What would be the most famous mk2 / mk1 escort in the country???

[bigjohnie]

Werthers

not just because i own it either

doesnt matter if you love it or hate it , everyone knows it

great mag feature , and it made a 3 page thread on here so must be good , lol


I had a bloke at my workshop on sat ,never has he owned a mk1 or mk2 ( cossie man ) but when he walked in and saw it he pointed and just said " is that werthers " i said yes and he was gob smacked

paul no disrespect but werthers is known on this site same as frostys,spences,kevs,deepests,gerards,garys warrior etc etc .rud it was the car all us oldies knew from the rsoc days along with john and tom mcglaughlins rs1800 and bcg.i would say it has to be fev ih,poo,lvx,etc all the famous works cars

Ps,My reply saying worthers was a bit tongue in cheek mate , lol



seems some have taken it a bit serious ,inc the owner of RUD IT , lol

[mk1gaz]

"Famous" means that people know it . So it could be famous for rallying , bufty activites , hillclimbing , magazine features , forum talk , etc etc .
Worthers is well known in the bufty scene and it's been in all the magazines etc so it is famous . It's the most famous bufty mk2 of recent years .
