They were - apart from the 24v Cosworth. When I did a driving course in the early 90s we used 827 Rovers. The instructors in the chase cars always had the Granada. Basically because when we maxxed out the 827, and they decided the "follow" was over, they could pull alongside ..... match our speed ..... give us a swap signal and basically leave us. They had an indicated 165 out of it.

It was pretty much the same thing when I did the bike course. The students were on K75 BMWs and the instructors on Pan Europeans. We'd max them out and the instructor would come alongside, give directions then fall back, or give a follow me signal and be off ....
