Default What am I driving?

I have cosworth escort "motorsport #103", I get no info of how's this different from others so can someone lighten me up a bit? It's from Italy and has T35 turbo, -92? What is this "motorsport"-edition? Is it same than Martini Edition?

As far as my (limited) knowledge goes, the motorsport versions where none sun roof shells, with less toys (ie, no electric windows ETC) and that was about it, but i'm sure someone will give you a much better reply soon.

If it has a motorsport number on the dash it will be one of the limited run of commemorative escorts, martini or monte edition. What colour is the car?

It is not on the list here so some pics would be nice.

It's diamond white, it has that whale tail but wrc front bumper so i guess that front bumper has been put there later. It's ugly bumper tbh, i'm looking for cossie one for reasonable price ^^ wasn't on the list, it's number 103 and reads motorsport and there's some martini badges in it. Also some macaroni has cut a hole on bonnet for more ventilation *sigh*... Car itself is in good condition, no rust or scratches anywhere really, just those what I said and also there's yellow extra spoiler on back which reads Wolf, musta been added later I guess. Also sadly those original seats have been changed to Sparco Star seats, what else humm... It has electrical windows but may they have been added later? No sunroof and some random carbon look panels under stereo and on some button places and smoke lightener. Oh and it's LHD.

I'll put up some pics when I fix the look a bit first

I know there was Monte edition, and those were T35 cars with OZ Monte wheels. Then there was this Motorsport edition, and I suppose it lacked sunroof, some sound deadening and other comforts and it was made with T35. But what is the Martini edition then? Did they have same wheels as Monte edition? I've seen Martini edition cars with cloth seats which have ''Motorsport'' text in them?

BTW I found this: http://www.blocket.se/eslov/Ford_Esc....htm?ca=11&w=3

Original Monte edition, 25 000 km, it's #048 and costs about 38 000 €.
