Default Ex M-sport group A.

Hi! I hope there is some rallygurus out there that can help me find som info on this car: P10MWM. It was built by M-sport in august 1996 and then entered by Jarmo Kytolehto in Finland, San Remo, Catalunya and the RAC in that season. In 1997 Jarmo used it in the finnish championship.

It´s now that I need your help! I think it went back to the UK after the 97-season but there it ends. It was brought to Sweden in 2004 and as since then been rebuilt with wrc-spec engine and bodykit. So I have a gap to fill between 1997-2004. Anyone who can assist with some knowledge?

Thanks in advance!

"cozzfather" on here will probably be able to shed some light, he seems to know a lot about the Group A Escorts and who drove which ones.

Yes I hope he can shed som light in this subject. And maybe tell some more about the cars Malcolm Wilson Motorsport ran before they took over the works cars and WRC-programme in 1997. I know M10MWM was another "semi-works" car that they ran. Driven by Stephen Finlay and Ari Vatanen for example.

Yes there was a few. One of the cars with MWM on the plate was used on the '96 RAC by Alister McRae, but I can't remembr which one.

I think L10 MWM was used by Finlay on the '94 Irish Tarmac Championship.

Then there was K200 FMC which started on a Grp N car but then became a Grp A car for Robbie Head. And there was Wilson's own car, I think that was K202 HNO or similar. Though those plates might well have been used on different shells of course, as no rally car has a simple existence!

Yes and I think the M10 MWM was used by Ari Vatanen on the 96 RAC. That time when he broke the steering early on. It´s not easy to keep track on all these cars!

No doubt Mr Cozzfather will answer all your questions, he really knows his stuff with these.

The F2 RS2000s are more my area!
