Working on a Mk 4 RS for a client that currently runs 240 hp and will soon be running more. Full-body restoration is my "part" of the process. Engines gone off to be "breathed on" elsewhere. That ^^ is a cracking looking MK1 - absolutely stunning car. I do like a fast Ford..
what a beautiful escort and a brilliant owner too, the two of them were made for eachother 👍👍. My grandad had a bottle green mk1 escort and when he took me with him when i was 4 to trade it in i cried and refused to leave the car! Ive never owned an old sporty escort but they are definitely one of the standout memories of growing up in the late 70s and throughout the 80s, superb stuff! great video too 👍👍👍
Fabulous Escort and video, thank you for posting. As a 16 & 17 year old I had a 1971 J-reg Mk1 Escort 1.1 with go-fast wheels, but unfortunately it didn't look and sound anywhere near as good as this 😀
A great car, I think it's great that Ford has a different status in the UK than in Germany! Well, some things are strange with us anyway......I've been driving a 2014er Fiesta ST, it's a nice car but not comparable what your Escord makes of! Bad comparison 😅Nice Video thanks for showing! André
FairPlay young man can see you don’t like the camera in your face but you’re giving it a go and you sound as though you’ve done you’re homework as obviously you won’t remember these cars on the road in great numbers 👍 great video I’ll subscribe and watch the channel grow
Hi looks good however you can't have Mexico on the car when it's not..as for the bhp , I had my mk1 Mexico with first engine 1760 with 125 bhp @ the wheels & I also had another engine 17.00 cc with 120 bhp @ the wheels @ 6.000 revs..both with twin 40 carbs..

Thanks for your comments guys. Means a lot. 👍🏽
And don’t worry the headlining is nearly at the top of the list! 😂🤟🏽
love it... which camshaft did you select?
Watched from Jamaica, we had a 1968 model 1100 back in the day. Still have the engine and gearbox.

An absolute peach of a car! I love the mk1 particularly so and this is peak mk1!
Nice to see the old Ford engine 🏆
Thoroughly enjoyed watching that.
Great vid on a bloody nice Escort.
Beautiful looking car!
Sort the headlining out though, looks like the ceiling of a lady of the nights boudoir.

The car is a work in progress still and also remember, it's 50years old!
