This car was awesome!! Aggressive styling and huge Zetec turbo power!! :Q

To get it upto the standard it was it going to talk 12k+ why not go your own way and do something original??


Soy mk2!! :lol: I like :devil:

The cage was Les Hicks iirc and the seats were Cobeau Revolution or something similar.

I'm tempted to say "Do it your own way", but it was a really special car IMO. I can't REALLY put my finger on why, but radiant red is a bloody nice colour fresh out of the bodyshop, had awesome wheels, and..well, what can you say about that engine?! Dream ERST no doubt, so I can fully understand you wanting to make it precisely the car it used to be. Was tragic when it was broken, and so soon after its rise to fame :(

As said, go to PF, the history, spec and pics all live there :)

We're going to get the good/evil thing again like Ian H's Type-R. A black one with the originals bumpers, spoilers and wheels (see Fast Ford this month) and a red one with the original shell.

James Bentley was the chap that built the car originally. A bloody nice chap actually, chatted to him loads.

Steve B stripped the car to abare shell for him when he decided it was time to move on. The car was worth a lot more in bits so it went that way :(

Do it your own way mate and build a car for yourself, otherwise you will never receive the credit deserved for building such a car
