looked to me like a 6r4 conversion done to a rover 100 shell as it had rover 100 front/rear lights and it also looks a strange shape compared to the real 6r4 in photo number 1
i liked the 520bhp rallycross mk3 escort which is not in the pictures
should have taken an umbrella

That's because it was too fast for my camera (or me)
We (well my sister did) bought an umbrella down there, luckily I'd remembered a jacket

think it's a Tony Pond Racing TPR4100 - basically an early 90's version of the 6R4, built to the same principles, but not by Rover.
There's a few around, but nowhere near 200 were made, so a lot less common than the Factory built 6R4.
