I'm pretty sure that belongs to a guy that came to look at my Cosworth race car I had for sale as he said he either owned the Brooklyn car or his mate did, Stuart something owns a tuning shop down your way, can't even remember what that was called now awesome car though, love the rs500 touring cars.

To be honest I lost track of what he had and didn't have lol but yes I remember him telling me about the escort now. He said he had recently taken Martin johnsons wurth car back to him after mapping it???

That's at Andy Robinson's no idea if fuller has anything to do with it. Someone showed me a picture of a 3rd race car at stu's but I'm sure it was white

The one in the first pic does look like the original car, was owned by Craig Davies who bought it off Oakfields, no idea if its still his.

If it's at Fuller's yard he's probably conned some poor sap out of it telling him its worth nothing and is only fit for scrap!!
Probably swapped him a shitty set of 2nd hand 'reconditioned' injectors for it!!
