1968 Ford Escort Mk1 Twin Cam Gardner

The 1968 BRSCC British Saloon Car Championship was the eleventh season of the series. The Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association (RACMSA) took control of the championship this year from the BRSCC. Australian driver Frank Gardner successfully defended his 1967 title, changing from a Ford Falcon to contest Class C, initially with a Ford Cortina Lotus until the new Ford Escort was introduced. Gardner won 9 out of 11 races in his class C.  Gardner had a remarkable career in sports car and Formula racing. He was a member of the team which won Le Mans in 1959, and took part in nine World championship Grand Prix in F1 in 1964-68.
