His Capri is a stunner as well.

Plus he owns the only red factory 3dr cosworth ever made.

I recall the Capri was sold to J.D.Classics a couple of years ago.It was a lovely car though.

[Braintax]

You're right, the Capri was sold off to J.D - that's the reason why this Escort was built

[aeropilot]

Lovely........and running pukka Lucas or Kugelfisher injection as well

Sad about his condition now, post stroke

[Braintax]

Ah yes, I couldn't confirm which system it is exactly but it sure is intriguing to look at.

It is sad, strokes are a terrible, terrible thing.

Does anyone know if the Escort is the ex Nick Stag car?

[Braintax]

That's right, Vince purchased the car from Nick Stag

A very underrated driver, by some, but by god was he good in tin tops.

He is also a very warm funny man. He gave a talk at the Bristol Pegasus Motor club and it was one of the best evening I have spent. Up there with Barry "Whizzo" Williams.
