A pal had a very Hot blue one of these in the mid 80s, what a tool , very quick , it would smoke its tyres for ages and as for sideways......

Just found an advert for a white 1969 one from a 1973 Motor Mag. Any one recognise it and is that reg no on something else now ?

Great story Super Speed, such a shame it hasn't survived !

I'm pretty sure that the blue one I remember was registered OLA 11L, it had the very distinctive blue side flash .

Finally managed to make contact with my old pal and he's got some shots of his Superspeed !

Ha ha John ( Phil ) what a classic ( you And that photo ) I can see ( and hear ) that ruddy Escort in my minds eye, sitting outside my mums in Chingford and then that high speed blast up Chingford mount and round the Ridgeway, I still had my H1F 500 then !

Great story CGB.....111L my good pals old one sadly doesn't appear to have survived, we think it was stolen. I can still vividly recall being in the back behind P whilst J nailed it ! Very quick car back at the begining of the 1980s...

Hi cbg thanks re Hughendens, mad that that Superspeed was close by ! My pals blue one OLA 111L stayed only a short distance from Superspeeds place all of it's life it seems, until we think it was stolen.

Vanin what a great story ! To build a car like that and at such a young age was a real achievement !! I seem to recal that the Gilbern Invader used the engine and I drive box from the Zephyr / Zodiac ? Did you make the dash ? Never seen one like that in an Escort before ! Shame you stripped it.

Re your Dutton, in the early 1980s circa 1983, a dealer aquaintance in Chadwel Heath bought in a Dutton that had been fitted with a V6, the thing was very quick and aparently would swap ends !
