RUDIT was always my personal favourite, from memory it too had a Gp1 engine.
BCG was last owned in the UK by a friend of mine Craig Garrington, Craig concoursed the car between c1998 and 2000, I think he won ND twice, his main competition was Ricky Ross's CSL....V.
I actually went with Craig to view BCG in c.1997, he bought it from the main Ford dealer in Guildford (Gray's of Guildford) they'd bought it off John MacClughlin several years previous, and just kept it as a display item in the showroom with a sticker in the window stating 'not for sale'. Craig made them a cheeky offer and they accepted it. They even trailored the car to Craig's house some 150 miles away. Craig sold BCG to a guy in Ireland around 2002 - I've never heard of it since.
I've often wondered how much cars like these are truly worth. For instance, I have a friend in Norfolk who bought a last of the line MK11 RS2000 Custom brand new and has only done 3000 miles in it since then - MoT'd every year and kept in a secure (secret) lock up with his other collection. I lnow he's been offered £££££'s and won't sell....
