anybody kno where it is now?
lil vid

 

Memeber of the Surrey RS onwer has it and sure he is on here !

 

just thought it might av been a ford loan car with the fmc plate

 

Car is alive & well the owner does not come on here often but is a regular member of the Surrey Club.

 

It's a nice one.

 

Was for sale a few years ago, supposed to be ex ford press car so better made apparently!! Had about 75,000 miles and a nice premium on iut due to some unfunny tossers name on the log book years ago!

 

lol i agree, i should av stated was more interested in the fmc plate, ex press car explains although not hard to get a private plate

 

i take it you dont like clarkson? or are you just jealous of his job

 

Was it the actual test car as seen on top gear??

as he said on the prog that ford were NOT having it back until they got him one lol..

and had it on the next week saying someone had scratched it.

dunno why i remember these things. lol but seeing it on that prog was what always made me want one!

 

I'm more surprised it didnt make it to the Ford Heritage Museum in Dagenham with a FMC plate, they do have a EsCos with FTW at the end

 

guy in Bristol RSOC has a blue esc cos with an FMC number plate too.
so there might be a few candidates for the museum lol

 

Well i meant press cars and that seeing as most there are either the first or last off the production line, or something special, still a great place just a shame they dont allow test drives lol

 

the ford press cars were always registered to ford motor company eagle way brentford essex.
i don't think fat afro man would have had his name n the docs unless he brassed ford up for it.
i used to work for a company that bought ford press and management cars,all ending in oo tw ar vw hk,the fmc plates came about after ford chucked a1fmc a2fmc etc on the rally cars. some press cars had fmc plates and one had "car 1" on it.
a neighbour had a k*fmc plate on her ex jackie stewart mondeo.

 

Ive seen the videos of his car on you tube.

 

theres an blue escort cossy with K20 FMC that works at ford garage in bolton

 

You seem to be a fountain of knowledge cosfather. How would i got about finding out about a car im thinking of buying on an early cplate 3 door if that was a press or demo car???

Cheers

Ian

 

thats my bros , st3v3_c `s car and its just a private plate still a nice motor (needs to be driven more tho steve )

 

FAO Lubby !!

There was a dept in ford motor co that dealt with the press stuff and the fella who ran it was pretty helpfull,i contacted them when i had a cozzeh that had a G** BOO plate as i remember seeing some press Cozzeh's with BOO plates.

so i would try that and the 5 nicker dvla enquiry which yealds info like former owners names and addresses via copys of previous logbooks they hold the info on and the supplying Ford Distributer,the total cost,the salesman's name and a few other things that the original registering paperwork held.
all the c plate 3dr's i ever saw were rally cars btw.

cheeRS.

 

Clarkson's old mallard escos is owned by Mark, a frequent visitor to both Middx and Surrey RSOC meet nights

I remember c 240 hvw was a standard white 3 dr.

 

I remember years back it was at a show beside my dads escos, in concourse and the guy was saying hed spent near on £20k just tidying the car up! It was mint of course. He had a pic on the dash of him shaking Clarksons hand as he had bought it. Think his name was John, was quite a big fella.

Did Clarkson only have 1 escos? Cos when growing up and reading a few of his interviews in magazines he mentioned in one that the rear spoiler was nicked off his escos and in another interview he claimed an old biddy had ran into the side of it and smashed it leaving a big repair bill!
