Yeah.. 'cossie' on the plates, it's a Sierra Cosworth.. i had a chat with him a while back, err think he bought it off his boss who had imported it a few years back, it's got a nice leather interior and seems to be genuine... however i have heard that it's not real... someone said it wasn't awd which is weird, but i dunno... looks and goes good!!!!

Ok here is the goss... straight from the original importers' next door neighbours mouth...
The Cossie is real! ~ When he imported the 1992 Ford Sierra Cosworth, from the cossie factory it was released as one of the last RWD Cosworths... a series 2 (don't quote me on that) Obviously the car was built by Cosworth in Britian and in it's English road history has been rebuilt twice, with internal mods by Cosworth.
Running at 26 PSI, the Dyno sheet read a massive 420hp at the fly and 351 @ the wheels and can run up to 30PSI with no trouble.. It was detuned for Ozzi conditions...
The Guy i spoke to has been for a drive init (as he was going to buy it) and hit 265 Km/h and climbing, but ran out of road.... Impressive.
The only reason he bought the car was because it was a RWD, supposedly he's a bit of a crazy driver and has owned Porches and what not, so the next in line was a Cossie...
So yeah.. go figure a RWD, Cosworth... i'm going to do some searching and see what i can find!!! 
EDIT: found new info -----------------------------> Here
