A nice piece of rally history. They are all great cars!

Great clips of the Mk I! Now I know where the paint job for the Rally Trophy Escort Mk I Factory Team Car came from, (but is that in Finland?) :smash:

A brilliant video of the Cossie, some really great footage! I've even been to the exact place where one of the shots was filmed, the a double hairpin at Crychan, but that was in 2003! :)

But when he comes down the hairpin 1 minute 30 seconds into the clip, and spins, why does he go back up it the wrong way, and carry on? There was enough room to handbrake it around at the widest part of the hairpin.

The only suggestion I have is that because there was no number on the car, Gwyndaf was therefore testing and decided to go back? But why would he do that right next to a camera (if it was there to film the car for promotion purposes), and why would he be testing on a main road?! :smash: :slap:
