![]() ![]() Nice alloys ![]() .. different from the usual boyracer Minilites We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided FORD ESCORT SUPER Registration number: RNV 782G Body type: Saloon Colour: Yellow And Blue Date of first registration: October 1968 Cylinder capacity 1993 cc .. so probably upgraded to RS 2000-like spec. But looks like normal-for-68 body, not the strengthened Type 48 shell for race/rally use and Twin Cams etc. Probably a total coincidence, but plate is very similar to BEV 782G, a works Twin Cam built for 1969 Monte, later winning the 1969 Scottish and Welsh rallies with Roger Clark stirring the petrol. Mikkola wrote it off in a big crash on the 1969 RAC, during the Dalby Forest stage on North York Moors. -- Last edit: 2023-08-27 02:32:42 |
