Default sierra cosworth at '86 british GP

was watching a dvd i have of the 1986 f1 season, and jaques laffite had a shunt which broke his legs on the first lap:eek




i apologize for the poor quality, but i paused the dvd, which was originally vhs and is old now lol and took the pic.






and a sierra cossie C reg pulled up, obviously a safety/medical car at the time. Nice to see one in action back in the day when they were new... even if it was for a few seconds, and it was made famous

wonder where that particular cossie is now?

There were 7 C reg plates cossys which were used as demos/press/rally series cars - i think they went C235 to C 242 HJW or summat like that - good spot.

yeah i should have look closer at the plate. I will check the rest of the dvd see if any more pop up

in the 1994 german grand prix there is escoc lurking in the pits.

I also have pic of an escort cossie medical car following the first lap round at the british gp 1993!

C235 HVW was a White 3dr Pace car

My Series 1 was supposedly used by the Datapost touring car team as a promo car, C255 HVW....
