I admit it, I am a bit of an anorak when it comes to old Ford Escorts.
My main passion is for MkI and MkIIs. I fell in love with a MkI Mexico
in White and Blue when I was a kid and I have loved them ever since.
My first was a well knackered MkI 1100 which covered somewhere in the region of 125,000 miles before it rotted to death.
The early Escorts with rear wheel drive are just the most fun. If you have got a boy racer in you then these babies will bring him out.
I have a couple of projects in mind which one day I may get round to building. The biggest problem is finding a decent shell which has not been destroyed by Club Rallying and which also would not upset the restoration boys when I modify it, after all it would be a shame to destroy a perfectly good Mex or RS2.
I want to do a full X-Pack Cosworth powered (normally aspirated) MkII and a lowered Zetec turbo powered MkI, I may choose normal aspiration for this as I have seen some very desireable throttle boddies for this engine. Obviously both will be two doored and with running gear for fast road cars rather than competition. Money and time are a little limited at the moment as are the right doner cars in Munich so these will have to wait, but one day......

I said on the first page, I have had to leave behind a very sweet MkII
1600 sport back in England. It had a great set of German 4 spoke RS alloys,
Recaro roll tops, RS 5 clock dash, Mex front and RS2 rear spoilers, MkI
Gp A Billie inserts up front and gas adjusters at the back with a strut
brace and tramp bars to help it around the twisty bits. Not much modification
but a good looking runner. It was in need of a new shell and I was too
busy to do anything about it so I hope the guy who baught it gives it what
it deserves.
If any of you reading this share my interest and live around Munich then please contact me, especially if you have a car going at the right price.
There are a number of other Fords which I have some affection for, all of which could be considered hooligan tools, or classics as I like to call them. In thier day they were all a bit special, and the modern ones will be considered classic in years to come.
I hope you like them
Ford Focus World Rally Car.
1999 Season.
After a superb start with unexpected places and wins the team seems to be hitting a bit of a slump. I am sure that this will not last and even if it needs another year in development this team will be World ChampionsFord GT40
I
dont think there is much to say about this classic. The Le Mans car of
the 70's. Just a gorgeous design. I would love to drive one.
I am looking for some better images to here as these are a bit dark. I would appreciate a brighter image preferably one of the Gulf cars.
