  • I have finally got one

    I took the afternoon off work and head for Buxton to look at this Mk1 escort, originally was going to look Wednesday a day early but could'nt wait.

    Full bare shell rebuild in 2009 by Darren & Ian at whitspeed with a full photgraphic documentation of the build.

    VERY solid car with 5 link & Gaz coilovers.
    Well how could i resist and now it's mine well happy.

    5 mins pulled into a petrol station for fuel 3 guys got chatting Love the car mate 20 mins later started my jouney home.
    I am amazed at how so many people stop, stair and point with a nod of the head.

    Here's some pics i took, not very good as i had to get on with clearing my garage.

    Should look nice with the other love in my life a 1996 ESCORT RS COSWOTH

    I had to sell my Porsche 911 Turbo to get both these cars, but i was well worth it.

    I'll look farward to the forum as i have some plans for the car and all the advise would be VERY useful not messed with cars for over 20 years.
    Thanks guys

                    It was on ebay on a 1 day auction, i contacted the owner direct and came to a deal.

                    he had spent a small fortune on the car at whitspeed....

                    It's lovely and the seats are very comfortable, i was looking at rally preped cars, but this has comfort and is very retro.

                    I want to update the mechanicals...g/box, diff, engine, brakes, etc.
