www.silverstoneauctions.com 151 + buyer’s premium of 15% including VAT @ 20% Cars Sunday 10th November 2019 • Twin Cam rally car built and supplied new by Ford’s Boreham Motorsport factory • Specified by first owner to road rally specification incorporating genuine Ford Works Motorsport equipment • Retained by first owner for initial ten years, subsequently off the road since 1984 • Superb bare shell restoration in 2012 by Kerry Sealey, the registrar of the Mk1 RS Owners Club This fabulous Twin Cam was built by Fords Boreham Motorsport Department and was commissioned by the first owner to works Stage Rally-specification whilst remaining compliant with Night Stage regulations. Consequently, this immaculate Twin Cam benefits from many genuine Ford period competition parts. We believe the first owner continued to enjoy LPE 2K for some 10 years before passing it on to the next custodian. During 2011/12, after a long period in storage, the car was entrusted to Kerry Sealey, RS guru and Registrar of the Mk1 RS Owners Club, to carry out a total restoration before he, in turn, sold it in 2013 to our vendor who’s description of the restoration follows; “The front wings and front panel were the only panels replaced, using genuine Ford new old stock or re-plated originals. The shell had a full bare metal respray. NOS parts include headlights, indicators, bumpers, bonnet pins, washer bottle, wing mirror, rear lights, interior mirror, reversing light and wipers. The front suspension, brake discs, rear leaf springs and callipers were fully rebuilt, and the front struts and rear shocks are Bilstein. The rear shocks are in turrets. The rear axle is fully rebuilt and has a brand new 4.1 diff. The gearbox is a brand new Quaife supplied 2000E box with a long first and straight cut gears. The engine is a ‘Works’ Siamese 1,800cc block Twin Cam built by Terry Dolphin, one of the best guys in the country. It’s been converted to ‘big-wing’ wet sump with a steel crankshaft, steel con-rods, forged pistons, lightweight flywheel, competition paddle clutch, steel cam- followers, valve spring caps, cam sprockets and 45 DCOE carburettors. The ‘works’ front seats have been fully rebuilt, the car has a period single roll-over hoop, it has its original metal Avanti map light and the dash is a Boreham-built split dash complete with Halda and stopwatches, and all the original stickered switches on the console. The only thing I added to the car was a Simpson two-box exhaust system and modern Minilite copies (the original steel wheels will accompany the car)”. Finished in vibrant Sebring Red with a period-correct, black vinyl interior, this stunning Escort is a testament to its exacting restoration by a man who really understands these cars. Freshly MOT’d, with an indicated mileage of 47,439, this is an excellent example of one of the most evocative rally cars of a generation and we welcome any inspection.
