Dagenham Secret Stash

[Remagel2507]

Didn't see anything in the search so apologies if this is a repost, but I found this link via Top Gear's facebook page and thought I'd share it with the rest of you as I'm sure I'm not the only one who would want to spend a day in that unit.

Which ones your favorite ? For me it has to be the Supervan

[joe58]

I still remember snippers of Rally GB as a tiny child with them later low wing Escort Cosworth rally cars(the one under wraps in image 1). Fond memory's.

[soad]

I'm going to say escort cosworth too.
A lot of tasty motors there.

That white MK1 Sierra Cosworth would do for me, proper 80s heavy tash, hairy muff Cadburys Flake advert retro car porn.

[K50 DEL]

Either one of the rally Mk2 Escorts for me please.... a fair few strange comments in that article though.... as far as I can tell there really isn't much Sierra inside that RS200 cockpit, it all looks MK2 Fiesta to me.

Bit confused by the blue van on french plates. Is that a Ford? I don't remember it.

Remember the Thames van ? It's the German Taunus version

[Mr Subtle]

Oh for a great big lottery win. Fantastic to see so many in such great condition.

[attym3]

Never seen one in yellow before....



ETA..looks like it's used as well judging by the brake dust on the wheels

Hannu Mikkola Mk1 Escort for me. Though I can see a fair few other things that I'd happily have tucked up in the garage!

[CarlT]

Quite surprised that they are not in proper sealed 'carcoons' and are just parked under plastic sheeting. Cant be good for the paintwork...

The blue one with the red back end??

Always had a soft spot for the Supervan's but need some standard bodykit, like the one they had on top gear!!

I'll have the white RS200 though thanks!

[PAUL. S]

They are all regularly used, a lot of them were at the recent Ford Centenary event in Dunton being driven in anger around the test track, even very rare ones like the last lhd saff cosworth

[bob1179]

Can I have one of each please?

Though I love the Sierras, probably down to my dad having a few new ones when I was a kid.

[Fartgalen]

Lot of nice motors there !
Look how low the GT is, stood next to the Escort Cossie !

Proposed special edition that didn't come to fruition

[LukeSi]

My dad had one in red before I was born. Stolen twice (old fords not hard to steal)

Given that there appears to be an active workshop there, have they considered the loss if it went up in flames?

[mrtwisty]

What's the dainty little yellow number here? Don't recognise it.
