http://www.rallyphotographer.com/?q=showevent&event=326

the escort cosworth is the very first group a rally car built by ford motorsport boreham and it won the very first rally for ford motor co it contested. i saw the car at boreham in 91 when it was unveiled to the public there,the rs200 is one hell of a car and the mark one is even signed by the old man who drove it.

awesome collection he has
600 miles He went from Northern Ireland to Denmark with a trailer to fetch it

I love mk2 escorts but if I had that garage and his bank balance I think i'd fill it with other toys.

The RS 200 makes me feel all funny I had the pleasure of getting to sit in one last year - God its small inside!!

A guy did 00 in his RS200 for the WRC last month too
