Tony Mowbray (ex Middlesbrough player) had a 4x4 saph about 11/12 yrs ago - I almost bought it from a local dealer but it had some damage to rear quater that put me off. (apparantly caused from his golf clubs being in the boot!?!)

I taught that Micheal Schumacher also had an Escort Cosworth in his garage

(when he drove the Beneton Cosworth in 1994 he bought an Escort Cosworth and a Scorpio (Granada) Cosworth )

Btw. Jos Verstappen also had an Escort Cosworth (grey one) but he sold the car
