How awesomely old skool cool is that!
I remember when 'Turbosystems Motorsport' stickers were on every modified Ford in my county, I used to sell the stickers before i'd put them on the shelf!
Anyone got any pics of any similar cars from the same age?

As promised, a few from the archives! Sorry if they're on the large side- can't re-size them for some reason...
Front cover of Top Car magazine-March 1991. Feature on Jason Taylor's 4x4 with 320BHP (which I think was the first Turbo Systems Sapphire to have the stripes) and F210 KEV with 440BHP.
F210 KEV and Snowstorm together at Donnington. You can just see a model replica sitting on the dash I made when I was 15!
F210 KEV side view
F210 KEV with new wheels and white/blue leather retrim
I've got more pictures somewhere. Also got a few of the other striped Turbosystems cars- the Escos, Series 2 Escort Turbo and Fiesta Turbo but they're probably better on another thread- keep this one for the Sapphires!
I've recently found these pics during a house move and now really want to get a Sapphire- with the idea to maybe build a replica of one of these. I know Desert Storm is now dead- are the others still around?
Tony...correct me if any of the info is wrong, it was 15 years ago!

Desert Storm was Tony's and Snow Storm was a customer's and the 4wd with blue wheels (which didn't have a name!!) was also a customer's- Jason Taylor.
I think.....

Moonstone Mart: Thanks for posting those over here! Here's Desert Storm with the TNY plate on..
Turbocabbie: Agreed, Snow Storm was a great car then, but I do remember someone getting a bit carried away with the graphics...would like to see it now..
CoupeUK: Most of the cars had "Graphics by Baynton" on them, not sure where or who these are- Tony @ Turbo Systems can probably answer.
Cosmo V6: There's your Bartsport sticker!!!
Glad the pics have brought back some memories..they certainly have for me- so much so I'm thinking of getting a Sapphire next year! I'll see what else I can find as I keep unpacking the house boxes

She's sitting in my garage, ever since I bought her off Kevin Gribble.
