007 - C98FHK - 1.8 - LHD - Written off by FORD
Mike Moreton (in his book) mentions that this was one of the first two production cars, I think was RHD but the bad news is that Bob Howe is certain is caught light being delivered to Boreham as was totally destroyed. This was believed to be correct as the car has never surfaced but in 2009 I was gi...

006 - Prototype 6 - B340CAR - 1.8 - RHD - Written off in Portugal or was it?
Being one of the first 6 prototypes it "should" have been destroyed if you follow FORD's normal rules about prototypes, that said, chassis #003 made it ! I believe it was the only prototype to be Right Hand Drive, a Road version and was, after testing, so much of a mess it was destroyed by...

The good news about this car is that she is alive and well at is part of the FORD Heritage collection and spends most of her time at Dagenham in Essex. In Graham Robsons 7th newsletter he says; "Car No.3 - Retained by FORD by exhibition purposes" I orginally thought she bore the index B340...

002 - Prototype 2 - ?????? - X.X - LHD - Crash Test Car - Believed destroyed by Ford
For car #002 I have not been able to find any press photographs nor a registration number but we do know a little more about it’s life (I think). I have been told by Bob Howe that #002 was used for the official crash approval and I found these photos in amongst the papers he left me, on the back of ...

001 - Prototype 1 - B200FMC - 1.8 - LHD - Believed destroyed by Ford
This car is probably the most important but ironicaly is one that I know very little about it's final demise. In March 1984 the car was shown for the first time to FORD management to seek their approval and at that time it bore the index B200FMC but I have been unable to establish if the car was act...
