Thanks to my Dad, RIP, I have a psychological problem obsession with mk1 Escorts...

 

My first Escort was a lovely 1300E, totally standard.  I had this for 2 years, I drove it to Cornwall from Horsham (near Gatwick) and all around Cornwall whilst there.  I loved this one but needed to sell as money was tight at the time...

My second was a Mexico replica with a 1600cc fitted mated to a type 9 5 speed and 2.8 Capri struts, six clock dash etc...looked nice but was welded to death underneath!  Still solid though!

My third was a 1100L with 1800cc zetec, Anglia axle to take larger wheels, disc brakes all around, type 9 quick shift, Morgan dash dials, slammed South London look... I never fell in love with it... shame because it did look good...

Forth was the Wheeler Dealer Escort, great car and I spent lots on her to make her go as well as she looks.  Problem was I had an itch for a RS2000 and had been looking for the right one for a few years.  Anyway, £1,000.00 will be given to Cancel Research on the sale of the Wheeler Dealer car.

Then finally, my dream one - genuine RS2000!
