As far as I know Ford Cologne built one MkII Escort early in 1975 for Ludwig; Zakspeed built his own in the summer in 1975; this car was written off at Zandvoort. Zakspeed took over the "works" mkII, rebuilt the front with his own designs and this hybrid car took Heyer to the championship in 1975.
This car was used by Peter Hennige in 1976, as the third Zakspeed (black/castrol) entry. Both Heyer (black/castrol livery) and Ludwig (white/europamöbel) got new Zakspeed cars, which were indeed rebuilt into Group 5 cars for the first part in 1977.
