My old rowing coach Roger Drummond had one of the Arrows Cossie Escorts in Tasmania, Australia. He also owned an original Lotus Mk1 Escort with the engine out of an open wheeler race car in it. He had them in his garage stored on a hoist, one on top, one underneath. He passed away and Arrows Cossie was sold on commission for the family by a car dealer here in Hobart. I believe they kept the Mk1 Lotus Escort? I can’t recall. It was about 7 years ago and the Arrows Cossie could have been purchased for around $45-50k AUD back then from memory which is a steal looking back with the benefits of hindsight. It had the livery of the WRC cars. He had only recently spent a load of money on it just before he died. I’ll never forget seeing the two Escorts in his garage, the first and the last hot Escort!!

The 90s. Undisputed decade of mint.

Amazing to find out that cars like that even exist. Wow

I remember about 7 years ago the Arrows one here in Australia was up for sale. Was up for ages before it was either sold or removed from sale. From memory it was part of a deceased estate sale. In today’s terms of price I think it was about 30k GBP.

John, see my other post, I was friends with the owner, Roger Drummond who passed away.

Hi Adam, Now this is both beautiful and rare £80K who would ever have thought we would see that eh..!! Great to see. Cheers, Alex.

Adam always finds them he's the man

That would look mint in your new garage Adam Proper nice example

P28 have shifted loads of Ford stuff lately going off their IG page.. It's amazing that they're finding the stock to the level of quality they are!! 👍👍👍

Nice one Adam.

Back until 96, arrows were owned by a Japanese company called footwork. In 96 they became TWR arrows when Tom walkinshaw racing bought them out and changed the branding and logo so this is I'd imagine in homage to the footwork era coming to a close.

What a great livery Sergio Tacchini, this is a dream car.

What a special car absolutely amazing

Love the Series 1 RS Turbo in the background too, went on their website and had a butcher’s, they’ve got some lovely cars.

Great video adam, I used to work at brooklyn ford in the mid 90's, those cars would have been done by a guy called Andy Fisher at brooklyn Ford RS at lakeside in Redditch, which is where I worked, they did a few special cars there including the red brooklyn ford RS500 touring car which lived at lakeside and the focus T190 and T230 cars which were done in conjunction with mountune and were featured on top gear in the mid 90's and driven/tested by tiff needell. I think I've even got some brooklyn ford dealership stickers that were put in the rear windows of new cars in that era.

Great video, Adam.

Stunning

Strange this should pop up today! I've literally just been chopping up a Jabroc skid plank from an F1 Footwork Arrows FA17, the successor to the 95 Footwork which bore the same livery as this Escort!

What an absolute gem!!!

I’ve seen this car for sale numerous times over the years on various links over social media

One of them was Greta Thunberg

the little handheld camera - see if there’s a setting to make it not strobe with 50hz lights - it might be set to that foreign 60hz muck…

Adam I had a set of wheels off one of these for my EC , they were brand new

I remember seeing one of these on display at a F1 weekend many years ago. Would have been British G.P. or French cos I only went to them when Hill drove the Arrows. Quite possibly the same car.

Stunning 👌👌

Nice find

What a find Adam you can’t beat a blue oval RS Cosworth.

That is one lovely car, its a shame they can't find the other ones.

Lovely bit of kit that

What a cool car

Small turbo tho I like the original ones best with the propper engine cover

That’s lovely! Praying for a lottery win for that!

Now that looks a fun unit haha

Trade in the Sierra Adam you know you want the Escort 😂

This is fucking nice.

Adam, are you becoming a user car sales youtuber?

It would be cool to see that livery on a mk3 RS

Nice 😲👌🏼

What a beauty

Are you going to Ford power live at the weekend it will be good

Sweet

Lovely jubilee 🙏👌

There was on in Wolverhampton few years ago is this it????

My mates dad used to have a cosworth Monte Brooklyn

Very nice 👍

Get it bought Adam, go half's with Paul Linfoot!

Wow what a car awesome video man 🤘🏻😜

👍nice what a rare Cossie 🤪

Bargain ❤️🔥

Mint cossie 😊

What a diamond 💎😍

writing to santa immediately.

That's the 🐩🐩🍒

3:19 lol I’m so childish 💦

The others are not missing they had the wheels binned off and decals so unless someone knows what it was originally they are lost

Rare or not the value put on these things is well beyond what they are truly worth, bit like vw transporters.

If I had the money I'd buy that in a heartbeat

Awesome car wow 80k

nice cossie 80k good price that

My dream car 🚗 😍😍😍

Change them gash wheels and that is a beauty! I do love the graphics. Ps I know the wheels are good just not…

Some 17" white OZ rallys would set it off lovely.

Beautiful machine but prefer a standard escort cossy lux in blue

If I had a spare 80k I'd buy it. Really nice well looked after. 👌 I've got an escort gti 1998 R in blue if anyone knows someone. It'd been sat in my garage for 10 years.

Dads brother got one of them my uncle i shown him this he said they made 20 his is in a garage been there 14 year mad

😎👍🏻

Certainly a rare example probably too nice to use which is a shame.......nasty steering wheel tho Uncle Henry could of done better no different to a standard Mk 4 Escort bar the leather !

I own a rare car I have an original ftx outrage nitro rc car its a really rare rc car now it came out in 2009 and now 12 years later its a rare rc car to find and I've been doing so digging and looking for this rc car and now my luck as finally paid off I brought 1 last week off ebay for £176 and it came in its original box and I'm now the happiest man alive cos I now own one of the most rarest rc car cars on the planet

you can but dream...... [i think its overpriced, but u never know these days]

Need subtitles!

Mk6 steering wheel tho?

I was tinking it chood have a different one to old one must of been ruined or something

It’s a dealer special not a ford factory thing like

I always thought the rarest escort cosworth was the 1 of 1 factory painted yellow one.

@chiefrocka8604

There’s more than 1 yellow one, the yellow and silver on a escort cosworth were not popular

same livery as footwork arrows from 1994

Do all the cosworths in the country belong to jurdies

My escort had 42k on it. Interior was as mint as this. Sold it 4yrs ago for 12k. Smfh
