Born, and brought home from the hospital (no seat belt (wtf)) in a baby!

Elan starts at 22:17.
I met Gordon on a train into London one morning. Charming guy, put up with me badgering him for half an hour. Was kind enough to sign my notebook.

The only Ford of that era that I never had but wanted, ideally the Escort TwinCam versus all the other models because I loved the Lotus engine back then.
I tried to swap my S2 Elan for an Escort TwinCam but never did get the deal done and I am still on the hunt for an LHD MK1 Escort roller on this side of the pond...yes, good luck with that, I know.
Then I get my hands on a bent and bewildered S2000, swap a few bits and off we go.

It must be a good feeling to walk into Cosworth off the street and say, 'I am Gordon Walker and want an ultimate Escort...'
The car was actually built by Retropower. It was a long process and I followed the build and process over the years and the final video we all wanted never happened until just now.

A distinguished astrophysicist - probably no relation to Gordon Murray
