My new Escort, picking it up on the weekend. RS1600i engine with port and polished head, twin 40 webber down drafts and full janspeed manifold and exhaust.

 

thats nice, very nice!!!!!!!

 

love that its abit diffrent

 

very nice, love the wheels and arches

 

wasnt this up some like £6 or 7k? about 3 years ago

 

summer just gone i think

 

liking that mate, if you get chance (if you haven't already) pop it on www.seriesoneturbo.co.uk they are all crazy for the mk3 escort and would love a gander at this!

 

looks great..

puts me in mind of a sunbeam from some angles with the minilites and arches..

 

That is one clean Mk3! i like that alot and loving the interior, but for some reason it reminds me of a load of drift volvo 340's that are near me, might be the shape of those arches?

 

feel free to post a link

 

v clean, but looks rwd like the gartrac ones!

 

very clean but isnt it on twin coils and have the rs16i cam cover

 

Thats stunning mate!!!!

 

looks very clean but i think it would of looked better with broadspeed arch's & bigger wheels imo

 

thats mint seen it at castle combe

 

I was thinking the same. Thats not an RS1600i engine. Fantstic looking car though

 

Thats simply fantastic! love it mate, your a lucky chap

 

Stunning

 

I absolutely LOVE that !!!!

 

as above was this not for sale for a few grand a year or so ago??

 

stunning looking car now just take out the grinder cut a big hole down the middle and hang a big bouncy atlas out of its arse

 

perhaps they got rid of the cails due to unreliability like so many rs1600 owners did. It may have also had the rocker cover sold. whats the differences between the engines. i know they have a higher lift cam and solid lifters. twin colils and a smooth inlet manifold and exhaust over axle. what else makes them perform better?

if ou phone oldskool engineering who did the bodywork .... they said they put in 50/60 hours to fabricate the archs and then with the full paint job in and out would be about 4k .... then the interior is one off , its had some money spent....

how much did you pay???? and if you sell it pm me first lol this with bigger engine would be the nuts

 

Wicked mate ! simple awesome. love it.

 

you lucky lucky boy.. wow

 

looks awesome that does!

 

Thats absolutley stunning

 

I had it for a fair price, sold my XR3i to buy this. I'm going to keep it and enjoy it, had the last car for 6yrs.

 

that is awsome love it any more pics

 

simply stunning.

 

cool as fook !

 

those seats are gorgeous

 

WOW....It looks mint...

Good color, nice rims, awesome bodywork ....

I love it ! ! !...

 

wow allready loved the mk3 but when i see this i want one

 

very nice would love it my self looks realy nice

 

makes me want to take my missus rs1600i shell to old skool engineering for some of them archs

 

i absolutely love this car

 

It's defo an RS1600i engine, it doesn't have twin coils because it's running on carbs. The reason it doesn't have the cam cover is because the oil breather is in the centre and would be obstructed by the carbs.

 

Love that!!
