Equipment
Ford Escort twin cam (1,998cc?) engine, 225hp dyno sheet, 5-speed, Lucas fuel injection, 8-spoke Minilite alloy wheels, 13-inch Dunlop tires, Sparco seats, old-style Halda Tripmaster, two dash-mounted stopwatches, Cibie lights, 6 on the front and 1 on the
Condition
FIA "original" hologram on the cowl, liveried for Timo Makinen and Henry Liddon, 1000 Lakes winners in this car. Well documented. Repainted, newer seats and belts but otherwise mostly original, rally used and appropriately grungy.
Market commentary
No one was doing much with World Rally Championship cars in the Paris auctions this year, surprising in view of period rally videos current Youtube popularity. This is a significant car with important driver histories and it rightly went hom with its consignor at the modest reported high bid.
