M4 East, Sat PM, Cosworth RS500

[Prince Rupert]

Saw a lovely maroon Sierra Cosworth RS500 moving rather quickly on the M4 on saturday afternoon heading toward Reading. I love that car, especially at high speed. If it was mine would want it in that purpley colour but if the owners on here, it made a very dull trip from Swansea to Surrey abit more interesting. Made a damn good noise too. I want one, complete with the small alloys and big wing very very much.

It wouldnt have been an rs 500 in that colour, the 3dr`s never came in that only the saphires

Must have been a painted 3dr as i cant see someone devalue there rs500 with a colour change


Still good too see the good old cossie`s kicken about, even tho i need to look at mine every day

May well have been coming back from Castle Combe as there was a big RSOC track meet there that day.

They only did the RS500 in black, white or moonstone blue by the way. Black is most common with roughly 4/5 of production in that colour, the remaining ones split between white and moonstone

That will be the car built up from a new shell by Brodie Britain Racing - the colour is an XJ220 maroon and its runs a 4x4 set up
