Very nice, more pictures please.
Another one of the Rouse, plus my Crystal Blue 2wd Sapphire and 2.8i Special Capri...

Both Cosworths feature in Dan Williamson's book 'Factory-Original' Ford RS Cosworths' with superb photography courtesy of Simon Clay.....

That Rouse is a rare beast indeed being a 2wd!!! Looks a lovely example.

Yes, one other well known similar car in existence (TEL 302R) but that's it, so 1 of 2 now. Possibly a 3rd example still around, but unless it's been restored in recent times it would not be in very good shape, of to original spec.

Daft question, can you tell the difference with the bigger tyres on the Rouse?

I wouldn't say so, but 1) I don't drive them much, and 2) when I do, it's not that hard, but in reality I really wouldn't say the difference is significant. Rouse performs exactly as it should though, with less lag, and quicker response, but the blue car which has a non standard T34 and green injectors I.e old school stage 2 conversion, and 300 + bhp has the bigger kick. Both great though. Have had RS500s in various states of tune over the years but cannot afford anymore now, sadly !

I own this.

Steel wheels, 4-speed manual and a large-ish 4-barrel carburettor mated to a large-ish V8. Handles better than a pub bore would have you believe. The only electrics are the ignition, lights and 8-track.

I use flickr for pictures for now but I can still view photobucket pictures that have been posted as I found a way of using Firefox instead of Google that allows me to view them so I can see your picture.
