Hi All,

Thanks,
Errol

HI Brian

Guess it would be best to check with the dvla to find out which my car came from. Do you know of anyboady that might have the image of the original dealer stickers for either.

Thanks,
Errol

Hi Dave,

Thanks. No problem working with that. Were all dealer stickers about the same size. My dads car still has the original Donegal one and it looks smaller?

With all the tarmac Escort development and knowledge base in Ireland these days, it may be worth remembering how rare and difficult it once was, north or south. I recall talking to an Eire crew (husband and wife) in a 1300GT on the RAC Rally (72?) who recounted having had to travel all the way to Lisburn from the far south to look at Shaun Maloney's car to understand how rear turrets were fitted.
Lindsay Cars was on Maloney's Escort then.

Folks here is the sticker Lindsay's used on RS cars in 1980>>>>>
