EUW 938V represents an iconic piece of rallying history, embodying the pinnacle of the Rothmans Escort program and the talent of legendary drivers like Ari Vatanen, Pentti Airikkala and co-drivers like David Richards. In terms of Rothmans Escorts, its success across multiple championships, its preservation and its original Gartrac shell are unparalleled. And what’s more, it is something you could keep at home and use without trouble – two pumps on the throttle and hit the start button! Built by Dave Sutton Cars for the Rothmans Rally Team program, specifically for Ari Vatanen, Ford's works driver (and subsequent World Rally Champion, four-time Dakar Rally winner, and Pikes Peak winner). 1980 British Rally Championship winner. 1983 German Rally Championship winner with Walter Smolej. Museum-Quality Preservation: Without doubt one of the most original works Ford Escorts in existence. The most successful Rothmans Escort of them all. 1980 (British Championship Winner) (Ari Vatanen and David Richards): Mintex Rally: 2nd overall Circuit of Ireland: 2nd overall Welsh Rally: 1st overall Scottish Rally: 2nd overall C S Rally: 2nd overall Manx Rally: 2nd overall British Championship Winner 1981 Maspalomas Rally (Vatanen/Richards): 2nd overall Welsh Rally (Vatanen/Richards): 1st overall Manx Rally (Airikkala/Virtanen): DNF Corrte Ingles Rally (Airikkala/Virtanen): 7th overall Tenerife Rally (Airikkala/Virtanen): DNF 1983 (German Championship Winner) (Walter Smolej in the German Championship): Rallye ADAC Westfalen – Lippe-Fahrt: 1st overall Rallye ADAC Saarland: 4th overall Rallye ADAC Deutschland: 3rd overall Rallye ADAC Drei Städte: 3rd overall The car is not only a multiple rally-winning and multiple championship-winner machine but also an important piece of Ford and motorsport history. So often the hard life of a rally car means much of its originality is lost over time, but EUW 938V offers that incredibly rare opportunity to own a genuine and original survivor.
