The collection has been in a couple of mags. Would love a look around there.

 

The Escort isn't full WRC spec sadly, but looks the part!

 

I did get a bit sus looking at the mirrors actually, theyre clearly not WRC ones, in fact they look like mk5 ones...Didnt cossies have mk6 shaped ones?

Aye, definitely, nothing like my WRC mirrors. Big turbo Cossies have MK5 mirrors, small turbo ones have MK6.

 

with all the money ford had, wouldnt you expect they were stored in much different surroundings rather than just a big unit? :O :)

 

It's a working garage effectively I think, as the cars are used for events and the like, so the cars are in and out a bit, and being worked on. That's the impression I get anyway.

I currently work for Fords in Dagenham and this building with the cars stored in it is just up the road from me. In fact it is the old Ford YTS building where I started my career back many years ago. Before they cars were moved to this building, some of the cars were kept in a small museum inside the Ford training centre in Dagenham. I remember cleaning one of the RS200s when I was training in the car mechanics garage.

 

The building is not open to the public, and not even to Ford employs! The best chance to see the cars is when they take various cars out to shows or special events etc.

 

Shame really. You would think Ford would have a dedicated musuem were the public can go in and view this impressive collection of Ford history.

that time I peaked through your bathroom window when you was getting out the bath was a honest mistake.

 

I thought you was female.....even when you turned to face me I wasnt a 100% sure.

 

all I can say is thank god for Adams apples.
