Re: Who here has ever see/owned a MK escort twin cam?

Hi all - first post. I've had two twin-cams. The first I bought new when they were first released. Two came to WA and I had the choice of Burnt Orange or Metallic Dark Green. I chose the orange. I bought it to rally and had quite a bit of success until I wrote it off in a rally in 1974 (with quite a bit of damage to me too). A few years later I bought a second-hand maroon one and used it as a daily driver for 10 years until I sold it.
Brilliant cars. Fantastic power and balance and highly competitive (in those days) straight off the showroom floor.
Prior to the twin-cam I rallied an XR GT Falcon (!) and before that a genuine GT500 Cortina. I've had some nice Fords in the past and only wish I still owned them as I'd be a richer man.
