gartrack mk3 escort

[fast eddie]

i picked up my mk2 on sunday and the guy has this mk3 rwd 2.8i escort, im not into them myself but wonderd what it is, it looks abit like a 1700t from the front and has massive x-pack like arches, the guy said its a factoy built (gartrack escort) with its own ltd id number, i have pics but dont know how to get them from my phone to the pc, anyway it has a great wrx number plate and if it is worth anything its a crying shame to see crap dumped on top of it

Used to be a lad called steve who used to own a signal green Mexico a good few years ago in the days of the MK2 RS Escort Club who bought a Gartrac MK3 with a 2.8 in it. Wonder if it is the same car???? Was on the MK2 stand at Stanford Hall with us in 2005.

i dont think its been on road for some time dude, so it is the real deal then?

I know that Gartrac did make some of these. Graham John should be able to enlighten us further......

I have a Brochure here, will scan it and post it up later, Gartrac certainly made MK3 RWD escorts to conpensate for the lack of a RWD escort, but then again so did a lot of others and the copies became known as G3's or Gartrac RWD when in fact only Gartrac could lay claim to the originals



think 'Genuine' factory x pack mk2s........



will post details up when i find brochure

[Dave1800BDA]

remember a converted Mk3 built to concours standard, Q764 VMD, this was back in 1989...sure it was cosworth powered

Saw this beauty at Croft last year

The owners said it was built by Malcolm Wilson from a Gartrac supplied shell and had brand new Capri 2.8i parts fitted when being built.

He has owned the car for 20+ years
