afaik phil collins was from hereford but his buisness collins cars was building rally cars from ponty and making seats, he hired them out to anyone who had the money,i know some drivers who hired his cars. there is a reason why i asked if frank meagher owned this car.

in 99 frank meagher died testing a 3dr cosworth, he had the car for sale. both frank and mickey were car dealers from southern ireland and they both had 3dr sierras the 3dr that frank drove had duckhams and lombard sponsorship it was looked after by Smith Auto Developments S-A-D. if you look at the reg on the video i posted of Mickey the car is on southern irish plates starting 90, Franks 1995 irish tarmac championship winning escort was a 1990 southern irish reg too. is the ni reg on the 3dr now a 1990 registered car or a 87?.
both were drivers i loved to watch RIP

I know some southern irish drivers muck about with the plates on the cars because they don't want to pay tax on them,if you got hold of anthony nestor you would get the crack about the sierra. looking again at the video link i posted the car has a fuel cap in the rear qtr panel. the only 3dr's i saw like that were early works cars. franks sierra 3dr was early on a d***svw car then it went onto a 1990 si plate.
i have a really good video with some of the drivers who made the sierra 3dr a force in british rallying,not one has anti lag but the 3dr cos made a noise unique to itself.

front tow eye is the obvious pointer, but also the non abs servo hole in the bulkhead
If you take a look at the door latches on the A pillar they will be the old style single point ones, where as the cosworth shell uses the anti burst latch held on with two screws
No big deal anyway if its a rally car as they are essentially the same shell apart from a few odds and ends
