Last I saw of the Escort Graham Hawke was fitting a 2 litre Ford. Owner was John Walmsley? From Brighton. Peter must have had it after.
The Corrolla was from Whyalla and my senile brain cannot think of the drivers name. Dave Olsen? I thought it had an FVA in it? Serge Deluca was detailing the differences Saturday but I forget what they are.
Dave Meaker raced it in the late 90s with I think a turbo 3t engine?The pics in white are when Dave raced it. Dave has retired to racing shopping cars now,,, Magnas!

Those two cars have had a few conversions.

No. The Stillwell Escort was a very quick car in its day, developed with eventually a BDA and it played in the big time as a Touring Car and later Sports Sedan.Is that Escort one that John English originally owned and raced?
The pic with Graham Ritter, it may be the same car but it only has a rollbar not the full cage it had later.
Remember we are dealing with a car that came from a very major Ford Dealer. Stillwell Ford.
