Paul knows so much about the development of the RS500’s. As we know, these cars continued racing in Australia, into ‘92. I’ve always wondered if there were any tentative plans to race the Sapphire Cosworth. The car had a decent career in Group A rallying - and the 4WD would’ve been beneficial against the R32 GTR.

Hi Adam & Paul, guy's what a brilliant video, Paul you are a pleasure to listen to my friend, such detailed explanation literally unparalleled in my experience. I used to work at a Ford main dealer in the 80's and spent many a weekend at Brands Hatch watching these very cars, so an added pleasure to hear the back story from you. As always thank you Adam for making the video, and to you Paul for fantastic input, totally turned a rubbish lock down evening into big smiles in my house guy's. Cheers, Alex. P.s, have to say it again Paul, you really have the ultimate "man cave" there... so jealous..!!!!

This car is the one reason why I ended up doing what I do. The single most important car in my life! I found out it was bought from Zak by a guy 20 mins from me, but gutted to hear that he couldn't afford it. Although he did want to race it, you cant risk the most important RS500 ever to have been built!
