Just love the sound of the early Escorts, had 2 myself back in the day, would love another one just need the £10,000 to go and buy one!

they do sound nice,some sound different from others so im guessing some are pinto's on big carbs and maybe even a cosworth powered one in there.
its a shame there arnt many more modern cars that are rear wheel drive with a lsd without spending a fortune

For pukka escort rally cars, BDA series are king.

used to have a YELLOW mk 2 1600 sport,, did a sraight swap with it for a mk 3 2litre capri ghia.....we live and learn

Used to have a few mates with Mk1 and Mk 2 esccorts and RS2000. Know of one old mate who still has his 79 RS2000 custom with full cosworth turbo conversion including turreted rear end and cossie diff. Seriously fast stuff.

Fastest thing I've been in was a westfield with a full race 4.8 V8.

400 horse, would light the rear wheels of the throttle in third, brutal.

I'd posted this on here a while ago. My brother has owned it since the mid 80's and restored it a few years ago.
