Is this the World’s Fastest Camper Van? Cosworth Ford Escort Mk1 (literal) Sleeper. In this special Van Life episode Jonny Smith meets Daryl Fletcher from Nottingham, who has rescued and modified his classic mk1 Escort Nimbus camper into a Cosworth YB engined sleeper. It sleeps 4 people (at a push!) and packs 340bhp beneath the bonnet.

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

Thanks to Adrian Flux Insurance for covering Jonny to drive the Escort sleeper with all mods declared.
