Ford Escort MK1 History

Hi My name is Reuben .. I have been a fan of motorsport for many years and have built and Raced many a rally car and track car back in the day .. predominantly in Africa ..

I am seeking information on a Ford Escort MK1 Rally car Mal Clark purchased back in the 1970's Approx. 1973/1975.. I have a photo of the car back in the day but it has the incorrect number plate fitted to it .. I am looking for the Original rego number it had back from 1970. Also who he purchased it from .. he is fuzzy on where or whom he got it from.
he says it was Blue with a gold stripe on it back in the day.??

Reuben, Hi and welcome to the group.
That photo is by Ross Cammick as noted - he is BMC BOY on this forum, and may have more photo's of the car.
Photo from a Pall Mall Rally looking at the windscreen sticker - Ross may have more photo too !!
Mal Clark - just recently retired from his business " Bygone Auto's " - his good mate Mark Parsons may know more - I will pass your request onto Mark [ I knew Mark and Mal from the 1970's in Northern Sports Car Club ]..am still in touch with Mark ..
- PM me your Email address .

Cheers

Roger
