Watching it at work with the sound off, but why did Mikkola (my childhood hero, for reference) de-sticker the Quattro when it retired?

How good do the Manta 400s look, and the Escorts just look so right

Is that Dickie Davies? Lots of memories there and plenty of good links also (saved). Thanks for posting

Great vid... Although I prefer this Manx edition. Even if Snijers is a real *rse, he is responsable for at least one great drive! Manx

No doubt so he can drive it back on the roads, as it's illegal to have a number showing - although now they just put a line of black electrical tape through it to show they're not competing.

Can't believe my mate had a this correctness nearly 20 years ago:
His was the spit of this but with gunmetal GT/E alloys, it also had the 2.2 Cam in head Carlton engine with a big twin choke weber and would happily eat the GT/E. Used to drift for fun on wet roundabouts. He chopped it in for a bodykitted Rover 820 auto that ate gearboxes and wasn't really any good. Carl.

Great vid. Driving in the fog that fast - proper commitment  I love the rivalry between Brookes, McRae and Pond.
