My one and only Escort was a Mk1 bubble arch 1600 before switching to a series of Capris. I never liked the look of Mk2 Escorts, but this MST Mk2 car is probably the most beautiful Escort tribute car I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning. Well done MST.
I had an RS2K in the 80's, it was my pride and joy. Don't think I ever loved anything as much ever since. This one looks absolutely stunning. I would have this over a Gallardo, not joking.
Absolutely stunning! As my favourite Mk2 Escort was my RS2000x, this beaut ticks all of the boxes for me with one minor change for perfection in my eyes. I think that I would have to have a set of wheels in the style of the original 4 spoke RS2000x wheel fitted to mine 👌🏻
When I was a boy a neighbour across the street had a mk2 RS x pack. I adored that car spending hours looking at it wandering how fast it was etc. This sends it to the next level eye wateringly beautiful car and I’ll bet it’s built to perform too.
Oh dear I'm having a mid life crisis,I want one now!! 😲 Had the MK2 Mexico and 1600 Harrier when I was in my late teens, Then bought a second hand MK 1 Mexico when I was based in Windsor with The British Army. Love the old Escorts, classic bits of kit!! 👍🤩
Them Harriers were rare back in the day, I had a mate that bought one for £5000 in 84, and that was a shit load of dosh back then🤔bet they fetch a kings ransom nowadays…
@@neoquest2012 I'm pretty sure they'd be crazy money today, but most of the motors I had when I was younger are fetching a tidy sum. Mine was white with blue decals, nice motor!!
@@Spartacus45 so true fella, I had an original 998 Cooper with sliding windows and door hinges on the outside, swapped it for a 3.0S capri that I loved until I ripped the front anti roll bar out the chassis going sideways around the roundabouts of South London in 85! Had a Dolomite Sprint I blew the head gasket on and pretty much gave away! Worse one was a 65 Split screen Camper I had to sell to pay for my first divorce, hey ho, mostly good memories and better to have had than had not… 👊
Same reaction here, always wanted an X pack arched car. I was 19 when I owned a MK2 1600 Sport and a lovely black MK2 RS2000 at the same time. My mates were very jealous but I had a good job and was living at home with mum and dad so could easily afford it. Sold both cars and moved into the Golf GTi MK1 1600 and 1800cc cars which were also great in their day.
15 years I've dreamt of road going MkII with series X kit and independent rear suspension, like Phil Collins rally car and a Millington Diamond block. I remember Car and Car Conversion 1977 Bjorn Waldegard driving the group 1 RS2000 with series X kit and have loved the look ever since. May have to save a few penny's for this one.
Whenever I see an MST video, it’s the fastest I’ll ever click. Can’t wait to see on the road reviews of this one, preferably with Johnny from the late brake show, hopefully he gets dry roads for it.
@@MST_Cars Be great to get Jonny on it again, but getting one Mr Harris to take it around Pembry or Ty croes to test out the lock stops would be epic.
Wow ! Just Wow ! Owned an DroopSnoot RS 2000 custom Mk2 Escort in my Twenties, Never forgotten owning it and pine for another one 40 yrs later preferably this one lol its a Masterpiece Bravo MST ✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️ from MJK Wales November 2024 🦅⚪✴️
@Sly_Wolf_1 well... if the video had been one and a half minutes of an actual dogs danglies, you might rightly assume that I was after a dogs actual dangly bits. But it's not... is it?
Just been on the website after clicking the link , absolutely weird seeing a 71 reg Mk1 & a 70 reg Mk2 as they look so alike to the classic , it’s really good to see older classics “based on” back in production not that I’ve seen one yet on our roads but the video says it all . I think we’ll be seeing more of these in years to come . Sierra Cosworth ? Also I bet the escort tributes have certainly been a head turner & head scratcher on 2020 & 2021 reg plates 🤙🤗😎
And now I’ve got a semi. I’ll take mine in Alan Man racing colours please, complete with a screaming Brian Hart BDA and full throttle, full opposite lock out of every roundabout.
As a JDM and muscle car lover, this car is absolutely perfect! I'm quite poor, so I'll never even own a stock two door Escort. But if things were different, I'd be looking at how I could get one to Australia. Awesome car guys!
This is sooooo good looking, just take my money now! Love it. Can’t wait for a review and test drive of this beast with pricing etc. stope with the teasing and let us see more. 😉👏🏼
Superbly done, however a black line, same thick as the bumper bars could be running down the sides, bumper to bumper. With an Mk2 Evo-X somewhere along the rear of door. The black line could be one thick line with thin outer lines. Ok I want this toy. :)
MST , This is quality , Top of your game in what you have achieved. Ford fan myself with a 1 of 500 limited edition . Fingers 🤞 crossed for lottery win 😂😂
That looks like a scaled up scalextric car. Absolutely awesome 👌
Definitely agree the best looking out threre
Stunning.
Those wheels are the prefect size, the stance is spot on.
Subtle but beautiful

Not an Escort or Ford a wanabee!
@@JohnSmith-ei2pz probably the best tribute car in existence!
😮Beautiful 😍
The X-Pack never looked better. Nailed it with the front lip, side skirts and wheel combo.
The more I look at it the more I love it.
I had an RS2K in the 80's, it was my pride and joy. Don't think I ever loved anything as much ever since. This one looks absolutely stunning. I would have this over a Gallardo, not joking.
It's got no rs in it,but the shell,this is an rs on steroids,this doesn't portray an rs2000,it's nice,but it's no rs
That is ball achingly beautiful....😍
Congratulations on your work that modernizes the line.... in my opinion the side was especially successful, beautiful!
😮That is incredible! The most amazing RS Escort ever!❤
I THINK I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE with this !!
I so miss my mk2 RS
We'll meet again ( or parts of you) some sunny day!! ❤
Absolutely stunning!
As my favourite Mk2 Escort was my RS2000x, this beaut ticks all of the boxes for me with one minor change for perfection in my eyes.
I think that I would have to have a set of wheels in the style of the original 4 spoke RS2000x wheel fitted to mine 👌🏻
MST... Take BOTH my kidneys!
That's the best looking Escort I've EVER seen.
Can't wait to see a road test!
I've got one of these. A stunning piece of kit.
Sounds and drives fantastic.
Hugs the corners.
I drive it every day. Its perfect.
Saw this at the PIstonHeads event - absolutely awesome

I grew up in an era where you had the XR3I, then the GT and in the end the RS turbo but this one beats them all. What a beauty!
Absolutely stunning, 👌👌
Stunning car one of my favourite escorts M2 always wanted RS 2000 one back in the day .
Oh dear I'm having a mid life crisis,I want one now!! 😲

Why ho why was this not around 40 years ago, absolutely awesome ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh man , what a superb job you guys have done , I've never seen an RS2000 look as good as that one....

Awesome, what you guys are doing with the Escorts and 6R4 is beyond awesome 🤩
That's how an rs2000 deserves to look. Nice guys. Nicest rs2000 I've ever seen.
This is a sted head rs totally destroyed the rs of yesterday,😂
Stunning. Would love to see full build video.
Whenever I see an MST video, it’s the fastest I’ll ever click. Can’t wait to see on the road reviews of this one, preferably with Johnny from the late brake show, hopefully he gets dry roads for it.
We will have to get Jonny out in this soon!
@@MST_Cars Be great to get Jonny on it again, but getting one Mr Harris to take it around Pembry or Ty croes to test out the lock stops would be epic.
I felt so sorry for Jonny when he got to drive the Retropower 'Vader' Chevette...in what seemed like a bloody monsoon style rainstorm...
MST Cracked it again . These guys are so talented in there production of these wonderful pieces of art . Keep up the good work .😊😊😊
@@MST_Cars ..hopefully before Autumn or Winter, so the roads aren't damp to wet...
I’ve craved an X pack RS2000 for 40+ years, if my numbers come up I’m aving one of these and their MK1 version to keep it company 😍
Exactly the same as me 💯% 👍
just beautiful , love the mk 11 shape .
That’s stunning
It's a beauty, envy those who can afford one of these.
Omg. Im off to the newsagent to get a lottery ticket. This looks effing fantastic.

I was never much of an Escort fan at any point in my life.........until now......like, WOW, that looks UTTERLY epic.

Best mk2 out there? And one of the nicer cars available today for sure 😮
Having to go back to the 70s for car styling that actually looks cool 😎 down with the jelly mold 🤟
Stunning. Just need a lottery win to cover the cost of me ordering myself this beauty.
Anything with Boxed Arches always gets my vote the RS2000 X Pack started it for me LOVE it well done MST
Not a ford guy by any means. But I always liked the x-pack mk2 escort.
And this is no exception.
👍👍🏴
And now I’ve got a semi.
I’ll take mine in Alan Man racing colours please, complete with a screaming Brian Hart BDA and full throttle, full opposite lock out of every roundabout.
Blimey 😮
A thing to beauty.
This is the best looking car full stop! So so so good!!! Its like a work of art, really need this to keep my 4dr company😂
Who would have thought a MK2 Escort would be still causing a stir in 2024
It looks just right , beautiful.
That looks awesome loved my old MK2 escort same colour in the 1980s

An Xpack MK2 and an Xpack V6 Mk 1 Capri, this looks like their love child. Awesome.

Great looking car. Reminds me of the 70,s cologne capri's.
Absolute stunner . Yes please I would like one .

Wow would love one, but with out the bib spoiler on the front.

STUNNING !!!!
That is a work of art, no doubt about it.❤
That is beautiful. 👏
What a beautiful thing .

Absolutely beautiful
That is one stunning escort
Had several Mk1 AVO Mexicos and Mk 2 RS's 2000s but this is stunning, wouldn't go sideways at all...😇
Wunderschönes Auto Gratulation
Memories ❤
Stunning MK2 ❤ I'd like just a slight tint in the windows though as I think it would be a bit classier looking
Reminds me of the RS2000 i rebuilt /resprade, like a brand new car 30 years ago, absolutly georgous. i cant post pics here damn.
These cars are absolutely amazing.. I’d love something like this one day… but would need an automatic. I dread to think how much though.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love it 👌
That is the best looking RS ever!!!!!
