Description
Red Sunday World signs on the bonnet and boot, Benson & Hedges “Circuit 75” plates on the doors and a white-and-blue body: IXO's 1:43 Escort RS1600 is the #2 Billy Coleman and Paul Phelan drove to win the 1975 Circuit of Ireland.
Ford sent three works Escorts that Easter. When Roger Clark and Nigel Rockey both retired, Coleman took the lead and held it for his first international win, on his own country's premier rally.
For anyone who followed Irish rallying or collects Coleman's Escorts, this is the car that began his run of three Circuit wins.
