I'd say that sierra with the cage has been used on road rallies, looking at the cage and nav footrest. Were popular cars for them before the MSA banned cars with more engines than 4 cylinders

Looking at the bumper and the door strips i would say its a 4x4. I could be wrong but it looks like it has the late spec back lights in.

Wasteful Bastards!!! South Africans only get to drool over most of these when we pick up our copies of Passion Ford, Fast Ford & Retro Ford!! Damn disgusting i'd say!!! We've never been given the opportunity to see any Cosworth or RS until the Focus RS mk2 came out. Now to see Cossie's & RS' & Convertible Fords & 2 door Fords from the era we were robbed of because of apartheid sanctions......turns me stomach inside out!!! FBOC

At least you got cool stuff like 3.0 cortina and 3.0 sierras from the factory thats without mentioning cool as feck xr8's and the basil green converted perana Granada and capri so it's not all bad

Mrs steppy is from sa and when we were discussing the future and maybe moving out there in the conversation my 3 door and her s2 rst would definately be coming along for the ride

I don't know. One of my neighbours leaves is Ł150,000 Aston Martin out in the weather, but keeps his Ł50 worth of garden shite and assorted sods in the garage. People do the daftest things.

I had a "barn find" Capri 1.6 laser years ago. Sadly we never got it running, the chassis had completely rotted through :/ Had some nice old skool alloys on it though and a K&N that was like brand new. Shame these just get left, there are some real gems here.

Anyone know the whereabouts of C475MWF??? Series One Turbo non-Custom I owned many moons ago, no record of it on car check sites but does show up on the .gov MOT site as a white 1986 Ford Escort, but no test history, would be interested in tracking it down if its not been scrapped lol

that's what I said Ran, but he said they were knackered, one was snapped in half, one had a mahoosive flat spot, one was all beaten up about 50 yards from the car and the 4th one just wasn't there. Let it rust in peace....
