SIERRA COSWORTH RS500 build #172

So he tells me it was an andy rouse car back in the day, it came with 8 spoke rs wheels, which he still owns with the original D4 tyres. Also the trim was in a light grey leather done by TICKFORD which apparently only 2 cars were blessed with this. Can anyone shed any light? Lovely car, thought this is definately worth sharing.......



If you can make it out the actual mileage is 20459!!!! GENUINE!!!!



Heres the plate if anyone wants to do a search.....


Tucked away for over 15 years, last taxed in 1992, this car is due to be put back on the road anyday soon.................

Cheers
P.M.S.L.
Build no 172 should be BLACK in tickford 3rd july 1987 out 15th july 1987
Engine no should be YBD 03--( FACT'S)

well malcolm is a lucky man, years ago he had one for sale
at one of his garages( he used to own a few main dealers aswell as
prepare rally cars) and it was white.
he also used to be sponsored by CG GARAGES Carlisle on his rally
cars, i am going back YEARS though

also the fella from warrington who got banged up for doing a Vic Lee
brings back memories, he raced fiesta XR2's
but had proper money for rs200's etc
then he got banged up for flying snow white in to the country and
chucking it out of the plane somewhere quiet,and then collecting it later
