🔥MAX POWER Era COSWORTH Survivor 🚗 & Daily DRIVEN Sierra RS500🤯 | Insane BARN FIND Ford Collection🔥

[@dappergent9422]

What wouldn't I give for a Sapphire Cosworth. This guy know his shit. Hat's off.

[@rustysphotography]

I know i wouldn't give a sierra rs500 cosworth for one lol

[@watchreviews4k]

Interesting collection. I can still remember the registration of my Sapphire Cosworth; F150KGS. I had some great times in it. The stiletto heel marks on the roof lining above the passenger seat always made smile. I had 9 points on my licence for speeding when chased by an Omega MV6 before being banned for 6 months on my final drive in it. The sound of a Cosworth always takes me back to those days, driving home from raves and clubs in the 1990's. Regards, WR4K.

I lived around the corner from Turbo Systems and used to chase stuff coming out of there up the A34. I had a quick ‘built’ Lotus Sunbeam and Dez (Desert Storm) and Snow Storm used to just squat down and feck off!

[@MrStraightGangsta]

My mate used to park his mint sapphire Cosworth on my mums drive, for security, until one day I decided to sit in it to listen to music on the stereo, for some reason I decided to let the handbrake off, then i got out and it rolled down the drive, bent the door back on one side and wrecked the other side where it scuffed all along a stone wall, needless to say we don't speak anymore

[@Braveheart7914-idfl]

Used to go down turbo systems every week Tony , John always welcomed you I have been out in it few times . Literally 1 mile from my house . Castle performance used to test their cars up to Parkhouse roundabout by TS and vice versa down to the old Bernie round about where castle was . You could here them from my living room 👍🏻😂😂

I lived in Norfolk which Im guessing is his neck of the woods by the accent, probably used to be mine hahaha!

[@fastcarmagazine]

We couldn't agree more. The owner's passion shines through and he loves to drive them and that's what they were built for. It's always a shame to see a car wrapped up in cotton wool.

Yes, we are trying to arrange a shoot with the three cars (I believe Barry owns A20 KOS) and there's the other car that was built by Kevin Gribbles (F20 KEV). Plus, Tony's own Saph, Desert Storm (A5 TNY) is still about, so would be cool to get that on a video too. Hoping to arrange something for next year! :)

[@davekennedy6315]

Eeeww 3 spokes have always been hideous! Surely swapping those wheels ain't exactly gonna devalue the car, as all those mods will have already done that. Other than the 3 spokes and interior ruining, very cool.

[@fastcarmagazine]

3 Spokes are definitely Marmite. The owner has kept them because he wants to preserve its original TurboSystems' look from the early 90s, not because he's worried about devaluing the car.
