He liked my work on TCST :)

He is looking for a Twin Cam Escort.

Going back to the Escort rally cars origins! Then he should get or restore an Escort RS1600 (where the BDA made its debut!).

Rally prepared Mk 1 Escorts are now worth heaps. £60k+

The cars that win (Fiesta R2s) are worth around £250k so I am told.
