Renewed for another year , don’t remember seeing a reminder e-mail , but tbh i never check spam or junk mail i will from now on .

Hi Stuart , welcome to the forum , what are your plans to do with the car apart from getting it back on the road and enjoying it ?

Richard is a lovely guy we met for the first time last weekend at the NEC after a number of years of phone and text conversations so it was really great to finally meet him and his Dad too .

I agree it was a really good show especially to celebrate 40 years of the classic car show itself and the 15th time OSF has been attending it too . Well done to the team for their time and dedication for setting up the stands and of course the wonderful collection of cars and van! . Stunning . roll on 2025 . see you next year .

I tend to agree , its probably just an investor thats bought it store it for a while then move it on at a potential profit . Probably got no interest in the car itself or driving it ! Its just a commodity in their eyes . Hope i am wrong

Thats mental ! . But how many are left with that kind of mileage and in that condition these days .

Thanks everyone I had a Great day yesterday it was well worth the drive from Kent ,good to catch up with the guys . Both the OSF stand and 1300e owners stand looked great ,the cars and the beautiful van look amazing . Enjoy the rest of the weekend guys .

BBS gone insolvent again !! Lost track of how many times in recent years thats happened .

Probably gone up in price since they sold my Mk1 Mexico 2 years ago and Judging by the Mk2 Escort RS2000 custom they sold recently at £94k i dread to think what the Mexico will be up for 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️……i suppose it depends on what collector / investor they have lined up to buy it .

Yes ….

He didn’t have any the last time i asked about a year ago when i was building a heater unit, i did manage to get 2 he had at the time but that was quite a while ago.(from memory that was about 2 to 3 years ago ) . I did buy one of the Mk2 Escort/ capri ones you see on e bay and i did manage with a bit of minor adjustment/ filing etc to get it to fit and work but i cant exactly remember how .

There was some very nice Mk1 Fiesta Supersports there too …alas i didn’t see any Mk1 Fiesta XR2’s ….☹️☹️☹️

Mine is ….. “Easy “ ….. on a sunday morning …By the commordores …..

Thank you Scott .
