Does that car have the 4 cylinder cosworth engine?

Very pleased about this, though it must be said the driver is seriously skilled.

Nope, it's a full house R250k plus Cosworth BDA series motor as raced back in the day.
The car went back to Chevron in the UK to be rebuilt with no-expenses spared and is probably the best Chevron B19 in the world.

Couple pics from back in the day, John Love driving.
Does anyone know what laptimes this car achieved at Killarney in period? I only have record that the Brian Redman Ferrari held the Sportscar record at the time at 1'11.6" in 1972.

I heard it called a BDG.

quote, for interest
Cosworth solidified its association with Ford in 1969, by developing a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine for road use in the Ford Escort. As Keith Duckworth was busy designing and developing the DFV, the project was assigned to Mike Hall, who created the 1601 cc BDA on the Kent block for homologation purposes. The camshafts were driven by a toothed belt developed for Fiat 124, hence the name BDA, literally meaning "Belt Drive, A type". It was designed for FIA Group 2 and Group 4 on either rallying or touring car racing purpose. The nominal homologation at 1601 cc capacity meant that BDA-engined cars competed in what was usually the top class (1600 cc and up) so were eligible for overall victories rather than class wins.
In 1970, the 1701 cc BDB was created for the Escort RS1600, and this engine received fuel injection for the first time in the series as 1701 cc BDC. Two years later, the BDA series was adopted for Formula 2; first came the 1790 cc BDE, then the 1927 cc BDF eventually reaching a maximum of 1975 cc BDG in 1973. As the bore size reached ever closer to the bore center distance, leaving little space in between cylinders, the all three types had brazed-in cylinder liners to the block. As a departure from the Ford iron block, the BDG received a newly designed aluminium block soon after, and this cylinder block was used as a replacement part in rebuilding many other BD series engines as well as some Mk.XIII engines.
