king of old school

[sab6024]

I've gone for the MK1 Escort although I have a Capri. I've had 2 Mk1's in the past and still have a hoooge soft spot for them. If I had the money I would deffo have another one.....keeping the Capri too, obviously

[Guest MK1gaz]

Mk1 Escorts are the daddies

[MEXY867M]

I love all oldskool fords but I think the same as gaz the mk1 escort is the daddy of them all

[Mr Sam]

From a slightly different perspective.... I think the 105e Anglia... why??? Well, this little car was responsible for the partnership between Cosworth & Ford. It was also a new breed of ford, with sharp styling and it was the first to feature the new OHV engine which was the beginning of new engines for Ford

 

*edit* BTW, it isn't because I own one, my personal favourite is and always has been the Capri. I love all old Fords... all of 'em I tell ya

AhhHa, the 107e was the first ford to have the Pre cross flow fitted

 

I don't want to pedantic but the 107E and the 105E were both launched in September '59.

 

I'd vote for the 105E Anglia or the 100E but it's neither are on the list but Escort Cosworth and S1erra Cosworth are....

 

The 100E must be the best OSF because it's still seen every day over 50 years after going into production.

 

 

im glad im not the only one that thinks thats a 100e

erm, so the jelly mould gets in, but no fezza?

[Muttley MK2]

When I was a wee nipper in the sixties a guy at the end of our road had a black 100e lowered with wide steels and a white racing stripe. I dreamt of owning such a car. It took me till 1987 to get one, a 1957 two tone four door running a mk2 tina 1500gt pre crossflow and classic capri struts, lotus steels with dunlop wide oval crossplies, feckin cool or what. Well the 100e is the car for me but I do loooove my capri!!!

[Dalek]

Your missing a fair few models from your list m8...

 

You may as well have put all the options for Escort... Yawn...

 

As for this

 

Some of the other old signs have an austin 1100 in them.

 

107E was Ford trying to get rid of the last of the old model (100E) by tarting it up. Engine, gearbox, axle (obviously a different bulkhead to get the "modern" engine in)

[BaileyMex]

I have owed a few different OSF's but It's gotta be the Good Ol MK1 Escort, cant beat a south london styled motor, slammed and simple

[bortaf]

gotta be the Mk1 escort, don't own one wouldn't own one but for me it's THE classic fast ford

[GT_Jim]

mk1 cortina not just because3 i own one but they are the best looking and if it wasn't for the lotus there wouldn't have been the twin cam escort

[Slik 50]

I have voted MK1.

I may not think they are the best and I dont think that I would like to own one but the shape, the image everything about them to me just says that they are the daddys

[martymk1]

no contest, got to be the mk1 tina

[sambo]

Definatley either the mk1 escort or the mk1 cortina.

 

Probably the mk1 cortina.

 

I just think that they have a little more "Prestige" for some reason. They have held their "class" as there has been some seriously ruined and bad taste mk1 escorts out there in the past...

 

Yup, deffo mk1 cortina.

[sambo]

Just look at Toby Kents mk1. Now tell me that isnt the KING of old skool!!!

 

[Delotus]

I sold a nice lotus rep mk1 tina and bought a superb mk1 rs2000.

 

 

No contest for me mk1 tina.

 

They just drive superb.Mine did.

 

Yes it had its steering box,suspension joints etc all rebuilt,

 

Yes it had single leaf mk1 escort rear springs.(thank god for mk1 escorts) haha

 

Yes it had a stonkin 1700 x flow,all of which which i fitted myself.

 

But the balance of the car was just superb.

 

I absalutely love mk1 escorts to bits.In my view they are on par with mk1 tinas in the looks department and ford got them both spot on when they designed them.

 

But i find the escort a little twitchy ,a little nervous if you like ,almost too resposive compared to a cortina on the road.

 

And that's after having a lot of mk1 escorts when from when i passed me test at 17 up to my late 20's.

 

That's in no way me slagging escorts off,i'll probably get another on soon knowing me. A nice mint Mexico would suit me right now.

 

But i realy want a mk1 lotus cortina,the genuine article.

 

Or i want another tina and i'd love my old one back and i want it back now!!

GT40 for me ... i know its not on the poll.. but the look on a certain Italians face when they won le-Mans... priceless ...and then did it again just to hammer it home .. well done lads

[RETRO_AL]

None, they are all sacks of rusty shite

[Vista]

So, lots of opinions on what is king of old skool, but it would seem we're all agreed on one thing at least.................

 

 

OLD SKOOL IS KING,

[jayson2.3pinto]

escort mk1 is the king

but i would say its on par with the mk1 granada ie the sweeny

SHUT IT
