen so popped down to a local Volvo dealer bought one from a standard car went to fit it AMD found its something like 4 inches to tall.
