Ford Escort Alan Mann 68 Edition unveiled by Boreham Motorworks
Speed Demon Reborn: Boreham Motorworks' Alan Mann 68 Edition of the Ford Escort rocks racing world
Boreham Motorworks turns the clock back by unveiling the adrenaline-pumping Alan Mann 68 Edition, a stunning recreation of the iconic Mk1 Ford Escort. This beast is no ordinary ride - it's a spot-on replica of the original 'continuation' car that tore up the tracks in the '60s, engineered with surgical precision to the exact specifications of the Alan Mann Racing Escort that claimed the British Saloon Car Championships in 1968 and 1969.
This heart-racing beauty is the first gem in Boreham Motorworks' Ultra Series, a collection of vehicles born from painstaking reverse engineering using original production blueprints and cutting-edge technology. It's a true continuation of the legendary '60s Alan Mann Racing Escorts, flaunting chassis numbers that effortlessly slip into the lineage established by Ford and Alan Mann Racing.
A tantalizing glimpse of things to come, the Alan Mann 68 Edition Ford Escort shares body panel designs with the original '68 race car, featuring distinguished bubble arches. But don't let appearances fool you. While the soon-to-be-revealed Mk1 Ford Escort RS will be an enticing blend of nostalgia and modern technology, the Alan Mann 68 Edition is a no-holds-barred racing monster. Every component, from savvy lightweight construction to high-octane drivetrain and unique suspension, is designed with competition in mind.
Boreham Motorworks has maintained a tight rein on the manufacturing process, overseeing meticulous in-house creation to guarantee top-notch precision and quality. DRVN Advanced Engineering in Coventry has taken the lead in the initial CAD scanning and product development phases, leaving no stone unturned in scanning and digitally mapping each component for pinpoint accuracy. Post that, DRVN's workshop in Newton Aycliffe handles the body and paintwork for each vehicle, while Alan Mann Racing HQ in Chobham, Surrey completes the final assembly and dialing the car in for the racetrack. This tasty treat pays homage to the original Byfleet workshop where the very first Group 5 Escorts were once built.
Limited to just 24 exotic models, the Ford Escort Alan Mann 68 Edition will be offered in two specs: Period Correct or Modern Race. The Period Correct version runs true to FIA Group 5 regulations, while the Modern Race variant comes with an FIA Technical Passport, featuring modern safety features such as a full roll cage, FIA-approved seats, harnesses, and a plumbed-in fire extinguisher - making it eligible for racing globally. Ready to rev your engines? Prices start at around GBP 300,,000[1][2].
