Pace car

[BartFRS]

Thought some of you will like this car.
I had the first picture send to me a good while ago and did some searching for more pics or even video's.
It was used as a Pace/Officials car during the ‘Beru Top 10' back in 2004.
The Beru Top 10 was a race event from 1996 - 2007 with several different classes ( Puma Cup, Fiesta ST Cup, Renault Clio Cup and even single seaters).

The car is now ‘hidden' at the Ford Museum in Cologne, Germany.
This picture is at Cologne, between 2 M-Sport WRC Promo cars:

These 2 pictures are ‘in action' shots:

Great photos Bart. Any idea on build number?

[BartFRS]

Got no idea, my mate who send me these pictures wasn't allowed to go closer to the cars so couldn't check number or VIN.
Maybe a PP car, who knows?

[DanT404]

Very cool, pictures are good quality too! Would be great to get the build/vin number and see if Clayton can tie it into the build list maybe.

Great pictures Bart and Mick and thanks for sharing.

I sure would be interested to know the vin number and if it has a build number but suspect this could be an actual Pre-producction car. (PP plaque)

Got to be the only one with a sunroof

[RSclassics]

Cool find is this pace car. Wondering how they deal with the sunroof of this car. Might be a PP as stated before.
