Bijzonderheden
By 1964 a young man from Leicester called Roger Clark was starting to make a name for himself in the rally world while driving a white Ford Cortina Mk1 GT he had prepared at his family’s Ford dealership. The car carried the number plate 2ANR, which had originally been on Clark’s Mini Cooper. After winning the Scottish rally in 1964, the basically standard white bodyshell was starting to literally fall apart and the by then well-known young man was able to secure a full-strength ‘works’ bodyshell in red. This was built up using many of the parts from the white 2ANR and so retained its registration number. The car modelled here is the red 2ANR as it was when Clark and his regular co-driver, Jim Porter, won the 1965 Scottish Rally. Three weeks later he used the same car to win the Gulf London Rally and his career as an aspiring private entrant was over. Roger Clark, Jim Porter and 2ANR had done enough to be given full works status. Limited Edition 2.370 pcs. (with certificate)
