Finaly found a pic of one

 

 

Uk RHD one too! Didn't Chumkila have those wheels on his RS1800 years ago?

Doesn't look too bad really!

Where did you find the pic?

 

As said, how could they have justified building that? Was just a friday afternoon project i expect when they were bored

 

Same reason they built a vr6 golf methinks

 

'Cosworth and Ford, the road cars',by Graham Robson

 

I remember seeing a yellow one at the rsoc national day years ago on a ford motor company display stand

 

taken from the book, Brain Harts proto type 24v engine





one whats been found



and FBE (race version of the FBE) my engine

 

Erm thats totally different mate! VW at the time didnt have a quicker golf. Ford did have the Escort cosworth... Thats why they would have never produced the above!


Cool find though

 

Thats cool in a bizarre way.

Wonder if it would have sold?

 

Would be a cool car now, a decent RWD Ford, something we HAVENT got any more and sorely need.

Itd deffo have kept the ford name alive in this day and age better than the current cars.

 

Not really, It was mentionined in the Graham robson Book i have that it was researched and promoted internally at Ford as a direct competitor to the golf vr6 , the vr6 was by no means out and out sports orientated, it was a very well equiped v6 cruiser, exactly what the escort would have been.

Thats the book if you want o read it for yourself

 

I see one at Silverstone about 5 years ago on a Ford Stand, im sure it was blue. I do remember that the inlet was on the offside not the nearside as in the Granada.

Steve.

 

Cheers

 

Cool find JohnnyB
