The engine was fully rebuilt by Fourtrack Engineering of Llanrwst in 1987 at 78,599 miles and it has only covered 16,900 miles since.

The rebuild incorporated some choice upgrades including bored out to 1660cc; Vandervell high strength bearings; reground crank; Piper HR270 camshaft, cam followers and valve springs; gas-flowed head to Escort Mexico spec.

Other work in the late 1980s/early 1990s included: exchange Ford Escort GT close-ratio gearbox; new brakes and Spax adjustable suspension...
