In 1978/79 Boreham were looking to replace the Escort rally car, the Gr2 Fiesta was born, PNO 613R was first used as a practice car for the 79 Monty but didn’t start the rally. Both Roger Clark DHJ500T and Ari Vatenan performed well finishing top finishers in Gp2. It soon became apparent that the Fiesta  would make a great class winning car but not a Group 4 Escort beater. Roger Clark was assigned two cars DHJ and PNO for the British championship in 1979, with mixed fortunes. PNO was later sold on and used by Tim Brise, sporting a BDA engine finally.
