Pacifica Blue is in my top three best Escos colours along with White and Ash Black.
I wasn't actually looking for a mallard Green when I bought my Monte but the Mallard has grown on me loads! It seems to look purple in some lights, blue and green in other light and black at night.. it actually impressed me more than I thought it would

i have a moondust silver one, was a small turbo but had a conversion on DTA managment, unfortunatley i got a bit stiched up with it, it had just had a head gasket before i got it, it started smoking on the way home from buying it which turned out to be some fooked pistons and rings. now waiting for the legal procedings to claim some money back on it got a picture of it with the engine out and the splitter missing because 'someone' caught it and ripped it off. i have a couple more pics some where from when i first got it, i will find them later.

Another question then peeps, all the Motorsport cars i.e Ones that are used for rallying and circuit racing etc, were they included in the original build numbers from Ford or were they included on top of the figure's produced for road going cars?

Hope that makes sense! lol

That doesn't quite add up to me, i'm bloody sure there was over 8000 made, yet that little lot only adds up to 7145?

Perhaps this didn't include motorsport versions

I don't think that those numbers are correct there.

I got the number of 8082 cars built by Karmann in Osnabruck, Germany
