Be interested to hear the official answer, I can think of at least three now. There is the OMSE built GYM3 Fiesta (used in
Gymkhana 3).
The H.F.H.V. Fiesta (used in
Gymkhana 4,
Gymkhana 5,
Rally America and
GRC 2012) was based on an M-Sport WRC shell, but I don't think it was prepared by M-Sport (I'm sure I recall Guru mentioning Henning Solberg at the time?).
Now he has got the RX43 (used in
Gymkhana 6,
GRC 2013 and
GRC 2014). There are two "RX43" spec cars. One is owned by Block and run by his team in the States, the other is owned and run by M-Sport. I believe it is the M-Sport owned car that Block drove in Norway and France (that's how I read the
Rallycross World article anyway).
Sure there has been at least one Block-owned Open class (Rally America) Fiesta as well, plus he has used several WRC Fiesta (which I assume have been rented from M-Sport?).
Moving back onto the subject of M-Sport rallycross Fiestas did anyone see the press release from M-Sport earlier this month? I just noticed it whilst looking for the link to the Rallycross World article:
M-Sport - Rallycross Project Expands
Couple of lines towards the end that caught my eye:

At least two more M-Sport Fiestas heading for the GRC then?
