I absolutely love these fabulous photos of Mk 1 Escorts. Probably my all time favourite race car.
My son had one in Sydney about 5 years ago. It was only a 1300, but it sold to a guy in Ireland. Apparently there is a world wide shortage of decent Escort bodies.
For interest have a look at this one from the UK

Here is something from the "If Only" Department. "Motoring News" July 4 1974.

Entries not looking too hot for this Saturday at Pukekohe either. Largest field as at last night was about 11 or 12 cars.

Yes Ray, not a good sign at all.
Last year we had 23 entries and so far as of Monday 10....

Overall ERC series registrations as at today - 77.
I suspect, that as usual, there will be a flurry of last minute entries - and no doubt, late entries.
No idea why drivers leave it so late as it is a real frustration for meeting organisers, who have a small mountain of work to do.
TACCOC are offering the lowest entry fees of the season and at Puke, without the neck devices being compulsory, we can only assume that the classic fraternity is now shrinking and not growing.
Sorry Nigel...

Yes this is a serious good deal for entry fees.
With us quite a few away overseas and yes the usual breakages.
Yes shrinking but also being selective as well....
Sorry for the organising team and Nigel etc who support the groups.
See you Saturday,
Cheers
