One of the UK motor magazines could well have been loaned YOUR car by Ford Spiky - to use for a road test article/long term test....So one of the mags would have published pictures of the car you now own, possiblly even a pic of it on the front cover.....
Remember the launch of the Escort Cosworth was BIG news back then, every UK mag would have got their hands on one of those early press cars for a feature article!!!!
