The one we built from new was in 1996 and was an escort cosworth (rallycar).

It had a brand new motorsport shell (so many points), new engine (more points) all the running gear, gearbox, glass etc was second hand (no points). The interior had all new seats, belts, extinguishers etc (more points as we had receipts to prove new). The lady from the DVLC came out to inspect was here for 20 mins, asked to go on a test drive (passenger) and it was issued with a brand new numberplate relating to that year. Non of the main scoring point items came direct from Ford.

Its still around today

As I said that was a while ago things may have changed now ??
