Reyland Mondeo - Reborn!

NightSt@lk3r · 26 Nov 2007 at 22:20

IIRC he is a freind of martin rayland.

Ish · 26 Nov 2007 at 22:21

The car belongs to Martin who owns Reyland. I'm a friend of his.

All the work on the car is done by Martin :cool:

Yay Ish is back!

Missed reading these, keep it up.

Slightly O/T - Whats the latest on the Cossie? It went **** up in the Gumball then I don't know what's happened to it. I seem to remember reading something but can't remember sorry.

Given its performance, who cares?

agw_01 · 27 Nov 2007 at 01:23

I think it looks awesome :cool:

The colour works really well with the wheels. Looking forward to seeing how this car turns out.

And :cool:

at Jeremy Clarkson shaking Martin's hand!

I don't quite think it was '94 because that car is on an N plate, but still it's an awesome car, a 512hp 4wd mk1 mondeo which looks like its straight out of the local council estate would most certainly give you the element of surprise

[TW]Fox · 27 Nov 2007 at 01:29

Yea, probably more like 98/99 given the T plate cars in the Clarkson thingy plus the fact you wouldn't buy a brand new fresh off the line Mondeo to do that to becuase there would be little point.

Begbie · 27 Nov 2007 at 03:45

Wow, nice car. Hope it gets built back up nice.

El Gringo · 27 Nov 2007 at 05:43

Aww, love the car but I think the paint job would benefit from similar styling to the Escort.
Still, subscribing to this thread

I've seen this car a few times and it's blisteringly fast. My face was the citrine yellow Escort Cosworth though, that thing looked like it had been fired out of a catapult when it took off.

The new escort has had all the teething problems sorted and had done numerous track days. It's now been mapped to 2.4 bar boost. No official times for it yet but watch this space!

The build was started in '94 and by the time the car was completed it was registered on a n plate.

I'm not that keen on the colour either but since the car was originally painted green everywhere:- boot/bonnet/underneath/arches etc a colour change would have been too much work.

That car is still around in Malta.

For some reason I read the title as Leyland Montego and thought who the hell would want to revive one of these

It was a brand new shell thou.

GeX · 27 Nov 2007 at 12:21

wasn't there a Reyland Focus too, i'm sure i've got a clip white monster power focus making a lot of tyre smoke - way before the ST and even the RS existed.

1CE · 27 Nov 2007 at 12:22

Was it this one by any chance?
