1.19.1 is a time?? Do you mean 79.10 seconds?? A road going Mitsubishi has done a 64.83! A locatafield was even quicker, although it may have been in race trim.
This was the record holder below before my time, that 64.83 was on the short course? I am talking production stuff only.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTuqXPSRa60

TorqueR, what's Chesterfield like for car events? Currently up here every weekend and may be moving up shortly.
There is nothing too interesting with regards to car events/meets but we are close to places such as Chatsworth & Hardwick Hall which often have car club meets and such like. I am happy to be proven wrong but I believe that supercardriver (SCD) is based in/around Chesterfield. Hope that helps and I will keep an eye out for your car at the weekend.Edited by TorqueR on Monday 2nd May 22:36
Lovely yellow Mk2 Escort at M54 Jct 4 (Telford) services today.
Not sure which exact version though I think it had the black '1600 Sport' decals, and a set of front spot lights.
Very cool!
Small world - turns out this used to be owned by the (female) project manager in my office
Wonder if the current owner is in here..

I didn't see the reg, it went past me so I only really got a side view of it.This is a post from social media...

This is roughly what it looked like, though in truth I can't recall if it had a black roof or the black rear spoiler. Was definitely yellow, 1600 Sport, with a full set of spot lamps.
I don't use Facebook but if you're in contact with the owner of the stolen one it may be worth letting him know of a potential spot, I'm sure the services has CCTV as it drove right past the front entrance.
It's a long shot, but I guess they're pretty rare cars especially in that spec, so with a shot?

Thanks for the reply, I'll send the owners a message.This is roughly what it looked like, though in truth I can't recall if it had a black roof or the black rear spoiler. Was definitely yellow, 1600 Sport, with a full set of spot lamps.
