Hi all, and admin. Thanks for letting me join and being part of some Old Skool Ford chat I'm lucky enough to own an Anglia, that was purchased early this year. She's been modified quite a bit and will list full spec in another post. Thanks admins for sorting out my stickers, they finally went on 100% perfect, phew....and they finish off the rear window nicely.

Back again with another MK1. Sold my Le Mans green Mexico rep back at the end of 2017, have missed it ever since, had a MK2 1600 Sport with a spanker of an engine in it but now back and the proud owner of a genuine AVO 1973 RS2000. Would love to know if anyone has any previous history or information about it.

He’s clearly got taste. Astonishing isn’t it, that just because he drives a car that doesn’t fit his supposedly narrative and he’s probably got a few quid, he should be wafting around in a supercar. The press are dreadful. I remember when Jurgen Klinsmann, the Tottenham striker in 94, turning up in a battered old Beetle for training and was lambasted for it. These are the types of blokes you could go for a pint with.5 points

Well you tight bunch it seems only @GrahamU is going to support us at the NEC this year. I'm amazed at you all. 🤔 Get your wallet or purse out. Swat the moths and get your tickets bought. We need better backing than this, it's not as if @Ray Kellye or Ian don't have to put in our own money. This may be the end of an era with the NEC so get your finger out. YKT. I know its not cheap but nothing in life is now. Just look at what you spent on a night out. Don't forget the discount code is CCOLDSKN6 at least that will help a bit. Time to step up gang!4 points

Ha, the "shitter" bit made me laugh. Up here in the north we'd say a "nail" or a "blender" too, so it sounds like it's a pretty universal bit of old-school slang for a banger you use for getting about. Fair play to Matt LeBlanc, though. A tidy old motor that gets you from A to B is a lot more honest than rolling up in a supercar just because the papers expect it. Half the time the cars people brag about are the ones that spend more time in the garage than on the road.3 points

Indeed. But as usual nowadays the question is how much is this the original car. Helmut Stein from Germany owned his Escort for almost 30 years. And was sold some time ago. Historic Motorsport worked on the car some 7 years ago for Darrell Taylor. So which one is the real one? Probably neither. https://www.racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/142431/ford-escort-rs-1800-wrc https://www.Retards Club.com/100063763002503/posts/here-at-historic-motorsport-we-are-very-fortunate-to-work-on-some-really-special/2517974014882598/ https://www.historicmotorsport.net/projects/mtw-200-p/ https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=140&t=20644793 points

Most Rally Packs are faked but Im reasonably confident that is a genuine one. Made very late in 1978 not early as determined by the metal airfilter assembly as most '78 models have the plastic ones. Its almost completely untouched with its radiator shroud and plennum cover all still as factory. So is all the emission control tubing. Of course he is wrong about the factory rear spoiler. The only thing that seems not original is the Carello driving lights have been replaced with others but you can see it was factory fitted driving lights by the relay location and placement under the bonnet. Never had hubcaps like he claims and most hear will recognise the stealies. Oddly most Rally Packs came with factory Globe Vollante wheels. In a way yes they were and option but most dealers offered them with the Alloys as part of the model when they ordered them from Ford so alloy wheels were more the standard than an option. Its quite rare as such to see one not optioned with it in fact. The timing belt would have been as frail and sand and they lost a few teeth while filming and why the timing when to crap while they were filming1 point

MK2 Cross member. Mk2 Hubs. Will take some pictures for you of set-up showing front if you like if it helps. Lots of people use Milton as it's more straight forward but MK2 Escort will work if things are done correctly and all geometry is correct. MK2 Engine mounts Also using MK2 Escort Quick Rack with long RS2000 Long Tie Rods so dont have to use extenders, and also have adjustable TCA's.1 point

Hi Really glad I found this home for old Fords. I recently bought a 1961 hot rod, much modified with Pinto motor, twin 40s, Revolutions, lowered, and am enjoying the sunny weather. Hoping to get to some car shows and meet some other owners. anglia1961.a1 point

Jesus, some parts gone into this project. Seems nothing is safe these days however, the key is concealment with Fords. Although we should be able to go about our business. Sad state of affairs. I hope she’s found.1 point

What coil overs are you using? What crossmember and rack? I am trying to suss out my Anglia and I really like the HiSpec brakes I added to my Escort so would like to have the same for the Anglia. I'm in the US so can't easily do the Milton exchange thing with Cortina legs.1 point

My 2 youngest and I went. As everyone was getting ready to leave the Show we went to video everything. Thought they were turning right, they went left. By the time we got turned around and through the traffic jam caused by everyone leaving, they had vanished, we never saw another car 😂 😂 Nice selection of cars, anything interesting is welcome not just Escorts. Enjoy the pics.

I don't think there is any aftermarket ones in the UK, as you say 1 on ebay here for £20 i think id give that a try. If not, wait until I get back to work on Monday, I'll get a trade price from Ford , on a genuine one, and can post it to you.1 point
