Classic Ford: The Dream Machines edition

[Arfur]

 

The March issue is available in print and digital format from today, and inside this edition we showcase classic Fords that you’ll want to sell your soul for!

 

 

Everyone’s idea of their dream classic Ford is different, so when we were working out what cars we should feature in this Dream Machines issue, we knew they would have to be eclectic.

While there are some obvious big hitters (restored Mk1 Escort RS2000 in stunning Sebring Red), there are less obvious examples, in the form of the arched Mk1 Fiesta Supersport built by the Fiesta Farm that caused such a storm when it first debuted at Loch Lomond last May.

 

 

And then there are the real dream machines in the form of the beautiful GT70 and the brutal Escort RS1700T! Want your classic Fords more down-to-earth? How about a sleeper-style Anglia 100E packing a potent Pinto, or a low-miles Escort Harrier?

 

 

For those who crave tech, and lots of it, tuning tips for the Mk1 Capri, plus we show how you can fabricate a custom anti-roll bar that works with compression strut suspension.

All this plus classic Ford motorsport, top tech advice, cars, parts and projects for sale and the finest photography you’ll find in a Ford magazine — all in the March 2014 edition, available now.

 

Classic Ford March 2014 issue is available from all good newsagents, supermarkets, travel outlets, petrol stations, or direct from our My Favourite Magazines store.

 

Also available in digital format from:
Apple Newsstand (iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users)
Google Play (Android-based smartphone or tablet users, and Google Chrome for PC or Mac)
Zinio (PC or Mac)
Amazon Kindle Fire
Barnes & Noble Nook

 

Cheers ’n’ that,

Hi Si.....

Good read again this month.. well done..

 

While your there.... looking to change the front slam panel on my escort for easy fitting the rad. Going through some old mags there was a chap DAVE POXON who ran an escort rover v8, I remember he cut out the slam panel and replacing with alloy sheet, but I'm unable to find any photos of how it looked or how he did it !!

Is he still around !  is the car shill on the road !   do you chaps have any info... would be good m8.

Take care..

Gary.

Morning Gary,

 

Yes, remember the car well. I've only got the pics that were used in the original feature - if they're any use, let me know.

 

Cheers,

 

Simon
