The British racing enthusiasts are well introduced to Jeff Uren. He was Ford rally team manager and enjoyed a successful racing career in saloon cars from 1955 to 1964. He also raced a GSM Delta in GT races.
He owns a company “Race Proved Performance and Racing Ltd.” – and is typically remembered for transforming Ford Cortinas into what was called “Savage” conversions. Uren was very talented and also worked with Ford Detroit and Willment. Uren converted combinations like Apache 3.0-Litre V6 Escort, Comanche V6 Capri, Capri powered by Mustang V8 engine and so on in 1960. But his most popular Savage conversion being Cortina 1600 E-MKII powered by Ford Zodiac V6 Essex engine. He did a tremendous job, he literally converted a mouse into a racing monster by installing a powerful engine and making numerous intricate changes to ensure good performance.
