I'm sure if you paid enough you could find a good escort in Leeds for the night.

I think there's a concours Mk I twin cam at Harrogate Horseless. Hmmm...TVR...MkI Escort...TVR...MkI Escort decisions decisions

[v15ben]

Yep the concours one at HHC does look very nice but it's no TVR is it

Dave, it's not what I get up to honest, I don't live in Leeds anymore - just the reports I get filtered back to me

There used to be an original works twincam (XOO 497F or something similar) in a dealers over near Shipley. Not sure if it's still about.

Story goes the chap from Shipley was offered a swap for the twin cam escort for a road going RS200 , but he declined.That must be one of the Ultimate Mk1 Escorts !!!!!

The bloke is called Ken Shipley and the plate is actually XOO 262F, so I was close. I think it was the very first works twincam which competed before the MK1 actually came out in 1969. Hence the value.

That is true, 4 too fewer pots and 1 too many cam shafts ?!?
