500+ Hp Ford Sierra Thunder Saloon, , Cosworth Turbo Widebody Monster

Another Special Guest on Retro Rides Gathering 2019 was this quite unique Ford Sierra, Sapphire of Trevor Collar, built to race on the spectacular ThunderSaloon Series in England, a Rear Wheel Drive YB Cosworth powered Monster. Originally built by Dave Thomas, it belongs to Mr. Collar since 2003 and since then has built totally rebuilt by Ford, Cosworth specialist Geoff Page, producing over 500Hp from its 2. 0L Turbo Engine nowadays with the power being delivered to the Rear Wheels through a Gartrac Touring Car Gearbox and weighing around 1150Kg. As a machine tuned for circuit racing and sporting a live rear axle setup, it suffered with some gearing and traction issues on its Hillclimb Racing debut, but all in all it is a totally bespoke Race Car that deserves all our attention both for its spectacular looks and also its potential.
