no it wasn't converted to twin turbo, the main mod I remember it having was the Brooklands 2.2 engine (I think)
Very nice car, the green really suited it

presume you mean brooklyn as in the ford dealer in reddich
can't remember that car but I do remember "the mogul" built by Brodie brittian racing back in the early ninties, went over to cyprus or somewhere like that i'm sure.
also think it came back in the last few years for a rebuild, sure I saw it in a mag a few years ago.

wasn't 'the moghul' done for the sultan of brunei or something?
taken from the bbr website:-
taken from the bbr website:-
We were one of the first companies to develop turbocharger performance upgrades for this great car and when we stopped running the Mitsubishi works saloon car team, progressed to building our own Group A Cosworth Saloon Racers, one of which we campaigned in the RAC championship. Being a fully functional race shop, we designed and manufactured everything for this car, from engines, turbochargers and electronics to chassis, suspension and brakes.
During this period, we developed a stunning range of conversions for both road and track use which have been continuously updated to incorporate new ideas and technology ever since.
These conversions have long formed the standard against which others are compared: there are none as well engineered, reliable and cost effective as ours. All our engine conversions are developed and tested on our in-house Superflow 7100 dyno, which is a one of the world's best for this type of work. Suspensions too are carefully designed and track-tuned. In short, everything works as it is supposed to; no wasted effort, no wasted money.
Our performance figures speak for themselves (All independently obtained on 5th wheel equipment)
0-60mph - 3.2 seconds
0-100mph - 7.2 seconds
0-130mph - 11 seconds
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!
At the time this was the fastest (and most publicised) production four door saloon car in the world - maybe it still is - and it is still in regular, everyday use out there in the Far East.
