An ex-works Ford Escort rally car is to be auctioned by Historics at Brooklands on Saturday December 4th. Developed by Ford's Boreham Competition Department in 1968, the rally-spec Escort Twin Cam with the bulbous wheelarch extensions has an interesting history. It made its racing debut in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1969 at the hands of current FIA President, Jean Todt, who finished in fourth place.
