XOO 355F was the first Escort to appear in a rally (1968 San Remo) and the Andersson/Davenport car for several 1968 events. Driven here by Davenport for a fun weekend, it apparently (says the voiceover) still had its Tulip Rally plates from previous outing (where it finished 2nd). Apparently still survives

... but after various adventures in 1969 - when used as a practice car for 1969 Acropolis rally, it was stolen and used in a bank robbery, then recovered afterwards and sold to a Greek driver - the info trail goes dead, so unclear if it is still the genuine thing; plate info suggests on display somewhere in UK, but nothing found.
