Competition Cars Of all the major manufacturers of mass-produced cars, Ford holds a unique position in the scope of its factory spon-sored competition and the countless successes it can number. The story starts with the competitive-ness of Henry Ford himself before the fiat war and is taken through the inter-war years with the Fronty Fords, Sydney Allard, the Jabberwock Model As and Indianapolis. It emerges in 1943 with rally and racing successes of the V8 Pilots, the Mk.I Zephyrs, the 100Es and even the Consul. Soon the Ford Anglia makes its mark followed by the- Mk.I Cortina, the GT and the Lotus. The story diverges into the GT40 story at Le Mans and the Lotus Ford Indianapolis entries and then continues with the Mk.II Cortina and the Escort. Boreham is born, Cologne soon springs up with tremendous success for the Escort and the Capri. Formula Ford is discussed and good account is given of the Cos-worth-Ford relationship and the production of the incredibly successful Grand Prix VS Formula I engine, the DFV. Ford's Competition Cars is about the inner workings of the organisation. Its beginning activities, successes and fail-ures and branches and personalities are well covered. The exciting story is pieced together of the 'works' Fords giving relevant competition successes and an insight into Ford 'confidential' material. In this, the second edition, the story is brought right up-to-date with the con-tinuing successes of the rally Escorts in the early '80s, the unfulfilled RS1700 project and the developing popularity of Formula Ford. Also chronicled are the further successes for the Keith Duckworth projects, the Zakspeed con-nection with the Cologne Canris...
