I was watching the history of the Ford Escort the other day and in one of the rallies there was a marina coupe. Was that a works team or an individual entry.

The yellow car was AOH XXX K, this was a Special Tuning entered (works) car and sponsored by Dunlop. They used it to test Dunlop run flat tyres on rallies. Brian Culcheth drove it on several internationals. It was written off around 1975.
