Default Escort WRC (white) in MACCLESFIELD?????

Anyone know who owns a WRC kitted white Escort Cossie in the Macc area? Saw it hammering through the Bollington village last night. Looked tidy

I ask because I've only seen like 2 cossie's of any kind in 6 months of living there

Not sure, it was on a blind corner when it came flying round in the dark. Pretty loud, but judging when he floored it, didn't seem more than a stage 3. Still pretty cool though.

The White Escos is my m8 john's which is an early group A rally car with WRC wings & rear spoiler running full 2wd sapp cos running gear (rear drive) running about 330-350bhp quaife diff (standard 1 blew after 10mins after getting it home)
Mine is the G66 2wd Magenta sapp on my profile & and i,ve got a white 4x4 sapp H7

The Mallard Escos is my m8 james from macc that i am fully restoring as we speak who has also got another toy

The crystal blue sapp is lad who works in adlington

Where abouts is the white Escort, wouldn't mind having a good look over it and a silly question, but is it road legal?

Does he have room in his garage to keep mine?

Fair enough but dan said it was reshelled into a non cozzy shell it was a 2wd in a 4x4 shell.......

Was a nice car anyway how much did he get for it and who bought it?

My Auntie's got an L reg saph but you've got more chance of finding rocking horse shit than seeing it on the road. It did 200 miles between its last mot's. There's a couple who live a few miles from me who own a pair of cossies. she's got a white saph with rondells . and he's got an escos but thats not been on the road for years. another lad has a mallard green escos with supper t's he's owned it at least 15 years
