The best Cosworth

-

The most iconic performanc­e car of the 1980s is celebratin­g its 30th anniversar­y in style, having been named the‘Ultimate Cosworth’ by one of the UK’s biggest one-make car shows.

The Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth pipped its spiritual successor, the Escort RS Cosworth, to the post, securing over 55 per cent of the votes in an online survey carried out by Ford Fair.

A special display celebratin­g both of the fast Fords will be one of the main features of this year’s show, at Silverston­e, this Sunday.

The RS500 was originally developed for homologati­on purposes to give the eighties’ favourite repmobile, the humble Ford Sierra, a chance to compete in World, European and British Touring Car Championsh­ips.
