Locke Park, Barnsley proved to be a success again this Year. The Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club put on a great show as usual. Turn out was helped by the better weather (well the sun always shines on the righteous!). Plenty of Fords setting the standard as usual 🤣. Vista Estate was in element and he managed to raise money of HWD Hospital Radio too. https://www.hwdhospitalradio.com/ Just as we thought it couldn't get any better, some of Vista Estate's long lost cousins turned up. When did you last see 3 Escort Mk1/Mk2 Estates in the same place. Never. Bring back the LongRoof Club 😁

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD - PENDING PAYMENT AND COLLECTION. Project Charlton – Ex-Retro Ford project car – 1980 Ford MK2 Escort 1300 Sport – Rolling Shell - £3,250! It is with huge regret I write this advert – it's something I have been putting off for a long time as it marks the end of an era – a huge thanks to everyone involved - for sale due to unforeseen circumstances. Pictures available here on my PhotoBucket account and in a thread on here too - http://s350.photobucket.com/user/Jgambles/library/Project Charlton/For sale 1980 Ford Mk2 Escort 1300 Sport shell for sale (2-door) – As a bit of background I purchased HGU 478V from Marc Stretton when it was originally run in Classic Ford magazine as project car (Grey originally). The car has been treated as my pride and joy and built-up in Retro Ford magazine with no expense spared. It has been signed (on the dashboard) and driven by the legend that is Barry Lee with lots of praise – all documented in Retro Ford. The front-end is in particularly good condition (battery tray professionally removed in 'bay) and the whole car was given a blow-over in Diamond White two and a half years ago. It will come rolling with GAZ Gold 2.5” struts, GAZ eccentric top mounts, Twin-Cam ARB, double-width brackets, flared rear arches, weld-on rear lowering blocks on single leaf rear springs, brackets and mounting points for Milton A-frame kit on English axle (no link bars), front and rear tow eye brackets and weld-in seat mounts (both by Gary at Retro Motorsport), etc. The car has also been professionally under-sealed by a company that prepare army vehicles and off-roaders – superb investment. Full black military-grade Waxoyl, which will see it stands the test of time... Again all documented in Retro Ford. It has sat in a workshop since then and I want to pass it on to someone who can do it justice. Being transparent, there is some rot around one of the rear arches (only discovered when we were flaring it), the doors are showing signs of rot at the bottom (paint peeling around top as we were going to do the black around the windows a la sport), slight pitting in roof (used to have a vinyl roof), some of the filler has sunk around the car, and the front panel is missing some paint where I was planning on fitting a lip spoiler. Oh and the front wing was also damaged slightly when the wheel hit the arch when changing lock-ups. I've been very open, the car isn't mint, but with a bit of work it could look superb. I was building it to compete in... I am looking for £3,250 for the rolling shell (on old RS Four spokes) and I will throw in a freshly painted, matching bonnet and boot (mint) if I get the full asking price – the suspension set-up is worth £600+ alone (rear GAZ shocks are available at extra cost as is Safety Devices roll-cage). No messers please – I won't accept any silly offers - if there's no interest it will be going on eBay and PistonHeads.com. Send me a PM and I will get back to you ASAP - Happy to share my mobile number for those seriously interested. I am based in London, and the car is in Kent - I will therefore be available for viewings 8,9, 15, 16 February (first come, first served) and, potentially, on an evening during the week, if agreed in advance. Further more, everything else from the car will be going up for sale: This includes Hi-Spec M16 (206mm) brake kit, Fibre Glass front and rear bumpers, Fibreglass bonnet and boot, Pro-Alloy fuel cell, Safety Devices 6-point roll-cage, Carbon front and rear door cards, wing mirrors, washer bottle, ARB lip spoiler, 7x13” green wheels, Quiafe straight-cut 'box, MotorDrive seats, Sparco 6-point harnesses (black), dash top, and a full set of rubber seals, glass, laminated front screen, Gartrac BIAS pedal box, the list goes on... I will also be selling the I.K. Engineering 1380 X-Flow. I will follow-up with an advert for all of this later on including prices in the parts section.

ALL SOLD! Hi, I am selling some bits off my Mk2 Escort. I am currently doing a project which includes lightening the car where possible. My glass, bonnet and boot lid are all surplus to requirements. The boot lid is mint and comes with a spoiler fitted. There is no rust evident, in fact the only thing wrong with it is that the spoiler lifts at one end by a couple of mm (but this never bothered me). In the pictures the lock and Escort badge are on it, these will NOT be included in the sale. I am unsure what this is worth but the first person to offer me near £50 gets it. The bonnet is also in very good condition with a little surface rust underneath but nothing crusty, a bit of sanding and painting would make it mint. In the photos you can see that the bonnet has bonnet pins fitted, these will be included in the sale along with the pin posts. I am unsure what this is worth but the first person to offer me near £50 gets it. I have a full set of glass to suit a 2 door with front quarters. All the glass is mint, the windscreen even comes with an Old Skool Ford sticker across the top. Unsure whether the rear window heater works as it was never wired up in my car so assume it doesn't and if it does it's a bonus. The wind down runners bonded to the bottom of the door windows has a little surface rust but this is not deep and a bit of wire brushing and TLC will see them mint. Again I'm unsure what this little lot is worth, was hoping for £100 for the lot, but am open to offers for single pieces (although I'd prefer to get rid of the lot in a one-er). Can provide pictures of the glass if required, but being glass they won't really show much. All items are cash on collection from my house near Selby, North Yorkshire. I do work in Wakefield so could arrange to meet you there too. If you are questioning whether to buy PM me with an offer, you might be surprised. Cheers Neil

My dash split the other week so I'm looking for a replacement, preferably brown... As for the wheels I know they're rare but the heart wants what the heart wants, so if anyone has a set or knows someone who might, or knows where there's some on the internet you'd be doing me a huge favour
