The focus STI is owned by a chap called Andy Barker I think, he built it himself and it has been featured in car and car conversions . Its a rapid piece of kit ,I've seen it a few times at single venue rallies in the north west .

Anyone remember that Alfa Ferrari ?, got some pictures of it rallying in the late 80's.

That was a nice car.

The Alfa Ferriari was run by Andy Burton, stunning car, excellently enginneered (by a farmer!)

His current car is even more wild, a 4wd Peugeot 306 with ice racing panels, a DTM touring car V6 cosworth and much modded 6R4 running gear. Lots of details here. Includes mention of the Alfa Ferrari in the history page and the "Early Days" photo gallery.
