I had a 1.3 pushrod. Took it to @suckindiesel house to pick up a mate and his dad popped out of the house to see it, heard it running and asked me if it was diesel

friend of mine had a RS turbo diesel replica, one of the old escorts or fiesta, something like that. full replica from the outside but was diesel, parked it in Belfast.
it got broke into and they started it and then heard it was a diesel, got out of it and left it ticking over lol.
Similar story with my derv escort estate someone punched the lock on the drivers door but never even tried to touch the steering column cover. It only had the Ford radio in it too and you could open the boot with anything so I’ve no idea why they broke into it no tools in the boot either.

The attempt at harrier was poor, was just a black mk5 with gold stripe and a boot spoiler wasn't it?Wasn’t it a ‘Harrier’? It met an abrupt end that one

Nope. They’re not OEM. They came with RS 14inch wheels like these. I quite liked them lol

Any I remember back in the day had those trims, I always thought they were random as they didn't even have a ford badge! Were the alloys were maybe an option?
Can't6 find any old adverts anywhere for them, but they are the trims I remember and images show that one and a rotten one with them.
Hardly important in the grand scheme of things
The MK5b harrier was even more pants

That's what I remember too dude, there weren't many of them around. Remember an older guy whose family always had nice Fords getting one and thankfully put MK4 XR3i alloys on it

Yes I’m almost certain they came with the same wheels as above.
