Surely the wrong colour .I remember it being a very dull unglamouras brown.A hasty last minute colour scheme as the original sponsors pulled out with days to go.(can’t.remember who) but was amazed to see the car at Bramham park ? As I appeared on front page of motoring news sat on a fence as he hung the back end out and nearly took 20 pairs of legs off being a frosty morning with brilliant sunshine in the drivers face.
To answer myself, I'd say the Honda K20 is probably the next best soundtrack for a 4 cylinder to my ears, as I saw a Mk2 escort with a K20 fitted at goodwood recently and the noise was epic, the owner did say its upto 270ish HP, perfect swap for the old escort 🇬🇧🇯🇵
Omg! what a beautiful Mk 1, (I wish I’d kept mine back in 1973 now..)
By far the best sounding four banger ever.
Nice! Although I had to tip my tablet on edge so that the Escort was going sideways in the proper manner. 😁
To quote JC " I may need to visit the bathroom...."

Yes I've got pictures of it at Sutton Park too. The brown was nearly a dark chocolate brown.. Superb memories of long gone RACs.
Wow every nice
