Block's Gymkhana Fiesta for sale
Get your GoPro charged for a chance to own Ken Block's Gymkhana Fiesta, most definitely raced and rallied
Earlier this week we reported back on rally team M-Sport's reasonably priced package of upgrades for the Fiesta ST .

. If your pockets are a little deeper and can stretch to, ooh, at least 10 times the asking price for the souped-up ST M-Sport can build you something a little spicier.Ken Block's pockets are obviously deeper than most and the car for sale here is one he had built for him by M-Sport for rallycross, stage rallying and also filming detail for his famous Gymkhana videos. According to the ad on the Motorsport Auctions website (beware, plenty of other distractions there to be had) this car has been used for all three, including Block's victory in the New Zealand Rally Championship class of the Rally of Whangarei last year.

The car is fitted with a Pipo Motors built 2.0-litre engine rather than the conventional WRC-spec 1.6, giving 350hp in stage rally tune with 34mm restrictor and 600hp and 664lb ft with 45mm restrictor for rallycross and general tyre slaying hoonery. The basic spec is as per M-Sport'swith ultra long travel Reiger dampers, super quick steering with just one and a half turns lock to lock and - in this case - uprated Sadev Rallycross transmission.

Does the Block provenance justify the £250,000 price, given the same site is advertising an ex-Liam Doranfor 'just' 150,000 euros? The ad certainly seems to think so -if you agree!
