I always see a dark blue mk3 one when I go to watch the rallycross at Lydden Hill - ultimate sleeper cars!
They're all Q plated because they're essentially new cars made by Gartrac

I saw this on Ebay (well i assume it was this one, there cant be many of them on there!), and was going to bid for it for a second, on the basis that its just cool as feck and ive never driven one.
Then i stopped and actually thought about what i would do with it on a day to day basis to get my moneys worth out of it and couldnt.
Its not like you can really use that power on the road very often so i couldnt have enjoyed the performance much, i dont really like series 2 escorts so wouldnt have enjoyed the looks of it, only place to get any pleasure from it is a track really, and ive already got a car for track days anyway, so i didnt bid.
Im sure its worth 10K to someone else as well as you though mate, so i wouldnt worry too much about getting your cash back.
Deffo go and enjoy it a bit first though on a track day or a really good bit of road where you can open it up, as you wont get a chance to once its gone!

I knew it wouldnt be long before it would be going, as like what i said to you the day you picked it up, what do you feal like behind the wheel ???? and you said ------------------- . if i was you i would have some fun at beds track day in it first and then swop the engine with the next coss you buy and then sell it for less about 7 / 8 k if you can and you will have got a nice engine for 3 / 4 k, i think you will sell it easyer at 7k because of people trying to get insurance on a 400 bhp , Q plate gartrac because the insurance has got to be over 1k for that

the new m3 are very good cars out of the box mate ,they are not super fast they are not slow either ... they are a very good package for lux/speed/handling
i would part chop my 3dr for one ..if it was going
best of luck what ever you decide

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Not doubting you,but all the gartrac escorts I ever saw have either alloy(mk3 shell)
or kevlar arched (mk4 shell).
Never saw a proper gartac unarched mate?
good luck,puddy

If i decide it deffo has to go i'll put it back on Ebay as i know it will sell and maybe for a little profit

It was built to order like that chap!
Both Tommy Field and Joe Stevens know the car well and would confirm this to any interested parties! Gartrac themselves would also confirm it is a proper Gartrac built shell!
