More FF action from the same event.
Does anyone know whose Escort this is? This car intrigues me. There was a MkI Escort built in the Wairarapa by Wayne Fuller, initially with an FVA motor from the Paul Fahey Alan Mann car, then it had a small block Chevy with cross ram intake fitted. Graham Berry did the fabrication work. It went like stink in a straight line but the handling was never fully sorted. It only ran for one season with the Chevy under Fullers ownership, with Masterton car dealer Roger Brader at the wheel. Then it was sold.
Its always fascinated me, and I wonder what happened to it. The car pictured here looks a lot like it, only with a new paint job. It was later raced by John Scott.
