The bottom pic is the typhoon, which dave morrison bought off tom, and had it for a number of years, it ran a twincam in it, then dave fitted a 2litre ohc ford engine in it, I remember tw starting it behind a tractor across a paddock at daves maungati farm.we used to drive it around daves oval asphalt drive way that went around his house.steve donaldson from chch now owns it, amongst his collection.i dont think it has been on track for a few years, but when I last caught up with steve, it is all there ready to run.

Brilliant, thanks Sean. Any other known history on this car? These MkI Escorts seem to have done the rounds with various owners.
