Was driving back from my sisters place only to spot something unusual in a showroom window.

On closer inspection, it turned out that this was the real thing. Don't know if many of you guys like Fords or not...lol

I didn't even dare to ask! I hate to think what sort of deposit I'd need to put down even if they took me seriously. I once naively tried to test drive an NSX at my local Honda garage, turned up in my best suit after work in my 7 series - they saw straight through it and told me I'd have to pay a 3% deposit just to test drive at ?750....lol

I loved the made to order bit, As I recall, there were 200 of them thrown together at the Reliant works at Two Gates in Tamworth, yup the home of the three wheeler, just to get them Homologated for group B rallying, & they then tried to sell them. The car was a classic parts bin special, the front doors are shortened sierra ones, the original engines were based on the old mk2 escort cosworth bda with a turbo.

But I also remember the film of the circuit of Ireland rally when this little kid ran out & got hit by Kalle Grundel doing about 120mph & flung about 20yds into a field. He got up & only had a broken arm. The driver was so shaken that he retired from rallying.

Uses a Sierra windscreen and a XR2 dash too!
