Default Ex works escort FTW 48H

Morning to everyone. I have been a visitor to this site for a while now and finally joined this morning. I have just purchased the above car and seen in previous posts that a number of members know of the car and that articles about the car had also been written by forum members. I am trying to collate as much history about the car as I can, so if any members can supply any info or point me in the right direction, I would be gratefull. I attach an image of the car, and as detailed above would be gratefull to receive any information.

Kind regards

David

Dan as we are on the passion for fords site I am guessing that the 3.1 capri ticked your box.

Thanks for all the comments guys.

I have found a thread from Passionford dating back to Sept 2009 started by a "RS Shawn" and he refers to an article he wrote about FTW 48H for RN. Any ideas if RS Shawn still uses the forum or indeed what RN refers to?

Very nice MK1. ...its also a very tidy collection of cars, is it yours? What other wheels have you got, daily driver etc? I know I'm being nosey, but thats a great selection of Classics so your more modern stuff must be pretty special too.


Cheers,
Grant
