You have 4 racecars??? Respect Martin. I managed 2 once but sold the slower one in the end and kept the Nissan. Agree though the Sierra's are a piece of motorsport history and too good to race in that vintage. Shame though be great to see one out with us.

well not quite

as i have four now, sierra rs500 race cars plus the merc so thats five, goes to show how mad i am.

both labatts sierra harveys car is 100% original last race silverstone 1990

and then lawrence bristows car but this is now a thunder saloon,

the eggenberger texaco car is also original and not raced since fiji 500 1990

hi yer i know tony and was chatting to him saturday,

only problem is not a ex kalaber car but a copy and was never a 500 race car from btcc ect


there was three guys from leister way that did copys of labatts, brookland and kalaber cars for track days,

they where on the front cover of fast ford a while back this car is one of these.

the last owner tels me it was once a shell of a borum built rally three door sierra, and then it was a rallycross car hence the engine position.

Incidentally, anyone know how to get hold of David Roberts who binned his Tomcat into the Paddock gravel? I swear he aimed for me...
