Epic aint it? Don't think I'll ever put a YB in mine though. Too expensive to buy now.

Nice pics there, that mk1 escort looks great.

JC600

Caddyshack

Agreed. The mk1 looks the nuts

tbtstt

It's a beautifully prepared car. I've seen it a few times before and always think it looks too good to be used for rallycross!

Ford Escort Mk. 1 (77) (Steve Volders) by Steve White, on Flickr

Caddyshack

Yes, lovely. What engine does it run?

I must get along to watch this, Trevor Reeves used to teach me on track days and he won the work champs back in the day.

Adder

lovely mate

gjh

The mk1 does look almost too good to use.

tbtstt

Turbo'd Duratec if I remember rightly.

The Escort runs in the Belgium Championship, so chances are it won't be back in the UK again this year. There is another British round of the Championship at Lydden in August, and the World Championship is there next month!

tbtstt

Forgive the double post, but a trio of Escort Cossies on track at Brands last weekend:

gjh

Not a ford but thought i'd share

Caddyshack

Thanks, I will try to get along and take my daughter to get another generation hooked.

Caddyshack

Wtf was invented for this

gjh

Eh??????

gcfcos

My old smoker

gjh

Loud and lairy, I like it!

gcfcos

U can't miss it in a car park lol

gjh

Ha ye I bet!

Caddyshack

What I mean is, what the fuck is that. Wtf. How could a petrol turbo work well in a heavy 4x4 agricultural vehicle? The diesel unit that was put in it would have been far better suited so why do it....so the saying 'wtf' as in what the fuck....was invented for this. Do you get it now?

gjh

Ye I get it, guess its cause they could? This one seems to work alright

My work van after bank holiday weekend










And one of before

cypressbill

bet that thing flies

fordzgray

Haha not at all unfortunately. I'm getting a brand new company van in 2 weeks so I'm going to do something with this as it's really not worth anything to sell so hopefully be a little faster probably zetec it but not sure yet has been a good old van though so would be a shame to scrap it

Then in the dealers this picture was taken in 1987 there is a dealer mark up Ł20500 ,list price was Ł19995, not too greedy .

Funny how 29 years ago can seem like a century. By then Anglia's and 100E's were already approaching 30 years + and RS2000's were just a few hundred squids.

Great pics...wish someone could invent a time machine

tbtstt

Few Fords spotted at the third and fourth rounds of the World Rallycross Championship...

Vacuman

Lost to the Paris flooding a couple of weeks back

Vacuman

Where can I get one of these for my Escort?
