As for how many? Nobody seems quite sure, but less than ten survived...

You can't leave it at that. What is it? The intakes in the rear suggest there's a motor in there like the Renault 5.

Its an Escort RS 1700T

As said, it's an RS1700T. After the project was cancelled Ford had 200 Cosworth BDT engines kicking around, these formed the power supply for the next Ford rally car, along with some chopped down Sierra doors and a Sierra windscreen...

As featured in Fast Five.

I've not long had my holy grail car and there are only about 50 roadworthy in the UK and maybe 300 worldwide left. It's pretty much rust free too and ready to be made into the car I really want

Out of interest, why a RHD F40? I'd prefer a proper LHD.

Interesting, Why would a RHD F40, built by Ferrari, not be a proper F40?

lambos should be outrageous.

P4/5

[GravelBen]

I'd be happy with a 22B

[deltashad]

The idea was good but the execution awful.

Below the one-off evo3 viola by Maggiora, who built the evo2 between 92 and 94. Rejected by lancia ending the integrale rein.


Always wanted this car- maggiora puntograle (point 2 grama)
Was never registered, sold for 40k e.

More from maggiora,
The fiat barchetta FHC


Who doesn't find the Enzo buck prototype just awesome

[Pints]

Not as rare as those above but I've always had a hankering for the Cosworth Impreza STi CS400. Apparently only 75 sold in the UK.

[steviegunn]

I have few where the most I could ever hope for is a scale model of them:

Ferrari Modulo



Ferrari 350 P4 Can Am



Ferrari F40 Barchetta (Beurleys)



Ferrari F40 LM/GTE (Pilot Racing)



Ford GTX-1



Alfa Romeo Disco Volante



Any of Tom Meades wonderful creations

The car you really want wouldn't happen to have belonged to a certain John Steed by any chance.

Thanks for that. Bit of Ford history I knew nothing about..

For most 'holy grail' cars here, someone owns it and doesn't even look at it.

[Nik da Greek]

I've got three, all rotaries, two of which are unique and one of which has already "gone" in terms of being affordable to mere humans. Still, if we're talking pure fantasy...

the Mazda RX500 concept. Late 60s/early 70s breadvan chiq at its finest. Wanted it ever since having a Matchbox one as a kid. Sadly, there's only one in the world so I can't see it coming up for sale at a price I could reach





Next up, the stillborn GM rotary "Corvette". Again, only one still exists. I was lucky enough to see it once, although I only had my phone so apologies for the shoddy pics. Even without the proposed GM three-rotor and with a wheezy Mazda 12A, it still gives me profound tumescence





Lastly, the only production car.. but still well beyond my reach. The Mazda Cosmo. Gorgeous, rarer than grated unicorn tadger and barring lottery wins, just as much of a pipe dream as the one-offs

Ferrari 456 Venice
