As one of the most successful rally drivers ever, Colin McRae needs no introduction – and now you could own a car he raced several times in the World Rally Championship.
The Ford Focus WRC driven by the late Scottish racer and co-driver Nicky Grist in four rounds of the 1999 WRC is being offered for sale next month by Silverstone Auctions in its Race Retro Competition Car Sale.
McRae and Grist first drove the Focus WRC, Chassis #68335, in the Rallye Catalunya, but didn't finish. Next time out, however, they took it to fourth in France's Tour de Course.
The pair raced in #68335 twice more – at the Rally Acropolis and Rally China – and it was also used by their teammate Thomas Rådström for the New Zealand and Australia legs and by Petter Solberg for two races in the 2000 championship.
The car will be presented in plain white livery when it goes on sale
In all the car was raced in 11 legs of the WRC across 1999 and 2000, before being sold to a private team. The vendor bought it in 2007 and has since entered it in a variety of events across the UK and Europe, including the Rallye National de la Lys in France last year.
