escort help ???

[fatboycharlie]

hi peeps just after some info about a mk1 1300 sport iv been offered a rolling shell and i havent got a clue about escorts tbh iv been looking for info but cant find much and only seen a couple of pics how rare are they ect any help would be great

Quite rare I guess would be the answer. It preceded the 1300E and was sold alongside the 1300GT but with a more basic trim package than the GT. They, I think, had a bolt on rev counter mounted separately alongside a standard twin clock binnacle for instance. The Sporting Escort Owner's club might be able to give you more info if you give them a call?

Best book ive ever bought that

I know of a 1300 sport sat under a load of junk in a warehouse near me, there's a 100e in it also which I will buy if I can ever find anywhere to put it as my garage is full with the escort (my sob story / the thing that has been bummin' me out for the last two months since I went up and took a look!) ha ha

 

I am right in thinking it is actually one of the rarest / "the rarest" model? (excluding twin cam and rs1600)?

yeah that book is great (i'm reading the mk2 one at the moment and that is great too)

 

 

seoc will have any answers you require but might not be too speedy in getting back to you (in my experience)

 

 

if you have any specific questions I'd be happy to put them in an issue of the club magazine (although the next one won't be until early next year now)

That book is great

 

The Sporting Escort owners club is struggling to get anything done these days, i spoke to Geradine a short while ago and since Peter passed away she's stuggling to sort anything out, she was hoping that someone might want to take it on and give her some help but seems no one stepped up, apart from the guy who did the website tech stuff who has managed to keep it alive.

 

Shame cos i was a member when i had my Mexico rep back in the 90's and apart from the Avo club was the only club that catered for "other" Mk1's.

sadly this is true

 

 

i can only do my little bit (making the magazine), i don't have the time or the skills to run a car club but there must surely be someone out of the several hundred members that could
