What's a Group One sumpguard?
We all used the Gartrac "works" type guard (except for the different rear mounting bar to accommodate a Pinto engine).
Guards were free in all Groups.

Not "Group 1" though, just a "Ford" guard.

It may be worth mentioning also that the part of the original Ford "Escort Rally Preparation" book that refers to Group 1 was something written by Henry Inurietta in very early days and bears no relation whatsoever to the definitive spec RS2s used in Group 1 from 1976 onward. (that's official homologated spec of course...what actually fell off or got added to Group 1 cars between pre-event and post-event scrutineering is another story entirely...!).
That RS catalogue also refers to the Gp1 Atlas as the "Narrow Atlas". All this "Baby Atlas" stuff we now see is a term created by aftermarket suppliers many years later and was never Ford terminology.
