Mk1 Escort 2000E.....?

[Mexican Gerbil]

Picked up a paper and on the back with an insurance add is a Mk1 Escort 2000E. Was there such a model? Never seen or heard of one before.

Period perfect, but with a perfectly dressed 2-litre Zetec to power it, Chris set out to build the 2000E Escort that Ford missed out on. It took almost 10 years, but he achieved it, too.

not done by Ford, an escort with another bloody zetec in it.

@colr6 thought it might have been a home brew. Google came up blank when asked. Shame it has a zetec when it’s concourse.

How can it be Concourse when it's a bitsa. Its unique but not original. Sticking Cortina badges on it does nothing for 'a factory look' IMO

have tbh, it looks nice, BUT, if your going to make a 2000E out of a 1300E, then do it right, go period correct and use a pinto

The pinto is an anchor but the v4 would definitely sink it !!

Are you that person who buys a bungalow and then converts the loft space to an upstairs instead of buying a normal house?!???

Why fill the roof space of a bungalow with bedrooms I don't need, it's full of car and bike bits ?
