RE: YKYWT: 1980 'Zakspeed' Ford Escort RS2000
Discussion
Has got my juices all going.
Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom.
One of my lads here at work said that there were loads of Mk1 & 2 escorts in solid condition back home - only problem is home is a sub tropical south atlantic island called St Helena and it costs £2000 to ship a car! Oh and theres no airport so you have to fly to Ascension Island and then get a 3 day boat journey! Remote! it'd be easier to go to the moon!

compare the price of the trip against the price of a decent/needs minor work MK1 & 2 in this country/euorpe and i doubt theres much in it!

Yeah I know, I had a succession of mk2 RS2000's and Mexico's, around 15 of them back in the 80/90's, good luck to people trading them now but I think there's much better cars from the 80's for less money.blade7 said:

Don't like these so much.
Much prefer the rally-boy Mk2 Mexicos.
They always seemed to handle a bit better, but the 1.6 ohc was gutless.Much prefer the rally-boy Mk2 Mexicos.

Yes, this is a lovely looking car and have seen it in action at Brighton Speed Trials. One thing I would question tho is the dyno figure, doing my maths I'd say it would be very difficult to gain that figure from a 2.2 litre 8v, if it is true the engine builder should apply for a job at Maclaren or, more probably, the dyno figures need toning down.

Sorry for being nosey, but just had a look at your profile, your 944 looks stunning! Always had a thing for 944's, & itch that is yet to be scratched
No problem that's what it's there for, is that your 964 on your profile ?, they seem to be on the rise now the 996 is the least loved 911.dave stew said:
