nd the one you want

 

red and white marlborough for me.

 

thanks paul i will look into it that, carltex one above is alot easier than your style to replicate ......

your right tho i quite like the damon hill car

 

i like this

 

where some good rally colour schemes to !! Works ford, RED, Andrews, Tompkins paints

 

The white listerine cars were my favorite of all time if i ever think of the 500 touring car thats what comes to mind everytime ! wonder what martin johnstome ever did with his do you know paul it was near completion last time i seen pics of it. If i ever won the lottery i want one in my showroom

 

HGot to be one of these two for me, Mark.

 

I love these race cars, Allways went to BTCC races in those days

 

or

 

Any road going 500 bhp sierra dressed up in these colours is going to be a dig by the cops FACT you wont be able to have a burst without being spotted.

 

Carlo, Martin sold it to a fella in Australia and it was then repainted again into the Damon Hill / Moss scheme that it had run in its previous life, thats the actual car in its new scheme on page 1 racing in Aus historics these days

 

Cool paul has martin sold up now?

 

yep his are all sold now, most have gone down under - the labatts thundersaloon is being converted back to its original group a Lawrence Bristow spec by the new owner

 

Shame ! they seem to be really into them down under

 

The aussies have set up a historic race series for them and with a strong dollar they snapped them up, doubt they will come back home any time soon.

There has been talk of a similar series over here but nothings happened yet. A few owners are champing at the bit for it to start.

One of the aussies who owns a couple of them said to me that they will ship theres over for the races if it happens

Loads to choose from on this site.

 

Is there a website with current pics of the cars that are in Australia?

 

My mate has done the ICS sierra. I'll see if i can find some pics later.

 

not a specific one that I am aware of, pics tend to crop up on threads on various forums

 

I saved quite a few of them over the years. Got a bit more the 1300 different photo's of RS500, old and new. But always looking for more. Maybe there is something like an Australian website with plenty of pics?

 

yup!! go with the listerine one matey....lush

 

im liking this one a lot

what wheels are these ?

 

They are Ronals, and were used by quite a few of the german 500s, the pic is of the cars before they were converted into 500s

 

cheers paul,i was wondering why the bumper and reaqr spoiler was standard .
who converted these to 500,s paul ,was it the team or tickford?

 

well im thinking it needs to be painted white then go from there realy....

but im going to have to leave the engine bay till last....

although PAUL have you got more pics of the carltex one thats all red with the white strip...???

 

also how would i get hold of some centre lock wheels or would that be impossible

 

The teams would have bought a kit of parts when the cars were homologated on 1st August 87 either from Ford Cologne or Boreham and retro fitted this to the 3dr group A race cars to bring them up to 500 spec body wise and mechanically, in the case of the Barclay cars they were built by Wolf in Germany so I imagine they would have done the upgrade.

With regard buying centre locks there is a thread in the wanted section at the moment that might help

 

cheers mate otherwise it would just have to be comp cxn's

 

The last two used sets have sold for 3k each with adapters and a new set is over 4k from BBS then you need the adapters on top so that another Ł800 so I guess it depends what your budget is, they very rarely come up for sale, once every couple of years at best.

The billet repro ones should be cheaper though on the other thread.

 

its alot realy .... well i think i will go for cxn's and then spend the money else where like brakes and suspension

 

paul have you got any close ups on this one or somewhere i could buy the model or pics please....

looks stunning i also like the one where ite red at the top.... ???

 

This is the only picc i have of the Caltex in that scheme

the Caltex cars changed quite a few times over the years

 

Its Moonstone

You don't screw with Moonstone

I have a few pics of this livery:
