No lost track of it now, it no longer appears on the DVLA site as being registered so I presume it is no longer with us. I now use a Subaru Impreza STI Prodrive as my main car, but have a 1500 gt mk 1 Cortina and a mk 1 shell prepared by Prefab which I am in the process of Building when time allows. I will put a few photos on later.
A few photos of my last RS2000.I rescued it from a breakers looking very sorry for itself. After fitting a new roof doors nosecone etc it was finally back on the road. I kept it and used it daily for about thirteen years and finally sold it on to Ian Harwood about eightyears ago.
A few pics of my first rally Escort after moving on from Minis. I used it for a few years in the 70's then sold it on. I know it had the BDA unit replaced with a V8 and it was then used for sand racing. The car was originally used by Mike Pattison for Motoring News events and was later dismantled and the parts sold of, as a start for his EARS business,I acquired the shell and rebuilt it. I know the car is still registered but who owns it now??
