Lovely looking mk1 you have there
Lovely looking mk1 you have there
Absolutely beautiful motor!!!
I'm not a fan of bubble arches, either on Escorts or Anglias. But that colour is excellent. In fact I've just bought a brand new car (taxi driver) and I wanted a metallic brown as first choice. But Seat only have a crappy metallic gold.... if they had anything remotely like this I'd have had it like a shot. I think dark bronze will make a comeback on modern cars. Or am I stuck in the 70s with chocolate brown Allegros?
I was kinda hoping to see more build pics... but I suppose it will keep me hankering for a good old chat if (when) we meet up sometime this year at a show. Have you had it rolling roaded since it's been run in?
I'm gonna be honest and say that the MK1 Escort is a car that's never really done it for me in the past. I was always more into the early/mid sixties stuff. But they have slowly grown on me over recent years as have MK2s. Too late to get one now ofc... far too expensive for my pocket. Saw a lovely bog standard 1100 two door at Leeming Bar a couple weeks back in Silver Fox.
Keep up the good work and good luck with the Anglia!
Lovely looking cars. Sorry about this but can't on anyone been told you may have a set of wheels for sale ?
I would swap my telly any day for one like that. just stunning mate

I thought the Escort looked good but that Anglia is pornographic. A nice collection of Old skool Fords there
RWD Escorts - Making the competition look like c**ts since 1968!

lovely mate.
Hi, what a great car!
Are you by any chance the sort of person who enjoys building them more than they like driving them and are therefore ready for another project? I guess what I am trying to say is there any chance the car is for sale?
I didnt want to post on your thread, but I cant PM without 25 posts and I am not going to post cr@p just to get there. If there is any chance you would consider selling, please can I have an email address
Lovely looking motors.
Off to the classic ford show tomorrow & the mexico will be on the Hot RWD Ford 1960/1980 Stand at Santa Pod Raceway, hope to see you all there for a chat.
ALLWAYS EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
Lovely car! Love the colour
