Mk1 Hart Ford Escort

You lucky sod Pete, for years we believed this car had been lost. I guess it was up in a barn rack hidden from prying eyes for the last forty years. The last time I remember it being raced in our series was with Woodsy in the early 70's, he could have driven it much quicker but he wore glasses and this brute of a machine use to make him feel quite sick and disoriented.
From what I can see in the images it looks to be the genuine Hart engine, oh so good!!
Have you images of the space-frame chassis, from what I can remember it was the first and only full space frame ever made in its day with the engine at the side of the driver, Woodsy was very fussy about that car and was always trying to shed the last ounce of weight off it.
