YTM 792X was Team Datsun Europe works entry on 1981 RAC Rally, #25 Andy Dawson/Kevin Gormley (retired) - a specially imported Bluebird Turbo [910] from Japan which arrived in uprated works Safari spec, and was then recalibrated by TDE for use in Europe. Not sure if this is 1981 RAC footage or a later (snowy) event in 1982. Info sources - here and this Feb 82 Triple C magazine article. Same footage also here.

YTM 793X was another TDE Datsun, but a Violet (photo from 1982 1000 Lakes)

I don't know what happened at the DVLA, but the [910] Bluebird was called Bluebird in Europe, not 180B.

About the event, it's Sören Nilsson at the 1983 Swedish Rally : Link to "scontent.fbru1-1.fna.fbcdn.net"
