danposs86 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e128/pye21/Escort-XJ220-Tyndall-Combe-4-05-199.jpg Anyone know more about this? The name of the image is: Escort-XJ220-Tyndall-Combe-4-05-199.jpg Need more photos!!! Found more info: "Last but by no mean least(expensive) Derek Tyndall's "Escat" Escort with XK220 turbo engine - I used to rally against "Dangerous Derek" (far left in lower picture)who had a chain of camera shops and ran TR8s, then a 6R4 which he also raced on the Combe GT series. He had a Siilk Cut Jaguar XJR11 in his workshop at one time which explains the choice of engine for the Escort. The car was very wild but very fragile so it spent a great deal of time looking much like this at each event!His mechanic and rallying co-driver Dave 'Motty" Motterham (right on lower picture) now works at our local tyre fitters and still co-drives on the Wyedean stages each year." http://www.simonlewis.com/images/Escort-XJ220-Tyndall-Combe-4-05-1993b.JPG Raced in about 1993.
