From the FORD records I have seen I think this car was originally sold to H Tanaka of the Kiwa Trading Co. in Tokyo, Japan around August 1987 the sale having been arranged through Gordon Palmer (GP Enterprises from Berkshire) complete with a 300 BHP kit and Blue Rally Stripes.
I believe H Tanaka was a Japanase car trader and I lost track of the car around September 1987 when it was owned by a Teruo Minagawa from Chiba, Japan who I think may have been the forth owner which seems a lot in a small space of time.
In 2011 Petter Andersen found a link to the car for sale in Japan but we lost track of it and have no images
If you find out anything else about this car please drop me an email and I'll update the cars entry !
