MKI Zakspeed Escort
This car was commissioned by a local car enthusiast to compete in the Masters 70’s Touring Car Championship. The car is featured in Retro Ford (Oct 2009) and they were very complimentary about it!!
“ If Zakspeed were to get all retrospective and start building replicas, I doubt that they would make cars as good as this one”
(Martyn, Retro Ford Oct 2009)
