When I first arrived in England in Oct. 1972 I went to the first race meet I could which was at Oulton Park in Cheshire. As I had been an Escort owner in NZ I was especially interested in the "Broadspeed Team " and wandered into their paddock area to inquire about possible employment but they wisely turned me away which led me next to the F2 McLaren Team lads and they were much more encouraging. I recently saw this photo and it brought back memories.
Grant Sprague, this one is for you.
1972 Escort at Watkins Glen. 2013.
"This Escort RS1600 MK-1 was built in 1971-1972 in England by ex-Broadspeed mechanic Carl 'Tivy' Shenton while he was managing Spec Fab at Pershors in Worcestershire, England, and includes an Atlas, six-link rear axle, a ZF five-speed, four-wheel disc brakes and Broadspeed fender flares."
