Apparently Mark Owns Petter Solbergs Escort Cosworth RAC Rally Recce Car

[@nigelturner2018]

The car was originally built by Andrew Brown Motorsport in Daventry. I was the co-driver to both Rod Menzies and Alan Peacock. We had a number of top 10 BTRDA results and several 2nd place finishes on our local Sort Out Stages rally. It never went to Belgium and was indeed let go by Peacocks of Balham to M-Sport. The registration PRC was Rod's company PRC Colour Processing. I have good memories of co-driving in that car. I probably have some in build photos hidden in a draw somewhere.

Marks a natural in front of the camera I loved hearing the stories about the car. Stunning cossie and fair play for using it and driving it through the water...lol legend! 10:28 hahaha nice Escort mag

[@scottneil998]

Marks got a few cars that have been parked in that bit of water. He's got a mk1 astra gte that's all over the Internet and another standard escort as well

[@MrMikeyc10]

My childhood dream car. I remember watching these at the RAC rally tearing through Chatsworth and Clumber Park. Fantastic video this one.

[@LickyDischarge]

I’d give up drinking smoking sex and drugs for the rest of my life to own that car. Absolutely fecking awesome!!!!!!!

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Adam, mate, this is right up there, what a brilliant, brilliant car, and the guy is fantastic to listen to. He knows that car, history everything. And.... it's not a garage queen but used and enjoyed. Excellent video. Cheers, Alex.

[@davidmason2179]

Nothing better than listening to someone who is truly passionate about something. You can hear it in his voice how much he loves that car.

[@TomSunderland]

Where is this Ford located at 0:03 please?

[@donaljamescaddye3805]

At the time it was a 34mm restriction for Group A and 36mm for Group B - My father was a scrutineer in them days and used to fit the seals - he found one on a GT4 Celica once that worked like a camera aperture ! That car brings me back - Best livery was James Cullen in the Yorkie sponsored Cossie Escort !! Great video - Great Memories!

[@Boppa1260]

Now that's a proper car, and he has some good PRIVATE farm tracks 🤣🤣

[@geraldswain3259]

You took the exact words I was going to post out of my mouth.

[@jaxgeorge3088]

He’s owns quite a few houses on his private farm tracks. 😂😂

[@GrahamStorr]

Was going to say exact same thing,plus he must own most of the countryside round there,think we all no defo not private there public rds lol 😆😜

[@R55LSD]

@@GrahamStorr Obviously 🤦🏼😂

[@ells-aviation]

Massive farm

[@Zero_Ninety]

He put road signs up as well.

[@grahamfrench7003]

Adam Your face over jump --- Priceless.

[@BestKiteboardingOfficial]

Adam's face on the farm tracks, a picture, never seen you happier mate.

[@tonykeast9966]

Stunning build, legend of a car, crazy good history. Perfect owner for it... still uses it hard and appreciates everything about it. Our Scottish private farm tracks kick arse eh?

[@dougieirvine3980]

Stunning car and great owner, imagine him and the rs500 guy having a Ford talk, you getting to meet some great guys ☺☺🤣👍👍

[@Buck3366]

Smithy with the Cheshire Cat grin all the way round the ‘farm tracks’ 😁😁😁😁. Thanks to Mark for the giving you the experience .

[@suitsyousir1980]

That’s some farm eh😂

[@flange06joj]

I used to have a Scalextric when I was a kid and the two cars were this and the Pilot Escort cossie. So cool.

[@baldmonkgaming4359]

Been waiting for a rally cossie to see on your channel, and he gave it some on some "farm tracks" Quality vid man

[@damiantaylor7993]

When Colin Allister and Jimmy McCrea used to be based in Lanark you used to see them blasting up and down the private Ravenstruther to Lanark road in rally prepped Escorts,Sierra’s all the time , seeing that just brought back the memories for me

[@sscottwilsonn]

McRae just saying 😂

[@TABRO284]

This is phenomenal, So glad it is being driven.

[@joyrider7421]

i could listen to him talk about that motor all week, what an amazing bloke and amazing car loved the mag under spare wheel, cracking video pal

[@garysimpson8860]

I was luckie enough to be a passenger in a group A escort many years ago probably 15 years ago at a trackday and i had a smile on my face like you 👌 I just remember the rawness off it all , don’t build em like that anymore , great video 🙏

[@Mickyrst43]

Brill car,great to hear it's history.Mark,the owner come's across as a genuine passionate bloke,his knowledge and love for the car,and the fact that he own's a rally legend that he followed in the forests as a young man.I'm looking forward to seeing this car now at the NEC.Great video Adam!!!!!!!

[@01FozzyS]

One badass collector's item. Nice guy Mark. That look of joy in your face,Adam!

[@RoperMotorsportTV]

This guy's awesome and to actually use the car properly make it's even better 😀

[@coops717]

Adams face in the passenger seat 😬😂

[@davehalliday3217]

Best livery on a Escos. I had a Kyosho replica of this car as a kid. Love it !!

[@sqwidink1]

Got a Tamiya 1 NIB

[@astravanmk2]

That was brilliant - like watching a tarmac stage back in the day. It sounds absolutely superb a real credit to the owner.

[@rabmc]

Fantastic, my good mate Roy had a white motorsport escort cosworth that ran those wheels that you have as your spare wheel in white too, gutted as most of us have been priced out of the Cosworth market now that sold at the wrong point. My other friend had a mallard green gartrac mk4 escort rwd and essentially a rs turbo to the eye that ran 380bhp YB, all of our little group of friends had cosworths and so on, great memories and fun on the roads, fixing them, tuning them and so on. Love these old Ford uploads, owner seems a really nice guy too.

[@hootie121188]

Great chap! Love to see someone so passionate.

[@user-xr8ce7no7k]

Really enjoyed this review 👌 great seeing Mark going for it in the lanes. Beautiful car

[@DafyddPhillips]

Great car and good that it’s parts are being kept moving 🏁🏁👌

[@scottwilson1510]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4GYk5Joidt4jq8 Good swap in my opinion I prefer the rally spec too although the road goer was a diamond as well

[@christopherbaker1645]

Brilliant Adam just brilliant, took me back to when I used to watch rallying as a kid fantastic, thanks Adam what an absolute treat, would love to be sat where you were mate , very few people get to experience what you did fair play your face said it all you lucky chap 👍

[@seanmckinley7359]

Great content mate, Mark was brilliant could've listened to him all day. Found myself smiling alot watching this👏🏻

[@thetezz0001]

The fact it's a legitimate ex race car makes it all the more special

Myself being born in 83' in 🇺🇸 into a FORD family. I had a Cosworth Repsol Rally RC Car and was hooked. Always dreamed of having one, if I won the lotto it would be my 1st purchase. But sadly these days I'd be happy with just seeing and hearing one in person. Still waiting in the 🇺🇸 for that day to come 😪 🤞🤞🏁

[@excdave2324]

Great video! Top bloke enjoying such an iconic car. Glad it's not in a static collection.

[@sliderno1155]

Do rally cars not have log books in the UK/EU? Most homologated cars will have a log book with all details of events entered etc.
