WOW...................

That`s a fairly well specced Cosworth I`d say

We seem to have a few of those over here in Norway at the moment.

Has someone of you other Norwegian users of this BB seen this car run, or has it not done any track days etc. yet???

Apparently it`s supposed to have it`s track day debut on 21-23 of May at Vålerbanen in Norway...

(Just noticed that Wing Dude had posted that info on the swedish site that was linked to in another post about this Cossie...

I also have to admit, that some of the pictures does not have the correct color of different parts, due to bad lighting in the show-room, especially some of the pictures from the engine-room.

Yes, I believe the car will be seen on the regular Ford-meeting at Rudskogen in the beginning of August, hope you can get Julian to bring both his cars, the RS200 and the 500
