i know erd 132v was resprayed in the 80's from silver 2 white and the owner restored it so perhaps shes in a lock up somewhere if anyone has the car let me know please and also how did you find out these details

 

The details for MHK don't add up, I bought it in oct 1999, sold it in feb 2004 so last change of v5 is wrong.

 

1st car i ever owned was a harrier, white with a 2.1 pinto. No TTU 241V. Got pinched in 1990, i was gutted . What a car, would love another

 

i had one too about 94 mlu 937v

 

I wanna get another one, as soon as I've sold my house I'm gonna be looking for one, ideally silver this time.

 

good luck, they turn up on ebay from time2time

 

i used to have a harrier - silver, DWL 685V - my first car in 1988 - saw it last year on some site for sale with a few more owners since my brother and then i owned it !!! - t**t had painted it white !!!!! - you'd understand if it were the other way round !!!!! ....... i ask ya !!!!!!!! - funny how you still feel for "your" car even when its long gone

 

i miss my series one big time was quick as fuck 280bhp on ford motorsport stage 3 engine hybrid turbo and pace cooler, then one day the gearbox let go on 5th gear but also i had split the bulkhead from one side to the other or i would still have her

 

got loads of pics of harriers from shows in the late 80's
anyone got any of these still ?

post the pics

 

I owned EOL 322V from 1985 - 1991ish..... after inheriting it from my Dad who bought it new. Would be nice to see pics other than those I took at the time. My car once had appeared in Fast Ford mag in '89.... and was a bit modded as I used to sprint race as well as use as daily wheels.....
Also drove it round Britain in '89 as part of SEOC Escort celebrations....

get the pics up grum

 

got any more info about that,know it was a long time ago tho lo l

 

1989 - 25th anniversary of Escort production... and I was a member of the SEOC. My Harrier (EOL 322V) was one of I think 8 Escorts taking part + 1 support vehicle. Starting from a Ford dealer in Stourbridge, West Midlands, we set off up north via the M6 (briefly stopping en masse when 1 car got pulled over by the Police... ). First stage stop was Edinburgh where we met up with a bunch from Club Ecosse (think I got their name right), then we headed south via the A1. I remember traveling through the Humber tunnel trying to recreate the sewer scene from the Italian Job, with us all weaving around from lane to lane humming the tune (self preservation society)... We had to call in on another Ford dealer in Stamford, Lincs, but not before I reversed across a nearly empty service station car park and clouted the only other vehicle nearby, wiping out one of my rear light clusters... (tiredness was a factor). We then went down to London, on FA Cup final day, where we negotiated the football traffic and another dealer, before heading to the M4 and Wales.... Cardiff was our next stage, after getting a bit lost trying to get out....lol From there it was the last blast back up to Stourbridge - and all in under 24hours Several cars dropped out on route / we all lost contact after Cardiff / some made more fuel stops than others (one Escort was a 3.5 V8 conversion...lol), and I made it back in under the 24 hours ok. I recall that only 1 other car made it to the line...
We all had co-drivers of course, although my father in law only drove approx 1/3rd for me. My car was faultless, but should have been after only just coming out of rebuild anyway....lol It was memorable for lots of reasons, and we raised money for Stoke Mandeville Hospital as part of the reason for doing it... Somewhere I have some press cuttings of me and my car, and a photo of it before it was covered in temporary sponsor decals for the drive

 

spot on mate thanks for that,any chance of a scan of the press cuttin and pics,be intrested 2 see them,just a shame it would b a pain in the arse to do somthng like that now

 

One sunny day in May 1989.. shortly after a comprehensive rebuild - and ready for the 24hr drive ahead of it

The press cuttings wouldn't scan properly, but not worth worrying about honest....

 

Being in the RAF.. I had some distinct advantages when it came to grabbing the chance of a picture of my Harrier alongside the RAF counterpart..... My car was mid-way through the rebuild when it was put on display at our RAF base's Open Day to depict what our little Motorclub had to offer in facilities (enabled me to rent a space to rebuild in comfort etc) So it was put back on it's wheels for the day, dragged onto the display stand minus engine etc, and then dragged out for a shot when this Harrier jet was parked up for the night alongside our hangar...
I only wish I had been given the same chance once it was back on the road... would have made for an even better pic....

 

And here it is again whilst being photographed by a friend... his pics were used in Fast Ford magazine article too, which appeared in the July 1989 issue which I still have here... And no I'm not scanning that in too

 

cheers for the info mate,much appreated

 

Is there any performance differences with the harrier or was it just that cool stripe on the side?

 

Bloody old thread! anyway that kit is horrid and it needs lowering lol

 

I own MHK559V I've restored it, it's mint! One of the best around. It will be for sale soon
john

 

web81e can you post up some pictures please as love the mk2s and how much do you want for the car when up for sale cheers

 

It is lowered (2") all round......lol

Had adjustable rears though as this car was used on road, and in a variety of motorsport events, so built to deal with it all.

I seem to have been the only buyer of that kit back then......
