There are 2 versions of the motorsport. There is a lightweight factory/dealer road going version with a genuine escort cosworth log book (like a BMW CSL or a 911RS) and there is a trimmed 909 version without any running gear or engine that are not down as an escort cosworth on the log book. These were intended for people who were rallying 4x4 sierras already so they could just drop their running gear straight in and save a few quid. The 909 versions are not recognised by the owners club i believe due to the log book not stating escort cosworth even though they are a genuine shell. The 909 also had no underseal but the road version did.

As standard all motorsports had the following spec - no sunroof - no radio - no aerial - no fogs - no electric windows - no central locking - no padded arm rest - no rear arm rest - no air con - no electric mirrors - no boot release - black door mirrors - no headlight wash - no rear head rests - no light in boot - no low fuel or washer warning lights - no glove box light - black mirrors - no spare wheel cover - fixed rear side windows - no passenger mirror on passenger sunvisor - karmann front seats - a riveted boot floor panel for easy access to the fuel pump.

This is my road going motorsport but i'd love to see some pics of the trimmed shells.
