Awesome car!

Re: My Grp4 Escort sprint and track day car.

Awesome car!

I'll second that, a great looking car with a top spec and nicely put together too, and a good colour also

Been great seeing it evolve over the years to what it is now, I remember seeing it at Ford Fair, Cornbury park, I think? many years ago when it still had a pinto and 4 speed box in. A great car then, its just a little bit quicker now

I've still got that early Classic Ford mag somewhere too, it must have been one of the very first issues, cant remember what year it was though?

will make the trip to the autosport show in jan a worthwhile visit seeing as it will be on the SBD stand

Blimey, that's a good memory! That was one of the first shows my brother and I went to at Cornbury Park!

The edition of Classic Ford that Matt's car was in (cover car I believe?) was the second ever issue after it changed it's name from Ford Heritage magazine. I remember the day, it was pissing with rain and I bunked out of work just to watch the shoot, was at the local aerodrome. I think it was either 1996 or 1997! The car has most definitely evolved immensely since then.

Re: My Grp4 Escort sprint and track day car.

Cheers for the nice comments guys

Cheers Pig, thought it was about time I sowed the seed

Blimey Steve you do have a good memory, I think we did two Ford Fairs at Cornbury Park as a feature car before it moved, first must have been 1998 as the Front cover feature was Feb 98 then in 99 I had the YB because we were running it in on the way there with my Dad, I had also just fitted the 5 speed SC gearbox and as i'm sure most of you know 5th is the noisiest bloody gear in the box!!! Drove most of the way cruising in 4th I think. Fun times

Everything I want to do to the car now costs an absolute fortune but I'm very happy with the spec now, it's brilliant to drive on the rallies, what I've always wanted.

Be good to see anyone who comes to the Autosport show, Car is on the SBD Motorsport stand, come and say hi.
