When was this car first featured in a mag? And any pics?

I remember reading a feature on this (may be not) many years ago when I was into Max Power and Red Line.

I do remember a free dvd with a mag and on it was Martin trying to break the tow a caravan top speed record or something. Think a window went through on the caravan and they had to remove the stabiliser?That was the escort like.

Whilst the mag staff were fucking about in Corsa's and similar on it fucking about at Brunters.
