From fiesta turbo site:

And Max Power..... I actually bought this from issue one, which i believe was a purple Dimma kitted 205 GTi turbo. MP also brought the first magazine featured creation from Clive Anderson (not that one!) of Prism Motorsport, a complete ridiculous mark 4 Cortina with an equally insane wide body created from sheets of all and lumps of ply, all wrapped together with a home made twin turbo V6, and rear wheels measuring 16"x15". Yes that is 16 inches wide.

What power is this? I think I remember Clive saying it was around 400BHP. If so, seems like a lot of effort for only 400BHP??

Actually, come to think of it, it was before he put the turbos on. It was just a 3.5 V8.

This may or may not be true but it came from a close freind of Clives, but when Clive was at college he came out and got into his cortina which was 2.8 but otherwise standard, well trying to impress the girls and boys he decided to do a burnout, all went well untill he came off the brakes and then bounced off three parked cars

fantastic car barring he used the utterly wank rover v8 as a base so spent about a million times more than if he wouldve went for similar power with a decent ford/chevy v8

The yellow one looks to have new style comp MO's in the pic so must be fairly recent.
