uncool this was the toy version of the only cool cossy the RS500...
found this one pic
Bit late guys i know, but i have to disagree with Serpico here with his comment on Jap 4x4's with turbos, not in standard form it wouldnt..... Ive had one of these, i wanted one for ages, gorgeous looking with such a presence, as the old addage goes, 'never meet your heroes', not a truer statement for me, disappointed with it in its entirety, got fed up with the fcucker braking down, got lashed by every single scoob and evo i ever challenged......glad to see the back of the thing!!!! IMHO merely a Sierra in frock, looks good though.
Having owned two of these fine beasts (small & large turbo) I can say they were the best cars Ive ever owned. My wallet and missus would not agree tho! The cossies will still embarrass a lot of the new jap stuff with turbo's & 4wd.
i would never want to own one just because i think their are far better cars to own for the money nowadays
I went in my uncles which was brand new reg "K2 COS" at the time it was a sensation, I remember him taking it up to 145mph and bricking it! Never been in one since.
I know this thread is about the Escort but.........this pic of an RS500 is SUB SUB Zero. I've only ever seen 3 original RS500's and this looks amazing. Worth a fortune now!
No britiish ford could ever be cool
