Years ago there was a Group N 3-door Cossie which Kenny Colbert had something to do with getting a car for a driver I think had a cancer at the time in the 90's
The car was White with Blue Striping, not sure if it was an ex Frank Fennell car or not
Could this be the same one?

Noel Conlon was the driver. Year was 1993....

Noel Conlon was the driver. Year was 1993....

He was supposed to do it in a Peugeot 205 RWD but blew the engine I think and would'nt have it ready for the Circuit.
The car he used was the ex Kevin Barrett / Frank Fennell 3 dr Cossie that originally was used by Austin MacHale on the 1988 RAC with none other than James O Brien co-driving.

what ever became of this car that I have fond memories of.?

 

[escort outlaw]

Shes a stunner, I would say 3 dr sierra shells will soon be very sought after maybe like mk2 s who knows. Sorry to gate crash the thread but does anyone know where I would get 2 new front wings for a 3 dr sierra. The ones on E Bay in England are collection only.
