osf when i was 17 (1989) i just wanted a mk5 cortina which was a bit strange for a young lad as they were mainly reps cars not boy racers

 

it was just my favourite car i got one when i was 18 but a few months later swapped it for a 2 door mk2 escort

 

now i had 2 favourite cars and for ages just had either mk 5 cortinas or mk2 escorts most of my mk2 escorts were 4 door though

 

i had a few capris along the line too

 

so now i cant decide my top favourite

 

1st joint mk5 cortina with 2 door mk2 escort

2nd 4 door mk2 escort

 

the rest i love them all not as keen on the mk2 granny though

easy one really, toss up between the mk1 and mk3 capri

 

i love the mk1 standard, but i cant leave anythin alone and i think mk3s have more options for subtle mods ie mk2 bumpers, different wheels, mirrors etc nothin too drastic, i think for that reason i am gonna say the mk3 :ykt::thumbsup:

Love the old Consuls, Z cars, Mk2 & Mk3 Cortina's :thumbsup:

 

I like Anglias, Capris & Escorts buy not that fussed about owning one (even though I have an Anglia Estate & have just sold one :roll::lol: )

Posted

The estate was my first, nearly brought a mk1 transit ice cream van a while back just to fly up pod with the music playing :lol: If i was to start a new project it would be a space framed V8 100e all satin :twisted:

would have to be a stripped out twink (rep or real) mk1 escort in diamond white with square lamps, 1800 cross-flow on twin 50's, simgle seat and 8x13's minilites on the back and 5x13's on the front, just to rag it down pod :thumbsup::thumbsup::lol::lol:

mine has always been and will always be a MK1 Escy...any model!! With the Capri coming a very close second. I shall be looking at getting another Capper in the future unless mine don't sell this weekend :wink::thumbsup:

After the escort, it would have to be one of these

JPS capri (bought one of em at 18, when my first escy got nicked - Beige 2 door mk 2, UWT242R if anyone sees it, I'm still looking)

Zephyr 6 - its the fins :D - 3 inch roof chop and dropped as low as it would go

Mk1 or 2 transit

My fav is deffo a mk2 escort,any model any number of door's in any cond just as long as it's a mk2 :thumbsup:

 

Could quite easily have been a cortina or an anglia though.

My brother had a mk5 cortina which was promissed to me until it got nicked,then i got my eyes on an anglia rusting away outside some indians shop but my dad wouldnt let me buy it till i was 16,by that time it had gone.

 

My other brother then offered me the mk2 i have now and it became my all time fav. :mrgreen:

mmmmmm im a strange one here, i'd never seen a mk3 capper in the flesh.... until i bought mine, but from there i'd say its a brilliant car :) no doubt about that.

wouldnt mind having a mk2 escort mind!!!

 

someone is gonna shoot me here but i do right fancy one of them brand new skylines in "off white" colour, they are just so agressive in the styling and go like STINK!!!!

 

either that or a celica gt4 (220bhp out of the box with 4wd and jap crap engine, so im sure you can get a helluva lot more power from it)

 

also one in white with castrol stickers mm mm mmmmm :D

 

 

before all this i always wanted a renault 5 gt turbo 2 (the mid engined rwd group b spec one!!) and i still do to this day, i think they are mint! :D

 

sorry to go off the old fords... but i go for driving and pure performance (hence most of mine being 4wd ;))

I remember getting a lift in one of my aunties friends cars and it was a black 2.8 capri, sometime in the 80s. But earlier than that, there were 2 brothers on our street who both had tuned up mk2 escorts, so remember them in the early 80s. Plus another local kid, teared around in a mk4 cortina with huge spotlights on the front. guess mk2 escorts stand out most in my mind and thats why I've always wanted one
