Does anyone have any pics of this legend?

It was dark dark green from memory, and around in the late 80's.

Does it still exist?

Thanks

Weeksy

 

Im sure it still exists but is now in a foreign country somewhere.A few years back there was a write up on it in fast ford,i may be wrong but possibly an arab has it???

 

I think you might be right Lee, that does kind of ring a bell.

That article in Fast Lane mag was 88 or 89 originally wasn't it?

 

Is that the one that they done the video with it against steve burns monster bike ( turbo gsxr ) fucking good vid some good power slides from both bike and car

 

Heres a statement from their current Website .

We have also seen the highest top speed ever recorded by a Cosworth. Our "Mogul 400" reached 186mph around Hockenheim!! At that speed, the air pressure on the car was so great it began to force the doors open!

Love the last line

The missus knows one of the owners via work. It exists in the Far East.

 

it was in a fast ford with a red cossie powered rwd gartrac escort on the front if i remember correctly, the article was from BBR and it showed the engine being stripped checked and rebuilt

 

I guess on that front Rod you can speak from expeience eh?! Are the doors really forced open at 186?!

Does anyone have that article thaey can scan up, or the original in Fast lane?! What wheels did it run? Black centred weren't they?

THanks

Weeksy

 

Very funny statement! Did it have plastic doors then??

 

Haha, I did wonder!!

Makes me wish I took my car to them to be tweaked!

 

about six months after i passed my mot course which will have been around 1999/2000 a car trader brought a cossie in for mot and according to all the paper work with it , it was the mogul 400, in green but was very very tired very shabby and had no goodies on it what so ever if it still exist i'd like to see it to see if it was the same on but im sure it was as the trader wouldnt shut up about it and didnt appreciate me telling him that there wasnt anything on the car that it said it had on it in the paper work

 

what the hell is it ?

 

David Brodie told me he blew a tyre in the fast lane at warp speed in the Mogul and the car was then reshelled, refurbished and shipped out to a Malaysian Prince. There was a photo in one of the mags with him holding up the shattered wheel, this was around 1998 and I think it happened a year or so before.

 

my doors used to open at eh high speed too......

you not get that rod?

 

Fast Lane article on the Mogul was April 1990

Also an article on it ( and other tuned Sierras ) in Autocar August 1990

 

Wicked fellas,

Has anyone old enough to be buying those mags got them to scan in?

 

if i remember correctley from the article he brought frank williams out for a spin in it on the autobahn as he said he wanted to know what all the hype was about with these cossies ,and frank got very afraid at about 180mph

 

come on Rodney man,that website has not been updated since Ryan Giggs was a apprentice

that car your on about richard was lime green and the one mentiond regarding the King of Malaysia was a dark green one. I remember the lime green mogul 400 it was passed around every sub standard performance car dealer in the north west automart around when you say and ended up in dealers in st helens the last time i saw it.
i heard that it got painted a proper color as that lime green was so late 80's early 90's

 

This was in Max Power years back.








Sorry about the crap scans.

 

I remember the Mogul being dark green and have gold wheel rims

Steve

 

I knew nothing about thid one, but that upswept twin tail pipe rings bells.

I think you might be right about the rims Cossie 4i, and defo dark green, Like the Lotus Carlton imperial green??

 

Im sure the wheels looked like a bigger version of minilites with dark spokes and a gold rim ?????

Steve

 

I could scan them in tomorrow ( the loft ladder is under my son's bed and i'm not going to wake him! ) - mags are in loft.

I do remember the interior colour was described as "Bullfrog Green" and it hit 100 in a timed 10.4 seconds ( which a lot of 360bhp+ can get close to or surpass )

 

Best pic i can find with a quick search



Steve

 

There she is!!

 

i had a mag with a right up of that and 2 other bbr cars in the one article.

sure one of the cars was writen off on the way back from the shoot..

i gave all my ford mags away years ago tho so no pics mate.


the bbr cars had a twin pipe backboxes didn't they??

 

The lime green one is defo the one I mot'd and it was a an utter turd!!!

 

Digging into the archieves here! was a good spec car back in the day and some impressive performance figures.when it was featured in fast lane they also timed a 400hp rs500 with nitrous on top and listed a set of figures for the both cars and the current fastest production car,the lambourghini countach,the mogul was very close and the 500 was faster at some stages!
The video against the bike is good too,iv still got that!

 

The 'Giggle Gas' Sierra as they termed it

0-100 in about 10.1

 

Yeah thats the one. 'now 500'. iv always wondered what happened to it and if its still around.Must have been one of the first highly modded 500's.

 

Got my copy out the loft - it had a free tape that month for some supercar noises



I'll scan it in now

 

the dark green one was featured in max power too back in the good old days and car and car conversions,it was tested in triple c along with a certain famous stoke on trent cosworth tuner who later suffered a costly matrimonial fiasco

It's in malaysia.

 

Bloody hell! A blast from the past, good to see it still lives.

 

Looks well chap

 

nice to see it still lives on, noticed its got aircon, is that an aftermarket system using the factory switch?
