Does anyone know the exact Yellow colour used in the Michelin Pilot Rally cars?

Name, codes etc.

cheers

Kenny.

 

why not try emailing these guys!! http://www.m-sport.co.uk/
i'm sure they would help!

 

kenny, a few years back you could buy vans direct from michelin the same colour
as the rally cars, that means someone in a trade paint suppliers will have the code
in one of the paint books, i have seen the name and colours for all sorts of firms and
fleets

 

We have L10MWM in the garage, unfortunately its been completely resprayed red, inside and out.

 

you mean this baby is yours???

 

Its sold to a guy in Souther Ireland, just getting it all put back together again, good pic there, you dont have any pic's of R1FMC?(ex Carlos Sainz) we have it for sale aswel, we would have it now 2/3 years its been converted to RHD and its red aswel! lol i would put up some pic's of them when i get home.

 

Hi ELFRANCO

Nice car, does it still compete in many rally events? Or does someone keep it for special events.

I won't copy the colour scheme exactly, but I would like to use the correct Yellow and of course blue.



Karl

you're an expert for info and a great source for photos. Di you have some more

cheers

Kenny.

 

i may need this info my self, as may change the cozzy to this scheam next year.........andy

 

Some pic's of car, just painted last week.

 

Some pic's of the car,its been sitting in there for some time

 

Looks a cool car mate, but why paint it red? The Pilot's cool as fuck

 

i have this one and i got eammon boland in a r reg wrc (the black one)


and i got me favourite Irish driver Frank Meagher in another r reg wrc,
i think Franks was Juha Kannkunen's






Elfranco if your into Irish Tarmac rallying with a ex works Sainz wrc car and a ex MWM car that Stephen Murphy drove you must be well connected in Irish motorsport, and you'll know who Frank was

Irish Rally Legend Frank Meagher

another Michelin Pilot car driven by Malcolm himself


i love escort cosworths i really do, some of you lot get out there and see and hear and feel a rally escort cosworth, its quite a experiance and the smell of the fuel,brakes,clutch, tyres if its tarmac is somthing that stays with you

When we got it (R1 FMC), it was red and then we used it for a couple of years Gary, it needed tidying up before we could sell it thats why it got a full respray,
Hi Karl, we are Mc Neill Motorsport,yep we knew Frank Meagher, i think his car was in here last year, it was for sale, not to sure who has it now, we would run rally cars for people, Neil Dougans Subaru S12 ex Kevin Lynch car, Neil was very friendly with Colin Mc Rae (RIP) who would have set it up for him, its just been painted blue and the colour scheme was designed by the school children were Colin's son went to,he was out in a Scottish rally 3 weeks ago and finished 2nd,also run George Robinson Subaru P2000, if you look at the pic of L10 you can see another escort, that was Stephen Murphys car if now belongs to a mate Tommy Graham who now uses it for rallycross,he won at Mondello park there a few weeks ago, he bought it of Glenn Allen,we converted it last year, Tommy use to own L10, the black escort of Bolands was here for 3/4 years i think it was R12 FMC, George Robinson used it up to last year and then he went to the P2000, i think a guy in Galway has it now, also would have John Mc Glaughlins Evo 9 here, he finished 6th in Galway a couple of weeks ago, but you have w'ends when they all breakdown or they slide off!lol

 

R1 FMC looks awesome what was its original colour scheme??

 

Not sure Paul, was wondering did Karl have any old pic's

 

EDIT: I just asked Fraser (Prometheus) and he told me it thinks it was a Boreham build Repsol

 

Paul,

i think R1 FMC would have been blue an white orignally



Steve Winter had the car for a while, sold it to Neil Dougan











One of my favorite escorts ever......

Ian

 

So it was converted to RHD at some stage?

 

Yep, we converted it when we got it.

 

I would guess the guys at Dom McNeils converted it for Neil Dougan, its an easier conversion on an esc WRC with Xtrac transmission as the front diffs are slightly smaller than an FFD.

Elfranco, how much is the car to buy today?

 

You know what I think this is R1FMC



I've got the bloody model no wonder I reconised the plate

 

Could confirm tonight, as I have them all in the rally annual....but you're probably right....lol....I dont know who is sadder about these cars, you me or Karl....lol

 

Hi Ian, around 55k is what Dom's looking for it, there a guy coming today to look at it, late night last night getting it ready!lol same old story, last minute rush!lol

Paul, so its a repsol, always liked that colour!

 

That looks like P9 FMC on the plate? Stian's old car (Blue Norwegian WRC)

EDIT: Zoomed in and I think it's P8 FMC is it not?

 

Good price for such a lovely car, wish I could afford to have 2....mine has a lot of ideas from that motor....

Elfranco, did you hear Mr Dougans not too well....saw him at the autosport show recently, but heard today he is poorly.....

 

I've just popped home and yes It was the Repsol WRC as per that model!!!






You offically own my most favorite escort cosworth ever.. EVER!

Hmm so if I sell my M3 and Monte and my left kidney I might just have enough

 

Do you know whats sad, I recognised the wiring, Definetly M-sport wiring (may evene be one of mine). Boreham didn't run the GEMS dash. But the car was definetly once in Repsol colours, which would make it originally a Boreham build. We must have up specced the electronics for 98 season when it was in Valvoline colours.

 

Fraser,

Its right on the cusp of Boreham's closure and Msport taking over, did boreham build it, then Msport had it, and is it not the car Kankkunen drove?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=adeg-E...eature=related

 

I have a model of Kankkunen's WRC and that was R4 FMC

 

I think Brian Bell may have owned it after m-sport, or it may have been R3FMC. I'll do some homework tonight too.

 

Fraser,

I think your right pal, R3 FMC was the car Brian had burn out on him IIRC, the first Esc WRC he owned, then he bought R1, sold it to Steve Winter when he bought the focus.....

Just dug out an entry list for the Riponian in 2000 and Brian is listed as running R1 FMC

 

Brians car that burnt out (turbo fire not electrical) was rebuilt at Dom Buckleys in 99. I definetly made a full new loom for that car!

 

Ian, just heard Neil took a stroke, he's only 43! We were working on his car tonight, getting it ready for a round of the scottish championship after easter, he wont be out now i would think! Hope he comes round ok,

Also R1 was sold tonight, Conor Cavanagh from Cork bought it.

 

i'm almost certain Frank Meaghers was Kannkunens old car and was white and blue,
he had a model of the car but Frank had the real thing aswell now thats Motorsport,
also seeing as you know Tommy here you go


another of Boland

Golden Boy Stephen Murphy

i knew Neale and Colin were mates from years back,thats sad about the kids and
the colour of the car,but great at the same time.
here is Neale Dougan

 

55 big ones if you can afford it is well below what it would cost to build a new car to
M-SPORT factory specification, and if it was repsol'd back up i think its possibly a
investment,out of interest Elfranco what did L30MWM go for???
if it was mine it would be Michelin Pilot'ed up pronto!!!!

 

good to see a car with such history come to cork.hope connor does the job with it.
have to say i was at the monte when delacor won in 94 in the escort.have some nice pics and robbed an official poster.hanging on the wall here next to me....

rob v

 

Cool pics
You Irish boys have too much moneybut love your toys

 

Hi Karl L10 went for around 25k, it can go back to its original colours anytime when its near the end of its rallying life, il just have to keep an eye on it, i would like to see it back that way because to me its part of rallying history.

 

ELFRANCO do you have any more pics of Esc Cos rally cars you could add to my forum:- http://escortrscosworth.montewheels....forum.php?f=15
