Good man Dec, you know your audience! Will be battering this thread later on :D
Will get going with this little baby first, the 210bhp Limited. Think there was one in Ireland until a couple of years ago when the Germans came over to bring it home :(

That's great to hear Mike, it's easy to think that in recent years all of the nice stuff has left our shores

Not seen one of those GTiRs on the road for years. Used to get good press back then as a Cossie/Integrale rival for less money. Would quite like a white one

Basically a Sierra Sapphire front on a P100 (Can also get Cortina Mk5 Versions)
That one in the pic is modded, they come with transit wheels as standard but you can use a Capri rear axle and standard sierra front hubs to convert them to 4-Stud.
It also has a Cosworth bumper, Grill and 4x4 Bonnet.
Although if you want a rare Ford Pick-up:
Ford Bantam,

There's also a guy in Ireland with 2 Sierra Vans! And I know of a Mk5 Cortina Hatchback (Although not factory, But it's as good as)
