This is Special Vehicle Engineering - the team that designed the fastest Fords. Can you guess what was the secret car they are hiding there on the right? Rod Mansfield wrote a fascinating insight in my book where he tells us what it was like to do Capri, Cosworth and XRs, you can read more here.

As said before Halcyon Days.
I am going to guess at an Escort Cosworth mule based on the MK4 Escort bodyshell that Stuart Turner wanted for rallying?

Nope - Stuart was a little reluctant on Escort Cosworth. But it IS an Escort...

From listening to him he was reluctant on most things, which I'm not surprisedI thought it was his idea to graft the Escort MK4 onto the Sierra platform knowing that if it fitted then the MK5 Escort body would also fit?
Is it an Amythist Escort Cabriolet?
