Needs a few MK1 & 2 Escorts and Tina's and it will be absolutely perfection

 

[AOKCUP]

And another collection from Ireland - just look at that garage

[Gally]

Thank you for that mate. I'm such a blue oval fan!

 

[cat171]

That xr3i is the one that was on pistonheads the other wek for 5.5k

The black series 1 looks ace, I was told that there are two of them & one cream one (I then read elsewhere that it was BS):S I was told that they were all white, even the old red datapost cars (apparently the door shuts are white etc)


The second garage is very impressive too, but i'm not overly keen on mk2 escorts. For me the rest are better.

 

[AOKCUP]

I'm oldskool so its MK1 and MK2 Escorts for me all the way - RWD ! But yes the collection of newer RS's is superb as well, bet he never drives them though !

 

[cat171]

I love mk1 escorts, but just not the mk2's, I the Mk3 onwards though. I think it's the shape of the mk2 tbh.

 

[Gally]

I liked the first garage better cat. Nice mix. No cossie was surprising tho.
RS500 mae up for lack of escort cossie action tho!

 

[cat171]

Yeah that moonstone RS500 is cracking. If he had a white one & black one, he'd have the set.

A lack or escort cos action is a bit bad (maybe don'rt like them ?) A monte in jewel violet ? or mallard would be cracking.

- I never clocked the thread title (now it's clear why that series 1 is black !!) I can not believe they gave princess diana a series 1 rst (I knew they did, but I can't believe it)

 

[Gally]

Madness! Whats the monte carlo one? I call myself a ford nut as well. Tut tut.

 

[cat171]

Escort cosworth monte carlo (or monte) they are cracking, special 'motorsport' recaro interior & special oz wheels.
Ash black, jewel violet (sp) and mallard green only.

Cheers cat I remember the wheels now. People run ronals as a copy now?
What about numbers? Certain number for each colour?

 

[Howell]

where are these in swansea? :O only live down the road wouldnt mind going for a nose!

I think the guy might have some security tbh.

 

[cat171]

Gally, Nah Ronals are nothing to do with those wheels (folk don't run them as a copy)

Yeah they are numbered cars, I can't remember how many of each though. All are small turbo cars, but there were a few big turbo ones on the cross over.

I don't personally know the bloke in Swansea but he is a forum member of that website and did mention he might get all his toys out in the summer for people to look at and basically drool over. My guess is that its in an industrial estate somewhere but yes security must be damn good and rightly so, especially in Swansea

 

[Howell]

yeah i can almost garauntee security in swansea, well known for its car theft lol

sweet, lets hope he gets them out in the summer then, got a thing for old school fords :hail:

Don't know what made me think of ronals cat.
These ones looked polished.
Those cars look freeking epic. Never seem to lose that attraction.

 

[cat171]

They are still iconic to me too, although i've never driven one. I'd want one with daft bhp tbh & some trick bits, but you know that if you parked it up it would be gone in five mins as some idiot would steal it.

Ha and I don't think it matters what part of the country that it's in!
None really being driven anymore, was thinking that the other day after seeing a s1, just no cossies anymore.
Maybe summer we shall see.

 

[cat171]

The last timre I mentioned on here that I hadn't seen an escort cos, I saw a K reg dark blue one the next day. Maybe if I say now i've not seen any RS200's etc i'll see some

I did randomly see a Monte outside my work one, it had a monte reg on it too, jewel violet too

Plenty of Escort Cossie's on www.turbosport.co.uk forum, but yes they only tend to come out to play in the summer

Never seen a violet one in the flesh, very purple?

It looks a lot better in the metal though.

There are a few on this page too, http://www.rscosworth.it/ford_escort_cosworth.htm

Iirc the yellow 'acropolis' (sp) edition never came out here.

 

[Gally]

Pmsl at the yellow one! Some how doesn't quite capture the cossie best!

 

[conneh]

Mother had 1 of those, in that colour as her first car.
Can't imagine there are many left?

 

[Ian_182]

I remember years ago they were toying with a cheaper escort cossie.It was a V6 and had no rear wing.Thank god they didnt build it.

The ford escort is also the most succesful rally car ever...
