On Friday, our server hosts elected to move us to a new server with zero notice. Needless to say, they messed it up. At one point, I thought our database was gone for good. 20 years of knowledge and build threads vanished! Thankfully, that was averted.

Hi All, Following on from the fantastic event at the NEC Classic Car Show in November 2025, RetroFord Magazine wanted to cover the history of OSF in a Magazine article. @Vista, @Mk2Jo and @Ray provided me with information and photographs, thank you. Grab a copy, from your local newsagents or directly online with RetroFord Magazine https://www.retrofordmagazine.co.uk/ and take a look as it appears in the April edition. 😊

Hi all, I've had my Escort Goldcrest 1.3 for about 1 year now. Wanted a Mk2 since I was a kid I'm 42. Love driving it. I want to keep it a standad on the outside as I can but make it a bit quicker. Currently building a 2.0 Blacktop to chuck in her on 45's.

Hi all, just bought a another old ford after years in the wilderness

Bit late with this, I forgot to link to it. But here it is on ebay now. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/135587411221?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=a5kqocprtjq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=jDL8pYnSTce&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Good write up Mark and well done again to all who display their cars at the NEC

Well done Scott

Count me in too Chris 👍

I've never used motomobil before. That's a good price , but I guess there's some tax and shipping on that for me in the UK. I ordered 2 from ebay this afternoon. Thanks for showing me what they look like 👍🏻

Thanks,They are the chassis clips that hold the pipe along the chassis rails 🙂

Welcome to OSF

Welcome mate

I don't know if anyone is interested but I have a friend who is looking to sell his RS Turbo, H reg, got lots of original spares to go with the car £17k. if you're interested I can Whatsapp you some photo's. I wanted to buy it but the enemy said NO!

From the partsbook (microfiche). Don't know if this is complete, as I don't see the "hockeysticks".

I'd say anything from £17,500 to £25,000 depending on condition.

i messaged my local main dealer asking if they could do the 6000 mile service on my 1300E, needless to say i never got a reply, just thought it would be nice to have had another main dealer stamp in the book, its only had its first freebie one lol
