This is chassis number 2 of just 24 Alan Mann 68 Edition continuation cars, a new-build Mk1 Escort based on the Group 5 touring car that won the 1968 British Touring Car Championship. DRVN Advanced Engineering laser-scanned the original works car, XOO 349F, to create the bodyshell data. Alan Mann Racing assembles each car at Chobham, Surrey, under an officially licensed Ford programme.
The specification is period-correct competition. A 1.8-litre Twin Cam with twin Weber 45DCOE carburettors makes about 205PS, and drives the rear wheels through a four-speed straight-cut "Bullet" gearbox. Weight is under 800kg. Suspension is the Group 5 layout with sliding-joint MacPherson struts and a Watts-linked rear axle, and there are no electronic aids or power steering.
The car is brand new and unused, with delivery mileage only. It is built for circuit use and has no road registration. It is eligible for historic racing, subject to individual series regulations. Ownership includes access to the Boreham High Performance Club. Price is on application.

The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Alan Mann-built Mk1 Escort continuation; layout only. Couldn't confirm published Alan Mann figures for power, weight, performance or build number, so these are left null.).
