My old mans had his f reg '89 escort rs turbo since pulling out of Dagenham Motorsport on 26/03/1989, covered 272,000 miles, 3 gearboxes, 2 engines, 2 sets of recaroes, 3 sets of wheels and about 4 resprays! He had a stroke earlier this year and unfortunatly can no longer drive so said car has been placed in my hands. Havent registered it to myself as my dads name is the only one on the log book and just don,t have the heart!!
