Hello,

I am trying to locate a Red ford escort cosworth Cabriolet my dad used to own when I was a kid. The only thing I have is a magazine feature it was featured in. Back in the 90s and still to this day it would be a car that stands out.

I have done all the reg checks etc and the car is sorn not insured but the last log book was issued 05 dec 2011.

The car was unique car back in the day and I cant find any information on the car on forums google etc...

I'll post the picture I have and hopefully someone can help.

Thanks again

 

I remember having the mag with it in, wasn't it rear wheel drive?

 

Yeah RWD yb cossie.

I have got some more pictures somewhere of it when it was getting rebuilt.

 

I'd try searching on here, i'm sure I've seen threads before mentioning it.

 

Wow be great if you can find it. I'm sure I remember reading about this car years ago

 

That will be tucked away somewhere I doubt it'd have been scrapped unless its been crashed I remember reading the mag with it in.
​​​​​​Was it not a Gartrac conversion with their wide arch panels too.

I am sure that I saw that at a Ford show at Silverstone a few yrs back

 

Is it an original escos chopped up or a normal escort cab modified ?

 

Was reading about this recently in a early 90’s performance ford magazine. It was built for a business man with all new parts including a new crate rs500 engine, just after its first mot it got stolen and was found as a bare shell. 2 brothers who had lots of cool Cosworth powered cars rebuilt it, think this was them who had it featured in fast ford.

 

It's a Mk4 cab more than sure it was a Gartrac conversion

 

‘I had a feeling it was Gartrac
