Cheers, its been a bit of a slog to be fair, sat in a workshop a year or so ago, never thought I would be chatting to people in shop car parks, it gets attention.

[SHIFTY]

Welcome aboard Justin, great job with the mk1 and a man with good taste I see - well done

[Blower]

Nice car but BIG rims on a Mk1 don't work for me.

This is 2012... not 1973

BIG Arches - Big Wheels and they are of the right Design

I think it looks Pucka Colour is Pucka

.... ooops , is pucka a 70s word

Just my opinion may i add

[Groupcracer]

before any else says it NEEDS STRIPES..

Love this car nice colour and looks the danglies. I'd be very proud to have it in my collection.

[fast eddie]

[Aaron P.]

[Mikethepanel]

Sorry to show my ignorance but what is the yellow thing to the left of the rear number plate?

[Moose]

Ermmm I was thinking the same thing

[lee bishop]

I'm pretty sure it's a battery isolator, but jay will confirm.

[jayman]

Lee is correct, period style Lucas cut out switch for the battery, red for the protector did not work ( red car ).

Smashing car, love the colour.
Another south coast Escort.
We are all forgetting the most important bit, What is hiding under the bonnet?
1100 with single choke carb?

[jayman]

I wish, that would be running nice and smooth. No its a 2.1 pinto with a dgas carb, 5 speed for cruising motorways, nothing to special but just enough.
