Default What might have been in 1980 - Frank Gardner run Ford Dealer Team

Hadn't heard of this before, but apparently Frank Gardner was set to head a factory Ford Dealer Team for the 1980 season.

Edsel Ford II was behind the concept, with Jim Richards and Colin Bond earmarked as the drivers; before it was ultimately knocked on the head by the then managing director Brian Inglis.

Further details here:

Interesting Moffat wasn't mentioned though.
