Mike Bell’s Escort

[andy97]

I thought there was thread on this car but can’t find it now, sorry. Mods, please merge if you can.
There was some talk about Nick Whale (the new owner of Mike’s “Lairy canary” Escort) having it rebuilt recently, even though most of us thought it was in excellent condition. Well, I discovered in the last couple of days that (from FB) “@nick.whale - Competed in his freshly built Mk1 Escort in Rally Mallorca, finishing 1st in class and 5th overall!”
Nick Whale has confirmed to my query that it is the same car and “It is still a Group 2 race car which we use for both racing and rallying now. We are keeping his memory going!”
I hope Mike would approve.
