cheers dave numbers needs a wash though! I keep on top of it through summer, usually washing it once a week or after a rideout but I've been so busy/lazy this winter, I've not bothered.

I thought it was a mk1 but I the info plate just said "1981 Ford Escort RS 1800" with a brief description but nowt about which mark it was. And yes it was ari vatenen, the tour guide - propa nice fella - mentioned ari had taken it for a razz at one their display days.

And sinbad, yeah it's a bit of a trek from our end = 291 miles from the museum to york in around 4 + 1/2 hours. We stopped at marwell zoo on the saturday for a few hours, stopped in a premier in (Southampton North) with some nice food and a couple of beers, then had a nice easy day at beaulieu... Defo worth an overnighter to take the stress/rush out of your trip
