sambo Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 no need for words, well, im speechless anyway! I remember a tiny, tiny little pic of this in classic ford mag years ago! Frigging amazing! I normally hate mk1's in gulf colours but, well, what can i say!??
Admin Vista Posted August 29, 2007 Admin Report Posted August 29, 2007 I'm going to say this quietly, for fear of a public stoning Sorry I don't like it, those arches are just too much, what they come off FFS, a dumper truck??
GJUK Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Looks a bit strange, nice but strange. Im note sure its for me! Jon
sambo Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Posted August 29, 2007 whats wrong with you people, its apparently a genuine zakspeed mk1!!!!!!!! I would do anything to own that car!!!
Mart Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 i'm with vista and gjuk on this one looks ok but i think if you mess with a mk1's lines too much it spoils em did anyone see tat yellow mk1 on ebay about a mth ago that someone had tried "kitting" up looked dreadful
Copey Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 not a massive fan tbh, bubble are fine, but those arches seem a bit...odly shaped somehow...
sambo Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Posted August 29, 2007 I know the car you are on about mate, but that kit wasnt even designed for a mk1 escort, this one was! I dont think it spoils the shape at all! I suppose you guys dont like the look of the DJ invictan mk1 then?? I can understand where some of you guys are coming from but this car should not be confused with a bodged up x-packed mk1 on ebay!!
Admin Vista Posted August 29, 2007 Admin Report Posted August 29, 2007 whats wrong with you people, its apparently a genuine zakspeed mk1!!!!!!!! I would do anything to own that car!!! Authenticity may make it rare, and zakspeed certainly may have made it fast and even given it race winning pedigree. Whilst those ingredients may have made it valuable, they don't necessarily make it good looking. The Bugatti EB110 for instance is rare, valuable and very fast but IMHO is a serious ugly duckling Just my opinion though eh?
GJUK Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Maybe it looks better in the flesh. Just looks a bit 'fake' to me. Im not saying it is, just gives off that bodged vibe. Maybe its because its a monster racer . Jon

DarrenM Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 I appreciate an old race car but those arches just don't look good!
petrolhead01 Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 i love it and sambo im with you!! all i have to say is watch this space!!!
meXEco Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Awesome-remember this is a fast car-a fast car needs grip-grip means big tyres-big tyres means BIIIIIG arches-bring it on-your all pussies!!! (meant in the nicest of ways of course )
Mr Sam Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 saw the pics elsewhere i jut hope its got a propper powerplant not some silly stage 3 cossie etc only works for me if theres an old skool screamer in there
Retromotorsport Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 Rules are rules .... And european touring car rules stated that the tyres must covered to below the wheel centers ... Zakspeed Mk1 , mk2's and the Box Zakspeed mk2's ( the xpak) are all results of this ruling .. I belive it still has the correct engine of a 2L BDA on Kugelfisher injection .. do i like it .. nope not a fan of the arches .. would i have it ... you bet ya left hairy nut i would ..

Guest MK1gaz Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 It needs a set of these to finish it off
Pye Man Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 Personally I love it!! I remeber the pic in CF, there was a cobra striped one as well I seem to remember
