WHAT CONCEPT(S) DO YOU WISH FORD HAD ACTUALLY BUILT?

“There’s so many. I’ve always liked the idea of a Mk1 Focus RS engine in a Mk3 Mondeo ST220. Everyone knows I’m a sucker for a Sierra, so a Cossie estate or a V8 Sapphire XR8 would be awesome. But the one I would actually have bought if it existed is a Mk3 Focus RS Estate like Shan’s example from this issue”

“Sadly, the idea of hot estate versions was so often missed by Ford. Even though plenty have been created over the years, I still love the idea of a factory RS Turbo Escort estate. Or if the Cosworth range also covered estates – a Flint Grey 2WD Cosworth estate would be the perfect workhorse companion to my Sapphire!”

“I’m going to go with a shooting brake version of the Capri. I’ve always loved the Reliant Scimitar, but a 3.0-litre Capri based version with a similar body style would have been so much cooler”

“If there’d been a Mk3 Focus RS estate, it’s safe to say I’d own one by now. Likewise, I’d have bought a Mk2 Focus ST wagon if it existed. The same goes for most performance estates – such as a Mk2 Escort Sport – but I reckon Ford missed out by dropping the Cougar ST200 and not pressing ahead with a turbocharged Mondeo, such as the ST250.” DAN WILLIAMSON, SUB-EDITOR & TECH WRITER

“In the early-1980s, Karmann and SVE knocked up a prototype targa version of the Sierra. That, with RS Cosworth running gear, could have been magnificent. ”
