what boxes did they use?
never heard of one to be honest but they may well of been none factory conversions.
come to think of it are there any 4x4 auto boxes from the ford range?

Quite possibly the worst gearbox ever made anywhere
But I might be wrong!

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.
bit like the auto mk2 rs2000 for mr ford himself (henrys grandson IIRC)
don't remember what gearbox it had in tho

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...
