Default Hello from the Colin McRae Vision

We thought we would join your wonderful site to let you guys know of what the charity has been up to and will be doing in the future.

Our aim is to help underprivileged children throughout the globe by fundraising at various events around the UK and Europe

For you Ford guys we have a couple of rather special Blue Oval gems that are fully operational like the Millington powered Mk2 and the Grp A 3 Door that Colin, Jimmy and Alistair all competed in. The Cossie has recently had a ground up restoration and the Mk2 is as pristine as they come and goes as well as she looks

Our next outing is at the Rally Show at Cornbury on the 14th and 15th of May. Jimmy McRae will be in attendance driving the Grp A 3 Door Cosworth and the 92 Grp A Legacy, both of which have recently underwent a ground up restoration.

The good news is the passenger seats for these demonstration runs are available to the highest bidder, with all proceeds going towards the Colin McRae Vision charity. Details on how to bid for this once in a lifetime oppertunity to sit beside the 5 times British Champion Jimmy McRae can be found on www.colinmcrae.com.

Thank you for your time

Vision team

The good news Glenn is that the Mk2 will be coming out to play at some point in the future. Soon as i know i will post up the info of what event she will be running at as soon as possible.

Colin regarded the Millington powered Mk2 as his favourite "toy" and spent as much as possible to make her one of the best out there. On an event in Ireland in 2005 the old Escort was setting times not far from the WRC machinary that was in the same event. Special car and special driver equals special fun

Thanks

Its great raising money for charity by way of the old rally cars.
most people who saw Colin Jimmy and Alistair in the Cosworths in the good old days would love to see the cars again and have a ride would be spectacular and a great way of raising money.
Anyway i remember the Prodrive Legacy RS's on the BRC and the Cosworths and well everything really,and i also have special memories of G289DAR and that was Colins 4dr RED Sierra Cosworth and as Big Mc would of said "For Sure"

Another good idea, reminds me of the McRae Gathering organised by SIDC.

All the best with it.


Cheers,
Grant
