Very very nice. It's been quite a while since I've seen a Cossie on the road. Infact ordinary Sierras are very very thin on the ground now.

Every now and then, I get to spy an Escort Cosworth in a garage near me. It must be years since it was on the road, cos until I saw it a few months ago, I'd assumed it must've been sold.

I think a lot of them have also met their fate at the hands of the 'Lotus 7' kit car builders

A neighbour used to have one. A condition of the insurance was that it had to be garaged over night, unfortunately there wasn't room for a garage. The Insurance co were happy though for him to fit a garage door to the front of his carport  :-?  ;D  ;D  ;D and that's where it was 'garaged' over night  :y  :y

This is similar to one I once saw and wanted.  This may actually be the same car.

Stuffed full of nitrous'd Chevy V8 350

Remember a time of 9.7 @ 135 mph in full street trim at Santa Pod.  But ran faster than that on different tyres.
