i used to own a escort cosworth and a 3dr cosworth that came from luxembourg, the 3dr was still on lux plates when i got it reg mq 668, it had a sticker on the boot which said euro rallye team, i understand that it was somthing to do with bruno thierry.
for a small country theres a lot of interest in motorsport particularly rallying.

nice project matey
