Dear Friends,

I come to You, again, in the sequence of the extraordinary results obtained with the Corolla Levin (see http://rallybase.motorsportforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113267), to ask for Your help.

As You know I am a modeller in 1/43 scale on the theme Portugal Rally (From TAP Rally 1967 to 2001 and WRC 2007).

I’m starting a series of Ford Escort RS 1600 and RS 2000, having taken part in the above events from the sixties and seventies, and I would profoundly appreciate if You could provide me with Images and information of Your historical databases to support the construction of my models.

As I have seen with the Corolla Levin, no one has better information than You about historical Rallying and Your help will be priceless.

From the Rally Base records I collected these examples but I know there is more:

1973 – TAP Rally of Portugal

Nº 23 Francisco Santos / João Anjos – RS 1600 Gr.2
Nº 30 Tony Fowkes / Peter O’Gorman – RS 1600 Gr.2
Nº 32 Douglas Harris / John Jeson – RS 1600 Gr.2
Nº 83 Andy Michailidis / N. Anstis – RS 1600 Gr.2

1974 – TAP Rally of Portugal

Nº 12 Chris Sclater / Neil Wilson – RS 1600 Gr.2 9th overall
Nº 34 Chris Waten / Tim Bosence – RS 1600 Gr.2 14th overall

1975 – Rally of Portugal Oporto Wine

Nº 42 Fernando Lezama / Javier Arnaiz RS 1600 Gr.2 9th overall

1976 - Rally of Portugal Oporto Wine

Nº 10 Keith Billows / Martin Holmes RS 2000 Gr.2
Nº 21 Giovanni Salvi / Pedro de Almeida RS 2000 Gr.1 7th overall

1977 - Rally of Portugal Oporto Wine

Nº 30 Giovanni Salvi / Pedro de Almeida RS 2000 Gr.1 8th overall

I have few photos from some of these cars but I’m counting on You to complete the necessary, from these and others from the period starting at 1967.

As You know the models are strictly for my private amateur collection, and, as I’ve did with the Levin, I will share with You, on the forum, photos of the finished models whenever each is completed.

Thank You very much in advance.

Best Regards.

Sorry I can’t help with your request, I’m more a casual observer than an avid fan so don’t know “everything” about the sport. But what you are doing does sound very interesting, do you build the models from scratch?

Hello Kev2012,

I do build some of my models from scratch in resin with silicone molds.

The decals are vectorised and printed in decal paper.

This will be the case for these Escorts.

Thank You for Your coment.

Best Regards.
