Built originally for Gary Midwinter in 1993, Mark II Motorsports Escort RS Cosworth has a fine pedigree. Campaigned by Gary in the Motoring News Tarmac Rally championship, the car was sold to Dave Jenkins who promptly won the Wyedean Rally in 1996.

The car was then owned by Paul Shelmerdine who won 2 more events in the car before it was sold to a trader. It was acquired by Westbury based Ford Dealership proprietor Peter Elkins who set about completely refurbishing and upgrading the car to its current spec. Peter owned the car for over 5 years winning amongst other things the Tempest Rallysprint.

In 2007 when Peter bought Stephen Hendy’s Escort WRC, Mark II Motorsport became proud owners of this fantastic machine.
