Help needed with Broadspeed photo's.
Good afternoon all.
I am trying to gather photographs of the "Esso Uniflo" Broadspeed GP2 Escorts raced in 1974, in particular the 1300cc BDH powered cars as I am just starting a build and need some photos to replicate the livery as close as possible to the original cars. I have found 2 photo's from elswhere on this site but would be very grateful for any others people may have. Many thanks John Guernsey |

Hi John, the best pics of the Broadspeed 1300BDH cars I have seen for detail are in Robson's 'Ford in Touring Car Racing'. There is one of Vince W from r/h front quarter and a smaller of Gillian F-T's car from l/h front quarter. Vince's car is in the Uniflo livery. Both are black & white and none from the rear. Come to think of it don't often get shots from behind car, unless in paddock!
The pic of Vince appears again in 'British Touring Car Racing in Camera', also by Graham Robson.

Thank you for the info guys, I think the cars were Ermine white, I'm not sure about the Blue however? (Gentian). I need to know if the engine bay and interior was satin black or body colour and I could do with a close up of the side of a 1300 car to try and replicate the stickers/livery.
Clip Motorsport, great shots. Do you have the original pics I could buy copies of? Regards John. |

John, I think that you may get more response from the History forum, so I'll move it there leaving the redirect in.

Johan, sometimes I think you must spend far too much time looking for photos!
 Love the first shot

  There is a guy who used to work for Broadspeed back in the days who had those B/W photos. I did borrow them from his webalbum but I did not save the webaddress  He lives in the US these days (what I can remember).

Fantastic info guys, most helpful indeed.
 It certainly looks like the engine bay is satin black, I did wonder. The colour photo's have confirmed most of my sticker list, now I need to get some made. Regards John. |
