cheers for the link, such a shame Colin's not around anymore :(

Gutting I know , guessing the 22b is parked in his garage now .

The 22b there is one of three prototypes eh, wonder who has the other 2?? and how much they would cost on the market, a 22b is costly enough as it is! Is a shame, bloody nice bloke.

shame didnt see more about the red mk2 lurking in the background. supposed to be a bit of a weapon. excelent find tho 8-)

Such a waste of a life. Genuinely seems a nice guy too.

Nicky Grist got one and I think Dave Richards or Dave Lapworth got the third one? I believe all three were numbered #000, I'm sure I recall seeing Nicky Grist's 22B being up for sale a while ago.

That video is the tip of the iceberg with regards to McRae's collection of wheels. There was a sample of McRae's garage at the Goodwood: FOS the year after he passed away, the man had some top toys. All carbon fibre GSX-R 1000...

Ill take the R4! :drive:

serious toys!!! definetly new how to have fun!!:10:

I'd love a nice mk11 escort , rather expensive now though. Remember seeing loads them in the 80s :???:

The Duke "Colin McRae Story" DVD features an extended section on that Escort. Its a bloody brilliant DVD. :doubleup:

There were standalone DVD's of footage of his Mk.II Escort and Metro 6R4, I think I have a copy of the Escort one at home somewhere: will have to look later!

wow that escort really flys cool car cool driver too . rip
