Well done guys. I did multi stage rallying back in the early 1980’s with my brother in a Ford Escort Mk2 GP 4 so I’m as jealous to death of you all. As we used to say “make em ave it”
I grew in the small town of Hinckley in the 70's, at the time the place had one claim to fame. Roger Clark, the man who put the Mk1 & 2 Escort on the rally world stage. Funnily enough his day job was selling Renault's! I remember catching a glimpse once of a works Mk1 tucked in among the Reanult 4's and 6's.
Your right Paul, if an Escort can't do 100 stage miles in this day and age without dicking about with it it's a bad job.

Think Roger started rallying as a driver in a Dauphine.
He then had an early mini then a Mk 1 Cortina GT.
Clarks became ford RS dealers .
…and he was a Porsche dealer in Narborough, Roger Clark Cars!
