Build by MSD for the 1994 South African Touring Car Championship, where it was driven by Grant McCleery, and later shared by McCleery and Anthony Reid for the end-of-season International Touring Car Challenge.

Unused after than until the end of 1996 when both this and the sister car (MSD-TA-008) were sold to Slovenian team Lambko Novial. Dragomil Bozič would drive the sister car in the 1997 and 1998 Central European and Slovenian Championships whilst 007 was kept as a spare and parts donor.

By late 1999 the engine had been removed and sold on with chassis 008, whilst the gearbox and much of the electrical parts were later removed and fitted to a tarmac rally car. The car remained stored in a garage until being unearthed in late 2015.
