This Car Used To Compete Regularly For The Escort Car Club Of NZ, It Still Holds Class Lap Records With Them 7 Years After Leaving The Club. Since Then It Has Gotten Much Faster. For An Example One Of The Last Times I Competed Seriously In This Car Was A Weekend At Taupo Circuit With The Fiat Lancia Club And I Won Outright Against Some Very Serious Machinery, With A Best Laptime Of 42.8 seconds Around Taupo Circuit. That Is Very Fast In Any Class.
