Is Tony Mannock turbosystems? I remember seeing he had some pretty impressive cosworths back in the day! My escort is running 8 injectors and a Collins chip. It has been off the road since 2007.

Looks like they put it back together well enough anyway!!

...looked more like a scale model of an Escos during construction the last time I saw it minus its bent/twisted front and rear ends after the accident.


Cheers,

Weird. I'm sure I know it too - and almost sure it wasn't white either. What previous plate did the car have?

Looks good though
