We are talking about Twin Cams, not Mexicos

Yes I know, I was wrong.

I have this picture with the same registrations. I think mine is in the middle. I understand they used to change the registrations about!
The colour picture could be my car in the middle. Sunset Red on a Twin Cam is rare. There are cups on the roof. Was it successful in a rallye ? Where could the picture have been taken ?

I think the middle is not your twincam, if I remember correctly has the same registration (FA-40-45) on the right (blue and white) and the left is the FA-40-46.
I think they belong to Team Fiaal.
These cups were won from 72 to 74 in some competitions such as the rali cidade de silves and Rali TAP.
I think this photo was taken at the stand of FIAAL in Faro in 1974.

OK so you say the black and white photo is not mine in the middle?
But the colour one with the red Escort ? Could that be mine?

Hi, I dont think so, the number plate is FA-40-45 and your`s is FA-40-44, but the photo in colors taken in the stand we can not see exactly the number plate, the photos were taken at 74 in Algarve, do you knows where was your escort registered at the time, in Porto, Lisboa or Algarve?

On the previous page there is a list of all the owners.
In 1974 it was
Manuel Alves Freitas e C Santo Il de fonso 10/04/1973 to 04/03/1975
In the black and white photo two cars have the same number. I was told that they were changed sometimes !! So maybe it could be mine in the middle with the wrong number ?
