STUTTGART, GERMANY--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 23, 2004 -- Effective January 1, 2005, Cosworth Technology Ltd. will become a member of the MAHLE Group headquartered in Stuttgart.

From this thread: https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=91969


Cosworth became two units in 1998. Subsequently and prior to that, Ford had the exclusive rights to the Cosworth badge for vehicles (hence no Cosworth badge on the Merc or GTE 16V). I don't know if Ford have maintained that deal now that they've sold off their remaining interest in Cosworth Racing.

Cosworth Technology Ltd. and its subsidiary Cosworth Technology, Inc. have been 100% investments of AUDI AG since 1998, they do the coscast process, and the part of Cosworth that delivered the YB range of engines for Ford, Aston Martin engines, and castings for Merc', Vauxhall, the design and build of the engine for the Focus ST170 etc..

Cosworth Racing is the WRC/F1 engine supply/assembly business and was recently (November) sold by Ford to Kevin Kalkhoven (and business partner), of the Champ Car organisation.
Doesn't help you Lee, lol - sorry. But, I'd go woth giving Cosworth a call direct, assuming you know exactly what you require.
