In 1996 the car was loaned to Volvo Australia where it was driven by Peter Brock and Jim Richards in an all red livery.

In 1997 Jim Richards continued to use the car in the Australian Super Touring series, before handing it over to Cameron McLean and Jan Nilsson for use in the 1997 Bathurst 1000.

In 1998 the car returned to Sweden under the care of Greger Petersson at SportPromotion, where it has remained untouched ever since.
