[POO505R]

4500 miler she was

Had paint though from standard, which i believe alot of them did, as when Ford decided to sell them off, they had been knocking around the factory for bit and then got stripped apart and put back together, as most of them got thrown together to complete the 200 so they could go rally and then had to put together properly to sell them.
She had 4500 miles on her.
they used a 250bhp to get through new car regs. then converted most them to 300 bhp via injectors and exhaust swop, the car was sold by Ford in Blackpool , Thomas motors i think? having a blank now on the name as they used to sponser people in rallying as well.

Got a load of Factory photos of the cars being built I can put on if anyone is interested ??

I think this car was originally sold Peter Clarke of Yorks around January 1987.
December 2006 - Thanks to people who emailed me the following information, Pete, you were first as usual ! LOL..
#108 has surfaced, not that I have seen it in the flesh to verify it but, if you believe everything you read it is for sale in Autotrader for £100,000. If the link is dead I have saved the page here for you. It says....

I am delighted to be able to offer for sale this very special Group B rally car, number 108 of only 200 ever produced.
