Mk5 cortina rally car
I'm after any info on a ford rally car built at Boreham and raced by Julian Raymond/Guy Hodgson from 1980 ish on, reg was NHK244V.
As i say built at Boreham as a test bed and a possable replacement for the discontinued Mk2 escort, never did that well and was used as a marshal transport and recce car till being sold in 1987, unfortunatly thats all i know so any help would be great
.
cheers

Car was driven by Richard Illife on mainly Esso BTRDA rounds after Raymond had it but was also owned by a guy who did single venues in the Sth Yorks/Lincs area. Will dig out some photos at some point.
