Lovely that, really nice job.

The Morettes and Azevs don't do much for me but Mallard is such a lovely colour, definitely the best of the bunch.

Does look funny on those Mondeo wheels though On a normal Escort they would probably look quite big but they look totally lost on a Cosworth!

Azevs have gone got comps now
