Anyone on here supplying the Sierra Cosworth for the forthcoming "5th Gear" shootout with a Mercedes 190E 2.5-16? Supposed to be coming up in the future and a guy off the 190 forums has been asked to use his 2.5-16

I think Plato is going to be driving them

 

If it's the feature already shot then the Bonkers moonstone 3dr cossie was used. Very low miles too. 11k maybe?

 

Rod?

 

Bonkers 3-door? Is there some more info on it?
Interesting they didn't pick a 4-door seeing as that's the configuration of the Merc

 

Could be a different feature mate. Let me get the link...

thank god they put it on 1st,i fooking hate 5th gear

 

well that was utter shit the cossie looked sweet, but.. well..

 

I came in at 5 past, have I missed everything?

 

Same as all the shoot outs. What were you expecting the whole episode dedicated to it lol

But I wouldnt have dragged my car there for that

 

Well atleast the ford one

 

They look so slow in std form

 

I think Mark was a real gent for letting em use it tbh. Glad they acknowledged that!

Been nicking bits off that 3dr all week - Keith (in pic) and i are trying to sort his 500 and its conveniently to hand to swop bits over. You should see the gleam on the paint - Keith is a wizard!!! I think it looked the biz myself

 

It did look very nice - no surprise it won really - same result as 20 years ago in the road tests

 

Here you go Rob - there's a link here if you missed it
