Bit of a random one but does anybody remember a escort cosworth convertible that was featured in Fast Ford in about 1997/1998.the feature said it ran a 500bhp engine, four wheel drive, painted auralis blue. Can't remember how it was built up. Does the car still exist? Any pics?

jacko

there was a few a auralis a imperial and a yellow one

p.cressie

It was a mk5 it had original panels. Sure the feature said it cost 40-50k to do

jacko

as far as i am aware they cut the outer pannels off an escos they then fitted floor from escos into standard escort cab allong with inner wings then repanneled the outer car with cosworth bits theyhad cut off

there was a bloke who joined the escort cabriolet club a couple of years ago who had an auralis blue cossie cabrio but it was a stage 3 about 350 bhp i ithnk but really nicely done and he built himself he also had a cossie cabrio in red with a 24v engine i think and i think there both still about

p.cressie

Didn't the yellow one run a 1600 cvh?

Cheers Ben think thats the one. Used to have azev's back when it was featured

moesin2005

there is a blue one in blackpool and lawnmower john did one in about 97 before he did the cossie transit but it only had a zetec in it so his daughtercould get insured

Kam B

oh man how good are these cabs

doctor stavros

Cossie cab is my ultimate ford

doctor stavros

pretty sure the blue one in blackpool is a cvh

there were two rolling about around 7-8 yrs ago - one was seedle's, the other craig cauce's, both cvh iirc. Seedles never ran right, but was immaculate

craig cauces was a zetec turbo, but not the best mechanically, but the body was superb as scott linekar did it

always thought seedles was a shed

The auralis one above is the feature car, that supposedly cost 50k to build

kosman

they look really well,werent sure if id like them but they mint.

Robs Frst

They look really good I want one, I wonder how much it would cost to build one?

~nomad~

Think this was built by the garage I use, they have done a few of them now. Reynolds brothers.

Kam B

if you go the sierra floor plan route im sure it wont cost more than it costs to build a Focos etc?

Less.

I like but then I have always liked cabs
