Exclamation Wellknown people (popstars, race/rally drivers) with Cosworth's

Hey people,

I've started this topic on PF a couple of years ago. But I can't find it anymore.

I was wondering if anyone knows some very well-known people who have (or had) Cosworth's. :rally:

I think it's nice to see a complete list with name and picture

I'll start:


- Michael Schumacher - F1 driver - ( Red Escort Cosworth Lux T35 )=> still has it in his collection

This is a picture from a Minichamps 1:43 model, but he has the same car for him self (don't have any pic's )



- Jos Verstappen - F1 driver - (Grey Escort Cosworth Lux T35) => Car is sold, don't know who has it now. I'm still looking for pic's, and asked some people as he lives about 25min from my house, but don't know where...

- Malcolm Wilson - Ford Engineer / Team Manager / Ex rallydriver - unknown, but has a couple of cosworth's

One of his (old) rally car's



- Jeremy Clarkson (Green Escort Cosworth Lux T35 and as I'm right he also had a Pacific Blue T35 ) => both sold , who's the lucky owner?

The green one:




- Nick Mason (one of the guys from Pink Floyd) had a Escort Cosworth, don't know any details

- Maxi Jazz (from Faithless) has a Saphire Cosworth in Grey (and a MK2 Escort)

- Liam Howlett (from the Prodigy) owned a Escort Cosworth in White

- Henry Cooper (Boxing Champion of the 70's) owned a Sierra RS500

- Lady Diana (Princess of Wales) owned an Escort RS Turbo S1 in Black / Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 2wd in Crystal Blue

- Ryan Riggs (Footballer from Manchester United) owned a Sierra Sapphire in Black

- Archer McClean (Famous computergame programmer) Escort Cosworth and Ford RS200, with plate either UFO1 or 1UFO

- Tim Allen (Film star / Actor (Santa Clause, Toy Story, Wild Hogs etc) Ford RS200

- Johan Cruijff (Dutch Football player FC Barcelona) owned an Escort RS Cosworth

- Lily Allen ( Popartist) owns a Focus RS

- James Wade (professional Darter "The Machine" ) owns a couple of Ford's (unknown what type)

- Kerry Katona (UK Televisionstar/ Ex-Atomic kitten singer) owns a Focus RS MK2




Now it's up to you guys

I'll hope we can make a big list

Tim Allen doesn't deserve his rs200! Seen him on a car show once talkin about his cars and he was goin on about a supercharged chop topped 1950s pick up he's got and was standing next to his ra200 and the guy asked what it was and he said it was an rs100 then looked at the back and said no wait a sec its an rs200, thought to my sel what a cock !

Jeremy Clarksons old Escort Cosworth is owed by a guy called Mark who is member of Surrey RSOC. The car was in very good condition the last time I saw it.
