Perhaps someone can fill in some NZ history

I recall seeing an RS500 in Brock colours competing in the South Island many years ago along with a Dick Johnson Racing RS500. I thought it was a historic event (it was on tv from memory), but maybe it was an endurance event. I thought it was later than the 1990s but could be wrong.

Another Rouse Sierra that ended up in NZ was the XR4i he used to win the 1985 BTCC. It was purchased by Ford NZ and first competed at the 1986 Wellington Street Race, shared by Rouse and David Oxton. That car has since vanished, unless someone knows more?
