Saw a genuine auto Sapph for sale a while ago, but never seen an Escos, seems a bit on the pointless side to me.

there was many years ago a G reg flint grey xr4x4 turbo technics auto, my dad tried to buy it when it was about 3 years old, it was originally owned by ford and the story I was told by the seller was it was specially ordered by a top boss in ford.

You wouldn`t say that if you were Paraplegic......
I built 3 2wd sapph`s back in the day with hand controls for lads who had been paralysed...... I used an uprated version of the 4ALD box...
