The twin-cam rally car was an RS1800 Twin Cam. A close friend of
mine has one. It finished 2d in class, 4th overall in the 71 or 72
East Africa Safari rally. It is currently in storage waiting for
time and money to be restored. (not a 4 valve motor)

He also has an Escort Mexico converted to RS2000 specs..would be a
great vintage racer if I can convince him to spend the $$$.
