First time I've seen this car, it looks absolutely stunning.

It lives up to the standard of your other Fords.

Cheers, Greg.

You had to remind me didnt you! I remember when you bought the silver Mk1.

BMX11T was a bit of a legend, where is it now? I should know but I dont venture on to Turbosport etc much any more.

[NickMexicos]

Ricky Morrison akka Tricky from Fast Car Magazine owns the car now , doesnt get used that much , will buy that car back one day

[Roo]

Lovely old MK1, used to have one as a daily driver in the early 90's.

Those Escorts are pretty special looking too. I was at the Jersey speed festival last August bank holiday and the fastest guys up the hill were all driving escorts.
