Thanks for that Bob. Yes it does sound a little like they wanted you Anglia guys to switch to the current Escort just a little doesn't it, or at least it seems they wanted the Escort to be the faster car. So perhaps that was motivation to switch. Though to their credit MANZ did make some good decisions when they introduced Group 5 for the 1968 season. The FIA regs required the models competing could be no more than 5 years old, in an effort to keep the cars current, but MANZ changed this to 10 years for NZ. Not that it would have affected the Anglia though, I think that was built until around 1967?
