Airbags??? Will all the boxes ticked is it a Storm

 

Yeah - not quite sure what country it was meant to be for (Canada perhaps?) but as I say it does have airbags fitted - it's clearly one of the last off the production line being a late VR6 with so many options, though not sure if anyone managed to sneak a peak at the chassis number to confirm that.

It was built for the museum mate but mostly canadian spec...

 

Air bags, Knee Bars, Factory Air Con, light adjusters and washers but no ELRA.

 

Really hope someone like VW or Porsche take them over!

Its not an anything spec car as it does not have ELRA fitted. I believe the exact quote as to what is on it goes along the lines of 'we just fitted all the stuff we thought was cool'.

 

As for it being the last car off the line I have reason to believe it is not after some cryptic conversations with Chris Gaskell, it is near the end but probably not the last one.

You guys can bicker over the 16vG60 - I'll take the Escort Costworth with only 53km on the clock. And the absolutely factory fresh VR with just about every option ticked (factory aircon, leather, airbags, etc) :)

 

There was a cosworth there!!! stuff the rado then, i want the cosworth... was it in cadburys blue/purple?
