Because of my dad, he was racing anglias, escorts and cortinas in the late 60`s early 70`s, in the hot rods, then driving round in his mk 1 essy estate, with hot rod running gear and engine when we was growin up, plate was mun 113g.
Then of course watchin the sweeney an the proffesionals, my first car was a ford essy mk2, so had to get one again eventually, glad i did and done it 10 years too late.
