Schanche Escorts

Am sure Ed or someone can answer this one.

Some kind sould has uploaded a few videos from 95/97 onto youtube and am getting a little confused about Martin's green Escorts.

Now I know the 95 title winnign car went to Ludvig who then won the title with it.

But, the later shape Schanche car was the one using the clever gearbox and stuff.

Now, did he build two of these particualr shape cars,a slightly newer body shell shape as I recall?

Coz in the 96 Lyngas round he is in one car, then 97 it looks like a differnet car as Jan Arthur Iversen is also in a Glomma Papp car that looks very much like a Schanche built one, maybe even the 96 car? Martin is still using his car with the massive rear wing, presumably Jan's car is the one bought by John Moloney?

And later still there is a video from Lydden in 97 where Martin is "debuting" a new car in a sort of test run, presumably after picking it up from the UK on the way back from Norway?

So, 95... wins title after building in 93, using anoterh in 94, sold to Ludvig, all same car?

96 builds new one with concentric driveshafts etc. Sells to the Iversens maybe?

97 another new one, perhaps this is the one that went to Kuypers when Martin moved to Opel?
