In Spring 2003 Colin visited Dave Plant of DJM Race Preparation based in Newark.
“My brief was to build a car which looked like a Mk2 Escort. The red shell has developed into a very interesting machine. Colin has spent at least 200hrs working with myself and my engineers in developing this car. It is front-mid engined with a 2.5 Millington engine producing 310 bhp. The rear of the car has independent suspension, a 6 speed sequential gearbox and Colin is currently trying a paddle shift system. To reduce the weight of the car we have made everything possible in carbon. The car’s weight is approximately 900kgs. Colin drove the car at the recent Press Day for the Scottish Rally Championship and was very pleased with the car’s performance,” said Dave Plant.
