Here you´ve got some pictures of the car with some of the different liveries it has had.

The original reg-plate was P10 RED. Pedro Diego drove a Ford Escort WRC in Rally Madeira 2000, it´s possible that these car is the car that he drove in 2000? And if yes, he had the same reg-plate?

Finlay set the fastest time by a lot on the first stage only to roll off the road on the second. It was then in white with large orange arrows all over it. Not exactly easy on the eye!

Here is a picture from the car at Rally GB 1996. The driver was Ari Vatanen. At the end of the year the car was converted from a Group A car to a World Rally Car.

I forgot to ask you, do you have any information about the car tha Dany Vasquez drove in 2002? I have a picture a the car, and I think that the reg-plate was A 220 STW, but I´m not sure.
