I think Alan has this correct - Jim had his escort in 1973 (probably the 1.3) and this was then developed into the Orange Turbo escort which was a pinto 2.0L turbocharged. In 1975 it became white and further developed- in 1976 the same car was heavily modified with a removable front and the engine moved well back. All this was with the Turbo Pinto and the association with AET turbos who are still very much involved in motorsport. Sold to Jimmy Robertson at the end of 1976 and the Skoda was built for the start of 1977
