Only trying to help the guy matey im a bit of a spotter when it comes to escorts you know what im like i always reading about them.

The photo was taken from a Graham Robson book called Boreham,but that is the only photo of it in there. But in another book ive got called the Works Escorts there is a bit of info on the car and where it raced. Some of the info is as follows Monza- finished 3rd Salzburgring- finished 7th Brno- finished 5th Nurburgring- Retired Spa 24hrs finished 26th Brands Hatch- 5th Hope this is of some help to your mate and see if you can get some photos of it on here,keep us all posted.

Here you go mate - I remembered the reg from a book - Gerry Birrell driving in the 1972 British Saloon Car Championship

Both cars look mint to me some people are so lucky,the best Mk1 ford built

Get the bulk head gussets we will weld them in and put the engine bay in paint it will soon inspire you to carry on before you now it will be running again with your new motor neatly installed. Sideways again.

Ive told you it wont take long there isn't that much work in the Mk2, it will soon be done we should set a date to finish perhaps two years time, only kidding or we could plan to have them mobile for one of the ford shows this coming year.

Yes i know, Nick is quite keen he will soon be getting started and you know you will never hear the last of it if he does finish before any of us,it means we are going have to pull our finger out and do a bit of overtime to get them something like.

Well done Mark they have come out well mate just a shame the bodywork on mine isn't up to scratch yet for the photo's. It is true though having the OSFs at work does help get through the day at least we have something interesting to look at even if we havent got the time to work on them.

Well done mate hope it goes well,soon be runing properly,should see a big difference in the way it drives with that carb and cable on. By the way did you see my email ive sent you about them reservoirs.

I will keep you posted how things are going.

Cheers lads for your comments im going have to pull my finger out and get it sorted instead of just talking about it, like i said before theres still quite a bit of work to do.

Hi. Here are a few photos of the mk1 still loads to do though see what you think,still needs respray and interior,its taking a lifetime.

Hi mate how are you,i will have to call round some time and have a look at the old girl and see what your up to. What bodywork have you got planned for it i didn't think it needed much it seemed very tidy last time i saw it

I think it still looks good mate ive told you before thats my favourite colour lucky bugger, by the way hows that fuel gauge,i take it its working ok then.
