British Rally Champion
In 1968 Roger Clark rallied the car that he was most associated with, the Ford Escort Mk1 RS and was part of the works rally team until 1979, Clark and co driver Porter won the British Rally Championship titles driving Escorts in 1972, 1973 and 1975
Roger Clark’s most notable successes came on the RAC Rally in 1972 with legendary co-driver Tony Mason
AN ICON IS BORN
LVX 942J
1974 RAC RALLY VICTORY
The famous LVX942J MK1 RS1600 is probably the most famous of the Mk1 rally cars of the era, car number 4 on the 1974 RAC Rally driven by Roger Clark and co-pilot Tony Mason. Their victory on the ’74 RAC rally was very significant as they became the first British crew to win the event after it moved on to forest special stages
