Yes this is the 'Toms Rattenbury' Red Escort that has been in NZ since Christmas 1985, where it had finished in the BTCC with Alan Curnow driving in DATAPOST livery, No 66. Its the same car that campained along side Richard Longman's Series 1 RS Turbo (No44). After 3 years hunting for the car it came back into the UK July this year. I have returned the car back to Richard Longman and met Alan Curnow, who both confirmed its originality. I am the 4 owner, I met all three owners in NZ and have a comprehensive file of its history in NZ. The car came with its race log book and all its FIA papers. Obviously I will be returning it back to original BTCC spec.
