Baz. Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Has anyone ever seen or heard of a rear spoiler for the MK1 Escort?
antz Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 yep. classic ford march 2006 (i think) the cover car was a mk1 escort XE estate. inside was a purple mk1 built by R********T and it had a rear spoiler on. rare as rocking horse shit supposedly...look gay too
Baz. Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Posted February 13, 2007 yes mate i saw that one, it looked like a mk2 one to me and fitted crap, not sure about his story too
Mk 1 Mark Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Yep...My Mate Gary Made his own alloy boot spoiler,Similar to the Duck tail Rs2600 Capri.. Its the nuts,I think he has made 3 in total and they were for friends...He is bringing his Mk1 to Brighton.... Gary the light I think he might make a few up and sell them on
Baz. Posted February 13, 2007 Author Report Posted February 13, 2007 now thats interestin coz i heard that in the 70's MK1 race cars had a rear spoiler fitted the same as Capri RS 3.1, the Ski jump type you any pics mark?
LincolnDanny Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Baz, in an early issue of CF mag there was a guy with a reddy/orange mk1 with bubble arches and a 2.2 slant 4 lotus engine in it, he had a genuine mk1 RS boot spoiler. Think his name was Chris Evans if i recall right(not the ginger haired one ) so they definatly exist
LEONMEX Posted February 13, 2007 Report Posted February 13, 2007 Never thought id say it but the mk1s look the bolox with the boot spoilers

escortmad79 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Posted February 14, 2007 Prefer the ones similar to the Mk2 RS spoiler (Studs are in a different position). They are rare as rocking horse sh*t!!! There was a pic of one on Bebo but can't find it now
Baz. Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Posted February 14, 2007 looks like old ford auto service are goin 2 b makin somthing new soon lol
bomber1 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 another item in the list to get from them
Pipster007 Posted February 15, 2007 Report Posted February 15, 2007 But Baz, it's all additional weight mate. You don't need it for the strip
105Nick Posted February 16, 2007 Report Posted February 16, 2007 There was one in an issue of Ford Heritage years ago with front and rear, I thought it looked poo tbh, but the Ducktail looks nice on that big winged racer.
Admin Vista Posted February 16, 2007 Admin Report Posted February 16, 2007 The duck tails are an after market add on and they're a personal taste thing, but there were rubber boot spoilers similar to the mk2 spoiler available for the mk1. They were far more common on the continent than here (though still not that common there either). I saw one come up on eBay a year or so ago but interest was limited for a couple of reasons 1) People weren't sure whether it was genuine or not 2) The general opinion seemed to be that it didn't suit a mk1 anyway.
