In 1996 I moved from Australia to the UK and one of my first jobs was working for a car hire company in Wokingham Berkshire I was use to driving big Aussie V8's and six cylinders My boss told me to jump in one of the new Escorts that had just been delivered and take it to a client I thought "Ah yeah a four cylinder Pommie Ford how long is this gonna take to deliver" Well after about Five minutes of driving this thing with Mexico on it I was in love It was the best 25 minutes of my life ,driving it along country lanes with my foot down what a great little car
My dad still have a 5 door mk6 escort. Is the Ghia version, but the slower 1.4L. Is really fun to drive. Was my first car too. Awesome channel. Greetings from Portugal.
Nice to see standard escorts about. I think its an age thing now where black un painted bumpers/mirrors are still great to see rather than colour coding them straight away.I would love another mk5 or 6 escort had my mk5 12 years!!!!!!!
Hub caps, am I totally 90s by calling them wheel trims..great channel..I'm very jealous of your pre 2001 font reg plates you got for the RS 2 and cosworth. I have a 89 escort 3 door estate and need a set! Best wishes.
Interesting videos to watch 🙂 and I'm learning lol....It's great you have knowledge of the escort's, iv had 3 in my time and didnt know some of the stuff you have said so thumbs up to you 👍 Keep them coming 🙂🙂🙂
"where my journey began" - thank the Lord your mum didn't have a Nissan Micra. Yet an another amazing 'unicorn' Escort, you can certainly find them. My mum has (from new) a 50k Honda Civic, not quite as mint as your Escorts but if think if it was a Ford it might have rotted away by now. Keep the great videos coming...
Enjoy your videos very much, amazing knowledge of all the less known details. How does one get hold mirror hanging things? Keep the videos coming please. Drive carefully.
When you look at the price of older Escorts...Its only a matter of time before the very last, late ones start to go up in value. They still can be picked up for silly money, and are a great buy as long as you are not a Jonesy. Great vid....Subscribed.
Graham Evans I’m still waiting for em to go up 😂 we’ve had my mk6 in the family 11 years now and the price hasn’t budged. They’re great value piece of old ford nostalgia
Nice get mum back a Mexico although one point . You say nostalgia a lot I understand the memories these cars have for you however I hated them when the came out. The original Mexico was a very special car . Totally different from the standard cars and the Mk6 was a badged up standard car really in comparison. I think however you may be onto something the only way these cars are going is up in value . Nice little collection you have now !!
Cars in really good condition, personally I'm not that fussy on the shape, very bland and feels like there's a lot missing from this generation of fords. Fiestas similarly.
Should never off had the Mexico name,it's basic,not even got alloys or colour codes bumpers,the gti was even better, She should've got a mk5b rs 4x4 rare,I had one years ago but had scrap it was rust box...

Man i miss the 95 Escort Ghia Wagon we had. already looking forward to rebuild one like this when my ST is completely done. Nice video Jamie! :
Hi Jamie nice present for mum very kind gift can you tell me how to buy a Jamie rs airfreshner??
Thank you ordered the RS Jamie airfreshner pack it's on the way .
The Mexico proper was the MK 1 and the MK 2 escort not that one that’s a joke
Bless your mum. You look just like her
Nice to see standard escorts about. I think its an age thing now where black un painted bumpers/mirrors are still great to see rather than colour coding them straight away.I would love another mk5 or 6 escort had my mk5 12 years!!!!!!!
Incredible and original car!!! So good to see it!

Loving the escort Mexico, I have had loads of ford escorts over the years except a mk1 and a mk6.

Great video Jamie, lovely car, But for myself personally there was only one escort mexico I wanted. Mk 2 All day! Just my preference 👍👍
LES ESCORISTE , FROM ALGERIA ♥

I'll stick with my MK2 RS Mexico and outta courtesy refrain from Gilf jokes
Stunning...............that it's still road worthy 😂
This escort shouldn't have ever had the Mexico name it was rubbish. ..
Cars in really good condition, personally I'm not that fussy on the shape, very bland and feels like there's a lot missing from this generation of fords. Fiestas similarly.
Did she say Tormallard green ha
I thought it was Tormaline green ( fiesta rs1800)
Mallard green ( cossie etc )
Is it really
Strange
The fiesta Rs is Tourmaline green
RS Jamie my mate had the fiesta back in the day it’s a very very similar colour looks exactly the same
Strange that
Flip sake RS jamie ya could have splashed the cash and necked the fuel tank 😂😂
they all look the same tho and pretty much are... didn't ford just put a Mexico sticker on it and add more money to the basic
90bhp Escort ?
I’d be gutted if someone told me they’d bought me an escort Mexico to find out it was this piece of crap rather than a MK2 Mexico
Should never off had the Mexico name,it's basic,not even got alloys or colour codes bumpers,the gti was even better,
She should've got a mk5b rs 4x4 rare,I had one years ago but had scrap it was rust box...
Buy me A rouse cossie prity please
Can you buy me one 🤭😂
Jamie you am da nice legs !!👍🇺🇸
And
Am a ford fan but that Mexico has nothing special other than the leather steering wheel so it’s just one of the rip off uk dealership crap buckets
So you own a cosworth and you buy your mum a £300 escort Mexico 😂😂
@@rsjamie9423 very nice I must say I love watching your videos my 1st car was a mk6 escort si in white I loved it had the rs2000 skirts and spats.
