I absolutely love these fabulous photos of Mk 1 Escorts. Probably my all time favourite race car.Originally Posted by nigel watts
My son had one in Sydney about 5 years ago. It was only a 1300, but it sold to a guy in Ireland. Apparently there is a world wide shortage of decent Escort bodies.
For interest have a look at this one from the UK

Here is something from the "If Only" Department. "Motoring News" July 4 1974.

Auckland Car Club Summer Series Round 2 is at Pukekohe Saturday October 13, Historic Sports Sedans and Invited Allcomers will be running there as our Oct 28 meeting has been cancelled.
John,
Can we ask why that meeting has been cancelled?

Allan-I was told that there werent enough classes to have the event proceed.
Entries not looking too hot for this Saturday at Pukekohe either. Largest field as at last night was about 11 or 12 cars.
Yes Ray, not a good sign at all.
Last year we had 23 entries and so far as of Monday 10....
Overall ERC series registrations as at today - 77.
I suspect, that as usual, there will be a flurry of last minute entries - and no doubt, late entries.
No idea why drivers leave it so late as it is a real frustration for meeting organisers, who have a small mountain of work to do.
TACCOC are offering the lowest entry fees of the season and at Puke, without the neck devices being compulsory, we can only assume that the classic fraternity is now shrinking and not growing.
Sorry Nigel...
Yes this is a serious good deal for entry fees.
With us quite a few away overseas and yes the usual breakages.
Yes shrinking but also being selective as well....
Sorry for the organising team and Nigel etc who support the groups.
See you Saturday,
Cheers
Historic Sports Sedans and Invited Allcomers would have loved to also take advantage of the low entry fee, but we missed the cut for this meeting.
Nigel...will you be at Puke Sat 13th or are you doing HD both days?
Hi John,
No I'm giving both events a miss this year. I pretty much stopped going to Pukekohe when they erected the fences and concrete barriers etc and I find endurance racing a bit boring from a spectating point of view - so I'll spend some time in my garden instead!
Another reason that may account for a few missing entries - It's Bathurst weekend!!! I mean who in their right mind has a race meeting on Bathurst meeting?? 51 other weekends to choose from............
