Was this engine swapped?

No 100% standard

Very nice! 🤩 You beautifully can see there that there also can be much action and fun at a rally with not much horsepower. I always say this. Naturally, there is also the factor of the slippery gravel road. Especially, when it's going downhill. 🙂

@SomeRandomName mate I understand, although he said induction kit but didn't state whether it is forced induction or just cold air intake. The Rotrex supercharger kit is widely available for this car.

@@jameslightfoot6315 hi James, well principally the footage at the start of the video in the Escort. I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with Russel and didn't realise that he had had several. Some pairings endure longer than others. I know I could look it up, but I find the comments section to be a mine of information, and can provide facts that aren't in the official records.

Class driver, hugely underrated. Russell and Jimmy had some battles over the years.

Russell was my favourite driver back in the day. Alway gave 100% commitment what ever he was driving. I saw him back in his MK2 escort days right up until he retired. Fondest memories were seeing driving the escort, Sierra cosworth and the Manta. In my opinion he should have been in the world rally championship in top machinery, but sadly the works team never picked him. A great talent, nice guy and sadly missed buy those who witnessed he's driving on the stages. I think Russell was like Nigel Mansel. A people's championship. I had the privilege of meeting him a few times out on rallies and would always have a quick chat to you. RIP Russell.
