I "owned" one for a couple of hours once. December, after midnight, below freezing, in rural Oxfordshire. The driver and legal owner was the winner of that year's Classic F3 Two-litre Championship and in the front passenger seat was the winner of the Classic F3 1600cc Championship. I was in the back having just bought a 1600cc car with which to compete the next year.
Roads were very quiet and suddenly also was the Sierra. Dark too, as in no lights, no engine, no instruments, nothing electrical. We drifted to a halt by the side of the road and learned there were no tools in the car, nor a torch (flashlight), nor any reflective warning triangle to put out as a warning to traffic.
Very luckily the next car to come along was a police patrol who emphasised that being unlit on that road at night was not a sensible idea. So the two policemen and the three of us pushed it as far off the road as we could. Now then, who is a member of a recovery service? I was the only one, so I called them out to rescue "my" car and return us to Cambridgeshire, where we lived quite close together.
It wasn't the Cosworth part of the car that let us down but everything else was plain ordinary Ford 😡

·This was the best car YouTube video I've seen in a long time.
Always been fascinated with the CLR and knew most of this already but going deep into the details was just excellent

never mentions the drivers had to take a breathalyzer after crashing. Public roads.
