me and the missus were in northwich this morning,shopping

i spotted this! what a cool reg plate for an l8 equipped car .
it was simply stunning,clean as a whistle.
who`s is it?

thing is,i`m not sure if it`s a replica or not.
ya it had front shafts and big brakes,but rear drums?

looks real to me, think there's something about if you fit a cossie front end on a normal escort the front wheel won't sit straight in the arch, an inch back or so.

But rear drums?

Ryan

replica i reckon

front lights are wrong

fuzzy

if it has rear drums as you say then surely it is a replica. nowbodys going to retro fit rear drums to a real cossie

genuine rear quarters though probs maybe been built up using a escos shell

that black soot on the rear bumper above the exhaust, don't you only really get this on turbo cars?

Why are the front lights wrong Ryan?

RichieST

numberplate doesn't even come up on rac vehicle checks, and all personalised plates do

If its a rep then it looks decent to me!

gingeRS

looks real to me

you must have been mistaken about the rear drums

also, those are some expensive brakes for a replica, and it must be turbo, from the soot/heat marks above the exhaust

also got an rs500 style intercooler by the looks of things too

real at a guess, the brakes are on the right side of the hub

Ryan

smit, upon looking at other pics, it appears i am wrong,

i thought they lined up with the arch creases, the lights just look very wrong to me, maybe because i cant remember the last time i saw an escort without morrettes on

maybe it is real, either way i dont care

EsCos/RS2000/XR3i lights are wider, and the sidelights narrower than the rest of the range.

Rims look smart as fook in those pics. Love MOs and antracite (sp) on a red car always looks hard as nails!

Scorch marks on the rear bumper? Either someone with a chavvy flamer kit or a lot of power to get the tail pipe that hot.

Nice plate, I've been looking for something like that, not the normal COS plate, but something that means something perhaps only to Cossie owners.

I didnt think it would be long before this car was spotted

It is a real cossie

Si B

iTrader: (59)

You know it. Mike knows it.

But noone will say....

The suspense is killing me...

I also had a PM before hand, but was told to keep quiet....

Its deffo a rep too

Si B

iTrader: (59)

So how about some clues to the spec.

I'm guessing an L8 ECU features.....

What else? Should be able to figure it out if someone can hint at what it's running.

Si

TrevCannon

a yb???

mike72168

Si B

iTrader: (59)

A YB? Cool. Would never have expected that - the car look like such a sleeper after all

SiB,

I am VERY surprised you dont know who it is.

Unless of course its all a big wind up..... Mmmmmmmmm

GARETH T

i know know its a rep

Si B

iTrader: (59)

Mmmmm indeed....

ECU Monitor Enthusiast

iTrader: (1)

It isnt a replica car, if thats what you meant

GARETH T

a 1.8 cvh?

TrevCannon

You know what i mean.. yb dumped into a shell built up as a cossie


But why drums? temp, standard factory fitted...

ECU Monitor Enthusiast

iTrader: (1)

Drums fitted due to the owner being a tight ass
