Agreed Zef. There are quite a few modern Mustangs about now.
The appeal of Escorts in rallying now is that there is still a very good support and spares network, inc kits for upgrades, and crucially, they are very light.
The rules in rallying encourage it. Why would anyone rally a 250 bhp 1100 kg car when theycan rally a 250 bhp 850 kg one.
