I saw this car at the 2004 RS Owners club national day at Donnington Park, it look very nice in gleaming red and it appear to have power steering which is quite rare, it would be interesting to know the story behind that as not many had this feature, it was, apparently, a pig to make it all fit ! At that time it was shown as being owner by (PA) who also B2OOT.
In August 2007 I received a load of emails as #115 has appeared at a FORD dealership for sale (along with a very nice RS500!).
The advert read:-
