tyre writing

[Frosticles]

Looks nice enough though. I still want one of these

[grum]

i got those 215 BFG's on mine - the writing is only on one side so i asked the fitters to put it to the inside so it dont look too gay - dont see why peeps do it so it shows .......... they look like a 'red-neck hill-billy off roader'

The stickers where used on the Escort special (X Pack) in Germany

[grum]

thats right kel - mine used to have the triple blue vertical stipes on the doors, but these "highlight" the arches more ........... well thats what i tell myself

as for yours mark .................................................. ........ do em in silver and see what everyone says t'would be the only one like it

you found any goodies in das germany for our cars yet ? ive just picked up a mint sales brochure recently for the series x escort

[lee bishop]

i questioned the carbs, this is his reply:-

hi lee, these series x escorts were not all fitted with 44 idf's some only had std carb. you could chose as many or as little options as you wanted. i think this car has over the years had performance upgrades and at some time it has had 45's put on i have the receipt for this. i also have an article from june 1983 on this vehicle reading ford factory x pack,full group 1 engine 140 bhp, lsd, 7 1/2 j alloys, 17 gallon tank, x pack suspension, steering and vented brakes. it was also vascared at 130 mph. the car was then owned by Graham Taylor of surry traffic police. hope this is help. i am sure you could easily change it to 44's if required. cheers jarrod.
