Holt’s new toy

Ian Holt and Steve Pugh had a debut run in Holt’s newly built Group 4 Ford Escort Mk2 on the Malton Forest Rally. The Lancashire driver has had the immaculate historic car built by Dave Jenkins but was struck by an electrical problem which was traced to the ignition switch. Despite the problem, they set some encouraging times in the Yorkshire stages as Holt got used to the BDG-powered car.
