After glorious years in Toyota Team Europe, in 1993 Carlos Sainz dispute an extremely unlucky world rally season in Lancia.
Already during the summer I was commissioned for a 1994 key study for a possible Sainz-Repsol livery on a Ford Escort Cosworth. The request was "unofficial", but comes from the classic mutual friends/friends/friends network and my work takes soon the road to Boreham, but first passing through Juan Petisco's work table. The former co-driver of Antonio Zanini, as well former Sporting Director of General Motors, Jolly Club Spain, MRT, Citroën and many other famous rally teams, was manager of Carlos Sainz in those years. El matador, however, will sign with Subaru for the following 1994/1995 seasons.

A few years pass since this my own secret preview. Only at the end of 1995 the Sainz/Ford agreement seems mature and the first "official" photos of the Repsol-Escort for the 1996 World Rally Championship begin to circulate.
Officially, the final livery is no longer my signature. But I like to think I have somehow influenced the choice for the final livery.
