looks much better with the skirt.

i never understand when people who are younger than the car want to drool over somthing like this and spoil it by taking somthing off thats been there longer than than they have been around.

i used to see a moonstone rs500 at rs shows in the early 90's with the plate 500 rs.
thats a good plate that is,also remember seeing rs500 on a car but it wasn't a ford and i can't remember what the fuck it was as it was so long ago.




remember when you start on about Wolf RS500's Walter Wolf raced RS500's for Ford Motor Company lol

He tried selling the car 2 years ago and messed people about then

i did work fpr one of the biggest car dealers in the north west and the bloke who owned it used to tell me to fook people off if they were arseholes or gay lol

funny that cos the bloke who saw it and already owned a rare Wolf Escort Cosworth said the car had paperwork from Ford-Wolf and registration papers saying it was and Wolf was a official Ford rs500 preparation team and supplier of Wolf-Ford kits and still are to this day.
either way who cares its only a fooking spoiler

i spent nearly 4 years after a new Ford-Wolf genuine Cosworth spoiler

walter wolf racing was a german ford main dealer and preparation expert who prepared rs500's that competed in the dtm and many other championships,they also sold high performance official ford cosworth tuning parts and body kits like spoilers and stuff all covered by a Ford Germany warrenty.

my car has genuine ford wolf parts fitted to it,wolf also prepared race and rally escort cosworths too.

if you look at the post from the german bloke going on about the dtm revival i posted a video from germany showing a Wolf rs500 winning the 1988 dtm team championship.

cheeRS.

edit........ pic of a wolf rs500

Get rid of the rear skirt.

Copied from his Ebay listing "THERE IS A GENUINE FORD UNDER THE REAR VALANCE EXTRA SKIRT FITTED (I have never seen another rs with this item)..."
I wonder why? Could it be that most other people think they look naff?

I think James Hunt had similar thoughts, his Wolf was so dire he walked away from it mid season and retired.

I believe good old Walter is still on the run from the authorities over fraud charges.

and you would be 100% wrong thinking that one was anything to do with sierras

theres the walter wolf that did formula 1.

and then theres the german ford tuner walter wolf who sold official ford tuning stuff and raced in the dtm,etcc,dtt etc etc with drivers like frank biela klaus ludwig armin hahne manuel reuter etc etc.

you would not be laughing if you saw how much genuine wolf cosworth stuff did in europe where the european cosworth lover appreciates the finer things in cosworths lol.


2 walter wolfs not 1

since when have halfords sold genuine ford cosworth stuff
