Scottish Elises

Today while getting my Clio sport MOT'ed I had the opportunity to have a close look at possibly the finest MK2 I have ever seen. The car was built for a one off rally appearance. Everything is top drawer kit and I believe was all brand new. Absolutely stunning to see the attention of detail that was used in this build.
Driven by Ari Vatanen, co-driver was Dave Richards of Pro Drive fame who wanted to buy the car but tried haggling over the price and was subsequently beaten buy someone up here.

Oh forgot to add, if you don't like the Escort well there is always one of these,

holy heck! Utter car pr0n there. I think I prefer the 200 - I think one of the first ever Corgi cars I got was an RS200. Bet that of itself would be worth something now had I not done my own version of an A-team shoot-out on it with a pair of scissors...

Which garage is this btw?

Oh, you could've at least taken a better pic of the calendar on the wall

Greg,
the escort is worth a lot more than the RS but I get what your saying. RS has 4k mile from new BTW. And for obvious reasons I ain't going to post on an open forum where these two are sitting right now. There are people on here who may have seen them already and others that will work it out, I just hope they don't post where that is as your looking at collectively 200k worth of Fords

The RS200 eventually gets worked on - its been there some time now.....

Very nice cars for Scottish roads

I'm with Greg - I've always had a soft spot for the RS200!

Phil,
different one.

just like buses - wait for ages to see one, then two come along at once

Automotive porn - hardcore !!

That Mk2 is amazing, I hate to think the zeroes required to get that. The engine is utter p0rn, BDAs are amazing engines. Not that I'd say no to the 200 though.

I did the tour at MSport when McRae was still driving. The private collection there is something to behold.

Stunning cars

I got the chance to see the MK2 in action at the Mcrae stages.

The escort is amazing, but the rs is one of my all time favourites. Would beat a heck of a lot of much more exotic stuff to my lottery garage

Can put you in touch with someone who has one for sale. All you'll need is 55k IIRC

Some more shots of the MK2.

You've made my day, thanks for showing us those
