Thanks, glad you like it, looked nothing like this when i got it, think is was a 1600 sport originallly, its red all over by the way. was cheap as chips, owes me about a grand now. it kinda grows on you

Nowt wrong with plastic jeeps, a couple of years ago i was running an RV Eagle (Cortina based) with a Rover V8 in it, even towed a caravan up to santa pod in convoy with the Escorts and Cossies.

that eagle looks massive by comparison

Bought for £500 as a non runner, has been great fun for very little money

I've had Jagos myself, the RV's are bigger but not a lot, the back axle dictates the width so a jago is as wide as an escort, (early ones are narrower, based on the Anglia) and the RV is as wide as a Cortina and about 8" longer than a Jago, it looks big in the pic but the caravan is pretty small.

got another one with a hardtop too, making it into a mini caravan, crash zone for the kids on days out, same wheels, steps, even matching tyres, made a trailer axle out of some tube and a tweaked KA rear beam, just bolts on rear leafs just like the original english dif

nice idea, (its still red all over really) shame the gel coats so good spent hours flatting it and polishing it back by hand, wanted to do a wild willy replica, like the tamiya radio control car but its not right to paint over it and gel coat is so child friendly, my boys climb all over it
