Although the RS1700T didn't make it there were plenty of rwd mk3 Escorts built - the Gartrac G3 being the obvious example. We very nearly ended up with one of these instead of our current Mk2 but ultimately the availibity of panels for the Mk2 won the day. I'm not sure how close in design the RS1700T and G3 were? Obviously both rwd with longitudinal engines but how close did the G3 get to the group B car in overall design?
