Reyland Mondeo - Reborn!

I know there was a post about this already but it's easier fro me to start this one and add the pics as well.

This car was originally built in the late 1994. It's a cossie powered mondeo with the cossie 4wd running gear. It started off with a 400 bhp bhp engine and then progressed onto the 512 bhp powerplant.

These are some pics of the original build from '94.

After returning from DJM it was time to start building it...

some pics from it's early life..





At Donno

wow this is gonna be a good log

At a 0-100-0 day (can't remember which mag) with martin's old Skyline to the left.

Cosmo did 0-60 in 3.8 that day !!!!!

Martin was invited to have my car featured on a Men and Motors programme but this happened the day before. They still filmed the car around the damage



At The Clarkson shoot, he's shaking martin's hand because his cars were wasted by a humble Mondeo..

The car was then de-tuned to about 330 bhp ready to sell

De-tuned and ready to sell...

April 02 the car is sold but while the buyer is sorting the money out the decision is made to just do just one more
track day, what could possibly go wrong..

Some old mag articles including a photo of the mondeo wasting some supercars at a clarkson video shoot

5 years pass and it's time to rebuild the car!

It's a road car so no cage or anything but it will have 'more than 500 bhp' and with it being such an aerodynamic shape some good sprint/top speed times are on the cards

That's it so far. I'll update this post as the build progresses. The car is not to everyones taste but it's 'different'

Is this your car or do you work for reyland?

I really like it, keep it sticker free and it's a true sleeper. You can't beat a good sleeper.

Gorgeous car. So do you work for reyland or something? or are you rebuilding it because you are the private owner?
