Eric Jackson

Eric Jackson,who used to rally Escorts ,Cortina's etc in the 60/70 set a record from London to Cape Town,which is 12,000 miles of 13 days 8 hours,and 48 minutes ,47 years ago in a Cortina.That record has JUST been broken by 3 guys in a landrover Discovery all these years later,and they had sat Nav,and all the latest gizmo's.
the older guys amongst you will remember Eric Jackson from his rally days,now 86 he was from Barnsley and had Polar Ford in his later years,
Think he traded earlier as Jacksons of Barnsley
