Hezemans Escort

Could you perhaps tell me who on earth now owns a Hezemans escort?

So my question how can it be alive and kicking again??

(btw. I always thought there might be a second car built, but until now I couldn't 'prove' it, could it be this is the car you're talking about?)

Let us know, I'm sure we're all just as keen to know..
The gentleman who owned the car in Trinidad & Tobago would be Frankie Boodram, a true Ford fanatic. I used to run his race team in the early to mid 90s and he had an Escort (a.k.a. The Wild Geese) with alloy cage where the original pipes to the side radiators had run through the cage. At last alteration this was fitted with a Cosworth YB (NA) from Hurricane Racing in Holland.

There was indeed a second car which had visited TnT (The Shotgun) but had apparently returned to Europe. Frankie's car was rebodied with an altered Sierra silhouette which crashed. The original panels should still be somewhere in one of his warehouses in storage. I have a fantasy of reshelling the bits and even building some panels from carbon fibre and kevlar.

Out of curiosity Frankie also has two working GAA engines. I'm sure he could be persuaded to part with either for the right price.
