forget about the Collins cars dave

The race escos is owned by Rod Birley after is up and down life in ford saloons (in its first season the car was excluded at some events due to bending the rules to the limit)
and Sue still owns the RS200 and maybe a RS500 or 2 i think
not sure about the other cars they built ?

Does Mark Baines still have is thunder saloon Saph ?

Dave Perry from DP motorsport has he still got his coss powered Mk1 escort ?

What happened to the Dimma Cosworths which originally included
2 205's and a convertible 205, 1 road and 1 race 309, 2 clios, 106, 306 and I think Terry Pankhurst has still got his 206 But sold his EX Ford Mk1 RS1600 press car that ran a BDG,
