i remember following this car closely in my ETC Datsun B110 coupe a few times. It had just a wee bit too much grunt for my car!

Under Ken Sager's ownership the 'Fristcort' went into the Child Freighters Escort, seen here chasing Reg Cook

Then went to fellow Palmerstonian Mike Moore

Just a question- diagonal bar on roll cage runs differently, any ideas here?
Hmmm, did Moore have 2 Escorts? Sold the ex Frist one and this is the second? Just a thought. I remember the ex Frist car being Black under Moore's ownership.
Also different headlights/grill (this was easy upgrade) and remember black colour.
Its a curcuit car Peter. Can not understand why you would put the top of diagonal on left side when your head is on right. ?
Just picked up that nose spoilers are different and rear spoiler/wing is different. Also flares on white car 'external attached' (screwed on) not bog flared like yellow car.
Rod- you have sharp eyes, well spotted.
Wayne's were bog flared when first built
It would be great to get these cars back running again. I know this has been raised in another thread about Shell Sport cars...but just saying...
When I was a lot younger I do remember a MK2 Escort driven by someone McNamara (Menswear?). It did have on the back something like "Go easy on me - I'm only a 1600 pushrod..."
I wonder what happened to that car?
Mike Moore did have 2 Escorts. The ex Frist car, purchased from Ken Sager in April-ish 79, and the ex Steel Mk2. Therefore is the cage a modification? Maybe done at the same stage as cosmetic changes?

Growler- I have extended an invitation to the Shellsport cars that since they ran with Sports Sedans, they can run with Historic Sports Sedans 4 times a year.
Rod Grimwood has one and would like to run.

Never seen that one. I know it was a MK2 Escort and I think coloured dark blue...
Cant help thinking those pics should be other way around, looks like damage to RF rim of pic #1 might have happened in pic #2.
