Hi guys, been meaning to get round to starting to post on here for ages.....

Firstly a few pics of my Escos and some history :





Its being imported from Hong Kong at the moment. It was bought new over there by a member of the British Embassy when HK was still a UK territory. When we gave the island back to the Chinese, he moved back to UK and sold the car to a Chinese guy who has just simply stored it all these years....

Totally stock and original, all Ford parts. FFSH etc etc etc and only 45,000k... Not bad for £5k! It really is an Over seas barn find!

Lucky me I have an old Uni friend who now lives over there sourcing electronic boards for Alpine and Rockford Fosgate from Chinese manufacturers. He has an Escos as well but I'll get back to that later...

I will start a full projects thread when the car reaches the UK (its some where in the Indian Ocean right now!) and Ive got loads of questions... Big one right now is does anyone know what happened to that firm that made carbon fibre covers for these cars? (Think it was JC motosport).

Hope to meet and speak to you all in time. Dave
