wole0911 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Hi everybody just bought a 1969 mk1 2 door Escort imported from Malta ... ive got a Lotus twin cam engine to go into it during the winter so looking foward to that project.... im a bit of a collector and have a few toys ive collected over the years hiding in the garage which I drive on a regular basis that includes 3 x 911s early air cooled pre impact cars, a Caterham supersprint and a 420bhp Noble M12 and a 1972 MG Midget Im not a dealer and a bit like my musical tastes love most things old and intresting .... i grew up driving 1600Es and most old Fords and just wanted something nostalgic to drive again ... So again hi all....Mark 1

wole0911 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 Yes will do.... ive gotta go down to Cornwall on tuesday to pick it up ive got my fingers crossed and just hope its not a pile of poo!! lol
wole0911 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Posted June 24, 2015 Just a qwick up date .....so I travel all the way from sunny Hastings yesterday to beautiful Cornwall with a trailer with my mate 560 mile round trip to pick up Escort only to find the thing has more plastic filler in it than Cheer the singer...lol If it had any more filla in it you would have had to re register it as a fiberglass car!!!! Amazing some peoples definition of really nice solid car ... the only reason this was solid was because it must of had at least 3 tones of body filla holding it together..... but could see the funny side of it and my fault I should have asked for more photos and done more research about that particular car.... oh well the search goes on or shall I just sell the Lotus twin cam engine and box???
