Any chance of a good quality scan of it? I've got a scan of an old mag feature, but it isn't really readable

the 250-r was a roue sport sierra but not cosworth

powered by a 2.0 dohc 8v which was turbocharged

had different kit as usual, different wheels

it also had the wing backed seats like the rous sport cosworths, except these were made by cobra i think, i have a set of rouse sport 250-r front seats in my attic, the colour i will never match with any of the trim in a sierra that was made

6.1 and 6.9 arent exactly a world apart.

That autocar test was probably a stopwatch and the speedo back then, lol
