Hi,
I do know that Vince raced the Mustang in the UK as it held the touring car lap record at Thruxton. As far as I know it still does. The car was built late 82 early 83.
Correct, the Spa event was mainly down to J-M Martin.
The engine issue was quite a big issue at the time from what I remember. I know that Zakspeed were dealing with Asch but the engines from what I can remember initially came via the UK for some reason. I am also sure that Klaus von Barby who was at Ford was involved somewhere.
I haven't seen Dave Cook for nearly 20 years. He was a director of the BTCC for ages. I see John 2 or 3 times year. Normally at Goodwood or the Autosport Show.
This brings back some great memories.
