My dad scrapped loads of these and mk2 escorts he’s now in witness protection for his own safety

Honestly dont care if it is a rep,they are so rare in either form these days.just so nice see them like this rolling through town with massive road presence .nice motor that fella.

It's a 1.6 base shell with Cossie running gear, probably only running a little over standard power, but yea it's just a replica. But cost about a third of a real one, I'm sat in the passenger seat in that video lol

I pulled up along side a Sierra sapphire cosworth a few month back for a split second. I was driving my 93 Nissan pulsar GTI-R in black. Me and the cossie driver looked at each other and instantly nodded heads at each other lol showing respect to one another! I’ll never forget that moment 👊🏻

Its obvious it's not a real one, because it actually being driven instead of sitting under a cover in a garage somewhere!

"It's running no boost" lol Seems a humble bloke who instead of saying "500bhp" and "I don't want o risk it"" said it wasn't running right, but still gave it some welly. Fair play...1.6 shell or not.

I drove one of these cars in the mid-80s (maybe 85-86) as a brand new model on Zurich highways, and MAN... was that a fun car. Always a thumbs up when you find a rare car like this still on the road smoking rubber.

Replica or not looks and sounds the nuts, can hear its not running mad boost but he still gives it some - Nice squat and a little step out. Top man!

My dad had one of these back in the day miss him and that car. Absolute whip like

Looks amazing, sounds amazing and it's so rare to see this gem on the road, replica or not - the road presence is recognizable to many and obviously brings smiles, good on him for having taste!

The most English thing I’ve seen this week,love it

Had the pleasure of passing one of these near my neck of the woods...sadly the guy said he couldn't oblige the obligatory 'give it some wellie mate' request due to turbo issues 😞😞😞...still always great to see these legendary motors on the road 😍😍😍 Who else learnt to drive in one of these 🙋‍♂️ 🤣

What a gorgeous piece of engineering

20yrs on and they still look utterly amazing

This is one of my top 3 cars to have. Just beautiful

“Give it some welly” I will be reusing this phrase in life lol

Kingston upon Thames has never seen such a monster, except on a Tuesday night, when the beastly women roll out of Pryzm.

Fair play. You have the look with 1/3 of the cost. Nice rim choice too👍👌

sorry we have all the ford experts here... yes it's a rep.... still the complete dogs bullocks

A Sierra in Kingston? Love to see it! 😂😂

It’s all about road presence and this has it in bundles 👍.....sounds good too 😊

Whats surprising is how slow these are today by todays standards. Weren't they just over 200bhp as standard or something? It's mad thinking of that now. When I was 17 the fastest car I ever sat in was a lads Escort RS Turbo, it was a rocket ship. Looking now it was only about 130bhp or summit 😂 How cars have moved on is mad 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Seemed a nice guy, said it had no boost but still punched it in the guts, nice one

I used race round the one way in Kingston in my MK2 golf GTi great bit of track when it's empty over the bridge round the roundabout and back again .

Theres a guy around my area (west midlands) that likes to drive his rs500 everywere! Black on black, that YB howling like a demon. I spoke with the guy who owned it when I caught him at some shops, the guys was proper down to earth, asked him about the car and the history and so on. How the guy drove it youd think it was rep but oh no it was real, it was his dads who bought it brand new, and has passed it down to him! With nearly 90k on the clock it's done some pretty mileage for car of such value but to him I take my hat off, it's so nice to see such a piece of automotive history actually be used rather then just sat in someone's garage!

I don't care if its a rep, its still got a turbo, looks like one (to a layman like me) and its really organic how the video was shot and it makes a nice little screech as it changes gear :) Quality!

Good old Kingston 😬

I wish we got these and the escort Cossies in the states. I absolutely LOVE these cars.

What a lovely rare classic car!

Nice car. I always get that when mines got issues and running low boost people always seem to want me to gun it but always up for a little go lol. Fair play to him

I used to rag my golf GTi round this lovely Kingston race track.

I am not normally a car fan as like two wheels.. but this my friend is sweeeet.. I like these

Hey 👋 rated people who cherish these classics but still drive them like they should be driven💪💪💪

That was the best reply ever lol “Give it some WELLY😂👍

The wheels spun in 1st. Not second. Or even 3rd 😂 as someone suggested

An iconic car,in Kingston upon Thames I think😂

Had some good races there, if you know. You know. 😂 The bend before the tunnel is the ONE.

Why am I seeing this 4 years too late? LOL ....LOVE IT :)

Just pure gangster luv the old skool cossy sounds sick lucky bastard

aww I remember way back in the early 90s, all the hard big boy racers had one of these and escorts lol Still lovely cars today though!

Rep or not it spun the wheels in second gear 😂

I fuckin' love a Cossy, a thing of beauty.

Got to love the Kingston (Upon Thames) massiiiiiiiiive! 😂

really wish there were more around nowadays

love them cars got so hypes when I saw a cosworth RS 500

Great video and game cossie driver put a big grin on my face :)

Im afraid that the Ford Sierra Cosworth has fallen into the exotic supercar league. Being owned by saddos who just keep them locked away all the time. But when I see videos like this of them being driven properly it's refreshing. I just miss the old days when they were hooning up and down the streets being antisocial. I love these cars so much. One of the best looking cars ever made. Its up there with Testorossas for me and the Countach

kingston crew!!!!

Those are some Michele Alboreto rivalling gear changes right there!

Back in 1989 I was going to hire one for a week, however I didn't because the insurance for the week was £5000 no refund - happy days

Ain't running no boost but boosts off nicely 💪💥

TUNNEL !!!!!! I've driven through longer car washes. Nice sounding replica though

What a motor, rep or not! Pleasure to see on the road 👌

My first love, my only love, Sierra Cozzy!!!

It’s a beautiful thing. What a machine that was. And is

Lovely car. Used to have a black sierra 4x4. Good times. Couldnt find one of these anywhere.

Awesomeness, looks cool. Goodluck to the owner with it.

Lol. I had one of these for 10 years. No Body had to tell me to, ‘give it some wellie mate’ !!

That cute little screech!

Love It ! I ran one for 9 Years !

Kingston upon Thames?? Get in.. I had one of these in the 90s..But the bog standard Sierra Sapphire..loved it

Cars from the 80's were the best

superb, great nature to the driver..... Kingston surrey.

Every performance car I have has its Rites of passage through the tunnel at Kingston😆

Huge fan of this Ford Escort

This should so be a meme "Give it some welly mate"

Love Kingston, love cossie :)

A work college of mine has one of these cars. Its worth a million and in excellent Condition.. Been working there for 2 years. Have only seen him driving his cosworth 3 times.. Rest of the time he sticks to a Fiat Seicento 1,1 😜

My dads mate had 3 an escort a sapphire and one dropped into a van he was in a wheelchair so all hand controls I'll never forget the ride as a kid passenger in the sapphire HOLY FUCK!!!

0:38 - Boost most certainly ready lol

Que coisa linda!! 😍 Cuiabá - Brazil 👍🏽

Come to Birmingham run it through the queensway tunnels

Power car. Absolutely beautiful

Can't wait to do this in my Toyota Auris Touring Sports 1.2T !! Boost!!

I love Cossies so much!

This video SCREAMS geeza 😂😭

That is a real cosworth because it spun when the turbo kicked in.I had one in the 80s so I know.

Ahhh the Kingston one way system....

Best sound ever

when he hit second gear you can see the black soot coming out the exhaust which means that isnt being driven a lot.

Nice rims :)

Spinning the wheels in 2nd gear. Nice car for a rep. 👍

Give it some welly mate 😂

I had a stage one magenta saph,was the greatest drive ever

Lovely car...what a lucky man

What a car honestly

This is what you call a real car, better than the modern crap.

"Can't, ain't got no boost." [Still makes some boost] :D

I wish we had these in the states

"boosts trough tunnel" ... "BOOSTS" ... the driver on the vid says "I ain't got no boost" ... :D

"Ow" "Give it some welly mate!"

Looks like Kingston Upon Thames by the scenery

It makes me so angry that we didnt get any of the 70s, 80s, or 90s ford sports cars in the US, i would kill for a Sierra Cosworth 4x4 or mk2 Escort! We even got a car called the Merkur XR4TI which looked exactly like a Sierra Cosworth RS but they fucked it up with base model brakes and a sohc "pinto" motor. We also got the mk1 Capri but only in very small numbers as a "test market" so they are almost impossible to find now, same with the Merkur "Scorpio" which was a base model Sierra, i believe they were only sold for one year before ford pulled the "Merkur" line off the American market.

My mate had a 280bhp civic crx mk1 the tiny ones And we blipped two of these only to be taken by a lancia delta Also I love how he says give it some welly any man is hesitant for 0.5 seconds and like yes fuk it

Shit that’s Kingston!

Why don't I ever see cars like this when I'm in Kingston..

GOOD BLESS THE UK!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

Old skool in my town love it

And how I've regretted all my life been in the vauxhall camp through my late teens and 20's 😭😭😭

The guys filming are keeping up with the cossie , in a Nissan micra🤫
