Trevor langfield been in touch, its got a thread on rodsnsods.co.uk under history archive Thanks for great comments guys, I havnt stopped smiling since I bought it! Will be putting a build thread on here & rns, were taking our first proper look at it tomorrow Danny

Found bit more history on it today guy called Tim Hines raced it in 80's it was yellow then, often racing against Steve green in hi mk1cortina in finals! Mad! then it was raced by Trevor langfield was blue then, raced like this in 90's, then was raced by mike szekely until series ended, (think I spelt names right!) I am looking at possibly making it road legal, gotta see what's involved first!

What a month ive had after some T**T wrote off my mk1 cortina wagon been totally depressed, then last week heard whisper about mk1 escort with a v8 may be for sale, well went to look at it in week, bought it & picked it up yesterday. made some enquiries on its history it turns out its a famous car that used to race in the real steel rover v8 championship in the early 90's, finished 2nd in 95 , 4th & 5th in previuos years,it started drag racing in 82!its running a race rv8 with 2 stage nitrous etc,will run 10.5 sec 1/4 all day long! to say im happy would be nowhere near!! been sat in garage for approx 10 yrs going for full rebuild on it,cant wait!! Djstaffy
