Default Well I was wrong (V12 mk3 Escort...)

Was having an argument with a guy on another forum who claimed he had a V12 Mk3 escort, but there were so many gaps in what he was saying I didn't believe he had it.

So I said prove it, take pictures with a sign saying "Ha Ha MadMacs a prick cus this car exsists" and I'll believe you.

And good on him, he flocking did as well











Hope he actually dusts it off and finishes it

Nice idea. Looks like a piece of shit at the moment though.

Having the car and plopping the engine is in one thing, it actually seeing the light of day as a Road Car is quite another.

Definitely a at ya

Three things to point out to your man:

1. Afterburner rear lights

2. Whale tail spoiler

3. Most pointless creation ever - it'll be slower and handle worse than a chipped RS Turbo FFS

Those engines can make serious power on nitrous, but unless he gasses it its pointless.

Still a good for you though.

At least you are taking it like a man

Default ref v12 escort

its a funny thing the jag v12 has 285 bhp as standed and yes it is slow with only 212 pounds of tqe but it was a laff doing it and it has been on the road ,and was tacken off again to play with ,but as we say each to there own,, and with about only £1.500 spent on it and the now hi power to waight ratio should be more fun and gassing it would be fun but quad turbos would be better

Yeah it was, but the mk2 wasn't anything special.... V12 Escort with jag back end is

But looking at it somehow I dont think its ever going to be finished.

belive it or not , some of these "all alloy" V12's and V8's are lighter than a 200 blocked cosworth engine

Surely you've seen a jag rear end setup before Steve?

Been the choice of hotrodders for decades. Of course that doesn't make it any good.
