Hello to everyone, i am Cosmas from Athens Greece, i ve recently discovered your really excellent forum and i ve become a member at once-i wish we had a same one in Greece. I own an escort 1.3L red colour simple without any modifications. During this summer a friend of mine found this escort that you can see below. As my escy has many problems with rust i ve decided to buy it and continue this unfinished project. One of my dreams is to create a historic rally car, i would trully appreciate if you express an opinion about this Mk2 as you are experts and of course more experienced. I wish i could visit you in GB and meet you. I ll give you more images soon!

Thanks mates, i really thank you. I ll keep you posted, this is a period of saving money for the winter to come when i ll buy the SD cage and my Minilites. Which dimension do you suggest? Keep in mind i ll fit a 2.0 rs2000 pinto, the estimated horsepower is at 130hp.cheeRS mates.......!

I see there are lots of MkII's still being used in Athens but usually in very poor condition. On one of the little streets which connect Messogion to Kifissias just a bit west of Katahaki there is a little tuning garage and I've often seen an RS2000 in there.
Athens has loads of very interesting looking car tuning shops which I unfortunately only ever see through a taxi window! In Ilissia there's an old Ford Dealer and you can still see the faded 'RS' original painting on the outside façade. (Only got Fiestas in there now, but I wonder if he's got an old cellar with forgotten ...........!)

I don't get to Athens very often - maybe every couple of months. Then it's usually to do things like this: (in case you're wondering, the Colonel is quite small - but I'm quite big, too!)
I'm there on Friday, but staying a bit out of town at Vouliagmeni, just travelling into Katehaki for a few hours meeting and back out Friday afternoon. Towards the end of the year I'll probably be having a few longer stays at Megara. I've seen there are a few good looking wheel shops on Kifissias going out of town. Some nice Ferraris about, too. Wonder what wealth taxes those guys are paying!

To Asteras Hotel maybe? I am living close to Vouliagmeni and i am working at a firm to Katehaki-Mesogeion and St.Paraskevi, so i know these places very well. Maybe during your next visit we ll meet and perform some laps with the escy in Megara Circuit. If you ll need any help let me know!!! It ll be my pleasure!!!cheeRS mates.......!
