I have some info on this car and to be honest if wasnt for a BSC member telling me about this post I dont think i would have seen it... Anyway... I was told about this a few years ago about 2003 from a member of the Mk2 oc she purchased from an engine designer at Dunton who had purchased the car, Internally from Fords, he had the car from 1970 through till 2002 and for the last 8 years of his ownership he kept it stored in his garage, where it slowly disintegrated. She got in sept 2002 and done a few bits to it. I also believe it is a GT estate as well, so quite rare anyway as these where SVO. Here is some spec info i have on it: Original Ford prototype 1969 1600 unleaded engine number three of three Made. Escort Mexico brakes as fitted by Fords at Dunton test center in 1969 American body shell but fitted as a right hand drive by Fords Half American and half British interior as fitted By Fords Bottom rear off side quarter removable as used to store test equipment Rear arches not standard for Cortina made by Ford specific for this test car. Hope this is some help to the new owner... if they wish to contact her I am sure i could put her in contact with them Nelly BSC

Good to hear it ..... come on show us some pic's

I found this tag in the C pillar when I was scrapping a lotus cortina mk2... Must have been there before it got sprayed as it has grey primer on it... wonder actually was wrong with it...

Hopefully we wont have to wait until June to see it... some pics and updates in the mag before then would be good...

and contact H Cortina he is the chairman of the Mk2 owners club.

Saw this in the flesh today and it looks the nutz ... Nice motor Tim Spanner throwing competition .. I am up for that...

I shall be there too... not in a cortina as i have just sold it... bugger...

Cheers mate...

Bestek Ignition Systems... can anybody help ... a mate has just brought a 2.1 pinto with this system fitted but unfortunately there is a piece of wiring missing between the coil and the amplifier... does anybody have this fitted to there car or can tell me where the three wires go coming out of the amplifier or even heard of it... I think the colours where brown , white and a bluey/green (memory not as good as it used to be) if it helps the amplifier has IG 100R written on it. Any help to get this poor old Anglia Van started again would be appreciated. Cheers

New carb eh! i wonder if that will end up pairing the 1 you have already...

I wouldnt touch that screw as thats there for calibration.. you have probably got a leaky capacitor inside the rev counter. Dosent matter if it is NOS as there dry up over time and crack.. seen a few like this.. worth a look..

I am not that friendly with Timmy Tim Tim.. oooo yes Fri/Sat/Sun ... cheers

Well cant let Timmy Tim Tim go on his own (Mk2 cortina wise)... put me down for it as well Will get the money to you through Tim.. Cheers

Thanks for the comments guys .. i am sure both owners will be pleased Here is a Pic for Chris (owner of the anglia) lowered it for him he wanted to see the look...

New Wheels for the Anglia... and out in the sun for a change...
