Default Some recent pictures of my 454 BHP escos, M9 COS

Thought i'd put up a few more recent pictures of my escos as I'm not really one for putting pics up too regular as i'm a lazy fooker LOL

They go back to my first show in cumbria right through to Ford Fair this weekend.

Unfortunately the urge to sell her is rearing its ugly head again because I really want to build a mega track car either a Focus cosworth or an escos track car etc.........

Hope u like the pictures but for some reason some of them are a little blurry as they are just off my phone


































And finally, this is how I drive her to the shows !!!

always had the bug Martin, don't really wanna sell the 205 track car but we need to for our new house but my Escos just comes out for shows and the meetings so it's a bit of a waste really. I could build a very good spec track car for the money i'd get for her really. Wouldn't sell if it wasn't the right money though!

no more shows for me till National Day and can't really be bothered to show her there as it always spoils the show for me as don't get a chance to look around properly. Sold my business so just waiting to complete and move to our new house (with big garage) so just fancy something I can build and lash around without worrying about stone chips etc etc.

The driving to the show picture looks like when they test new cars and cover the front so you can't see it

Looks mint, I can see why you get annoyed with it, it's a bit too clean to want to drive it!

took her off the road in sept 2005 as I was getting bored but didn't wanna sell her! Bought an E46 M3 then a Focus RS but then wanted to get the cos back out so I stripped her and done a 2nd resto on her

I do thrash her though when I'm out in her!!

That's what I'm afraid of tbh, people that just want the car for nothing without knowing the value of it!!

Got the turbo back, it's fubared and only worth Ł100 scrap really

Reminds me, I need to send another PM.......the last one!!

Very nice ... Even looked ok with the Blue tape on the front.

Yeah, it's one of the nicest out there. Those Breyton rims look fantastic on it. 10/10 for thinking outside the box there. Lovely colour too, the Vintage really helps bring out the best of it. Adds another dimension to it almost.

I really rate Concours on black and the darker blues, greens etc. Could spend all day sniffing it too! Got a couple of pots in the fridge.

That's what I've been telling people for at least the past 3 years now! I think the yellow Carnauba content works well with the darker colours, and some people tend to overlook it because it's not all white Carnauba.

It's not as durable as vintage, and it's not as good a finish on straight reds and lighter colours, but I've always preferred it on the darker colours.

Vintage certainly doesn't warrant spending the extra Ł1800-odd quid anyway!

Do you/have you used Zaino Z8 after the wax?
