Great feature, but I must say that it is hardly surprising to find the Ford Sierra (on which the Merkur was based) donating its taillights to the RS200. I'm sure the European readership is befuddled.

Now I understand.
Excuse me while I enter the realm of introspection to contemplate the broad lattitudes of my weenie-ness.

Nearly as surprising was that the computer had "Ford" stamped on it.
At least it wasn't Renault.

Gee, I wonder why.

Aren't those tail lights from a Rover 200?
Fuck you! These are Jaguar XJ220 tail lamps.
Hey those look like the lights I had on my old 'rocco.
Go away. Just get out of here. These are Aston tail lights and you know it.

I wish I had one of those normal cars to sell. Put in the EBAY listing that I upgraded the taillights to use X supercar's lights.

Another example of FoMoCo borrowing from GM? The 1967 GT40 Mk. IV, the car that won Le Mans with Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt for the most Amerigasmic result in the race's long and storied history, got its taillights from the Chevy Corvair.

All just makes the world go around...
Never knew so many parts were shared between vehicles. But its quite interesting how many share the head and or tail lights.
Awkward for aerodynamics on the A.M v The Volvo wagon. Talk about a massive potato on a stick!
Might I add that the Rover is a slut from the Honda Accords.

Anyway, most of those "Super" cars are nothing more than glorified "Kit" cars anyway. The Noble? The Invicta? The SSC? I'd even put the Esprit in the "Kit" car category.

though sadly.. my eagle is just a mitsubishi mirage with a few pentastars added for "taste" (and yes.. it leaves a sour/bitter taste at the same time... until a brake line blows... then you get the burnt taste... and smell... and and and.. what was i sniffing.. can i have a new car please?)
