Ford Sierra Cosworth clocked by speed camera doing 104mph on 30mph street

A speed camera flashed a Sierra Cosworth doing more than 100mph on a 30mph street. The driver of the vintage sports car can expect a lengthy ban and a sizeable fine after they were clocked at a staggering 104mph on Albert Royds Street in Rochdale on Sunday afternoon.

GMP Traffic tweeted a picture of the white Cosworth alongside the message 'Words fail!'. Read more: M61 closed after serious crash with air ambulance at scene - traffic updates Being caught doing that kind of speed is classed as a 'Band C' offence - the most serious category.

In extreme cases drivers can face bans of up to 120 days and they'll need to reapply for their licence once the ban is up. Police also have the power to seize the car.

But the owner will be desperately hoping that doesn't happen, as last month a rare Sierra Cosworth sold for nearly £600,000 at auction.
