This car was MK2 Escort built as far as i know from a new shell and registered as above,it raced in the Clare stages rally in 1988 sponsored by Wurth and Lyons of limerick/nenagh.
Anyone have a pic or know what happened to it,was it a Dynorod sponsored car at some stage too?It had five owners and was last taxed in June 1992.

Wonder how much of the original car is left!

Seems Lyons of Limerick built it and used their own personal chassis number on it.Wonder how the shell was brand new and was only built in 1987/88.Must have been in storage somewhere.
