ExotronGammaPlusSequencer Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Had a visit from my mate Marc today so i thought id share some pics of his cossie powered mk1 mex Some of you may remember it from the era of BMX 11T & Jez thorntons rapid yellow mk2 mexico. It runs a normally aspirated cosworth using twin 50 webers,its got a 5 speed straight cut box,lsd,fully adjustable leda suspension,15" split rim compomotives & its now back on the road again after an engine rebuild,he blew the last one up on a track day at donington park! Its been owned by a few of my mate's over the year's & used to run a mental pinto,Marc virtually rebuilt the car since he's had it, also repainting the shell & converted it to cossie power. Im after a copy of Fast Car magazine which featured the mk1 at ultimate fast car 92 (think it was august 92?) mine has vanished so if anyone has a copy can they give me a shout

Chelsea ,back in the day Hate to say it again but those were the day's!! is that the old speed shack car No mate,there were a few similar ones about at the time.The guy that worked at super accesories had a similar one which had 205 gti wheels,cant remember what speed shack's looked like before it went pro street?

ExotronGammaPlusSequencer Posted March 18, 2006 Author Report Posted March 18, 2006 That was it mate,it had a small picture of it doing a burnout & the caption read something like "jim cornes immaculate mexico was also quick!" Give us a shout if you want to sell your copy............
