Mk1 Race car

[Neil Fletcher]

I should have mentioned it from the


1970 Guards Motor Show 200 Trophy, Brands Hatch


Thanks

My own Twin Cam Car No 24 raced in that race and from entry lists and results that I have I can tell you that Car No 26 is the "Gerry Edmonds Racing" Mk1 Escort driven by Lawrie Hickman.


Hope this helps, Neil.

I only have a link between the Green and black car and the Timex car! see link below.

The SDF reg is only from the note on the picture (you have seen) HPI came back with nothing on that reg. But I'm also, have a more detailed searched performed by some of her majasty's best.


I have found the Timex colours and stripes on the the car, also the Black and green underneath (all in the correct places) with exception of Bonnet.

Help is very much appreciated.

I think I have exhaused every resource I have to this point

I called the guy today, but was not at work. Will try again Monday

Happy to send pictures of paint areas removed.

Another Picture of Bo with the Timex Car

[Neil Fletcher]

No he wasn't entered in that race - I see the mistake that you are making, the mention of Bo Emanuelsson does not actually refer to that photo you have posted but really refers to the photo that would have been below that one, the next in the series - see the date 1973.

Hope this helps, Neil.

Neil is correct it is Lawrie Hickman.

Here is another picture of the car.
As you can see there are lots of similarities in the paint scheme, but this & the black & green car are two different cars.
Wheels, front spoiler, roll cage are all different.

I have lots of slides with Mk1 racecars on them, but if your car did not race in the UK I will not have any pictures.

It make it much clearer when you can look at a good quality picture.
Thanks
James

I think there was another UK race he got a DNF in it. I will check the dates and get back to you, maybe you will have a Pic.

[Mexicomark]

From the link you posted James, it looks like the photos of both cars could do with studying a little closer.

If you can find out who took the pictures then you may be able to get original prints.
Far easier if the pictures appeared in a magazine, as there will usually be an archive somewhere.

After doing a little more digging Bo Emanuelsson did ten races in Ford Escorts.
He only raced twice in the UK both times at Silverstone, but no mention of the car used. As he also raced a Rover Vitesse, BMW 320i & a Capri. So it could have been in one of those cars.


The info will probably be in one of the links.

Swedish race car

Well after much research, it turns out this is one on the Swedish TIMEX race team cars. Probily the first one, It was bought from Flemming Rasmussen in Denmark (who i beleive was the first owner in 1968) it turns up in several DK races with Flemming driving before he did some damage requireing a new roof. In 1969, It was then bought and raced by Bo EMMA Emanuealsson In BRM Twincam and BDA livery, before being sold to Anders Waerner, who continued to race it for the Timex race team up until about 1973, with BDA and Twincam motors. I cannot (yet) find any record until it turned up in Stocholm in 1992. The car was instrumental in winning the 1972 Swedish Stock Car Championship, won by Bo. 2nd In 1973.

If anyone has contact information fro Andres Waerner or Flemming Rasmussen please contact me.

Under the White and Blue Timex colours, I found the Green and Black from the eariler design.
