ringing,rally re shells and cocking a cozzie needs its own forum matey

basically the majority of rally cozzies from new did not have id in the usual place in the floorpan.
if you smashed up a escort cosworth rally shell you got another rally shell and swapped the lot over and go again. no id in the floor so no one can tell and thats how ford sold them,they did have a tag on the slam panel but not a proper floor stamp.

remember a lot of big rally teams would have say 2 spare shells per car and in a bang would use one to get the car prepared for a event.

when them cars got sold sometimes the spare shells would not go with the car so a shell with no id would be sat there and maybe sold to a noggin who used a xr3i id to put the car back into service.

obviously a stolen shell or car can be fooked around with a xr3i or rs2000 id the same,either way its dodgy unless you have recipts to prove. the police could sieze that car if they get told its not what it seems.

i would be much happier if it was on a q plate and said escort cos,atleast you know the dvla have had a butchers lol
