@Calvertfilm tell me about it, i know live in greece, and am searching high and low for an origional series 1 rs turbo in left hand drive .......... any help greatly apreciated !!
@c20let260 We are all right hand drive in the UK. I'm not sure were you would find a decent left hand drive one. Perhaps someone else knows reading this?
@Calvertfilm i really hope so ive only been here 4 years im from london ! can import from uk but id really like it to be lhd ...... its just so much easier !!
My first cars Escort XR3 Mk II 1.6 8V CHT, my second cars is a Peugeot 306 XS 1.6 8V, my third car is a Peugeot 306 XSi 1.8 16V, my forth car is a Fiat Tempra 8V and my actual car is a XSara VTS 2.0 16V... 180 HP+
carmakers here do funny things , or we dont really want fun to drive cars . mid eighties , a mild escort "gt", early 90's for like 3 years,a 127 hp mazda pwered gt , which was a grear car ,and focus , for 2 years they made an "svt focus ,basically an st170 ,with 170 hp ,and then pulled it , today ,we dont even get the new focus here , but you can get a volv0 s40/v50 which it is based (for alot more cash).ans many more models , we just never get , or dont sell... because they arent trucks ? lol

Hopefully it might be in Auto Express again soon - Corgi measured it up for a 1/43rd scale toy last year and AE photographed it.

Corgi Vanguard release a 1/43rd model in Oct 2008. Sunstar have already released a 1/18th. Each was measured from this XR.
