The latest team confirmed for the HMC/HSC 2017 South Island Tour. This beautiful MkI Escort was originally built and raced by Ross and Jimmy Stone (of later Stone Brothers Racing V8 Supercar fame), in the 0 - 1,300cc class in the NZ Saloon Car Championship during the early 1970s.
Several years later it became a front runner in the ShellSport series, raced by Roy Harrington in the guise its now presented and raced by current owner David Thompson.
