A couple of new additions to the Historic Saloon Cars ranks. Firstly, David Thompson Jnr, with his beautiful Ford Escort RS1600. This car actually has an amazing New Zealand history, being one of only a handful of genuine RS1600's sold new in NZ. It was raced by none other than Frank Radisich, in factory guise without the forest flares, in the Castrol GTX series. It then spent many years as a rally car.
David Thompson Jnr has done a beautiful job restoring the car. Incidentally, his father owns the famous Stone Brothers MkI Escort that contested the BNSW series, before going on to live a successful career with Roy Harrington in the ShellSport series in the 1980s.
