  • wheeler dealers - mk1 escort

    wheeler dealers are planning a mk1 escort episode and have contacted osf..

    To fulfil the mint owner's original part of their program, they're looking for a standard Escort MK1 with slight modifications that are similar to the ones they've done to their own car. They're not looking for a complete Mexico / RS replica look, but more of a halfway house refurbishment with spots but no decals + minor mods and in top condition. Can you help? With regards to the location they have still not finalised this, but are based in London and Bracknell and so would ideally prefer to do this in the south of England. However, they say that they would definitely be willing to travel further afield to film close to the owner's location. Owners from further afield should therefore not be discouraged from submitting their cars for consideration. Filming is targeted at January 15th, so short notice but what have you? Please post photos of your cars for forwarding to the production team in the thread at the link below http://www.oldskoolford.co.uk/forum/...p?f=3&t=138942

    hope they treated the escort better than the capri they done, rattle can respray in a completely different shade of blue. To be fair restos have got better with each series and have finshed up with some lovely cars so looking forward to watching programme.

                    the impression i got was they was doing me a favour cause they where a film company

                    I said the Fat one would not fit in the vinal contours so did they want to buy just one for the lanky one

                        The sucks mate

                        They think they are all movie stars and full of self importance!

                        I dont watch the show as its an embarrasment to how a car should be restored. The show is 30 years to late, should have been aired in the 70's when it was ok to to dodgy repairs to flog motors on

                          At least its not Bernie and his expert mate from Canada i have never witnessed worse than that. Hoking through a pile of scrap metal on the back of a sprinter and pulling out jag e type shocks, bare metalling cars with sanding discs in 4" grinders, putting a mgb on a lift and back axle falling out,oh its a bit rotten, looked like spring eyes cut off and they expect anyboy with anything between their ears to believe that the cars are restored in ten days.

                              They don't 'restore' them, merely fix them up to sell on! Ed's quite clued up IMO, its Brewer who is a tit!
