My Mum's Mk1 was the same colour, Canary yellow,
I was taken to school in it for years.
I really love Mk1's they look amazing, the mad thing is at the time they were everywhere so they everyone just thought 'meh'.
I'll just leave this here.

You don't see them in that condition very often,
although tbh I don't like Cortina's beyond mk3's, Mk1 & 2's is where it's at.
Mad to think a car that big only has 61bhp,
it's almost unbelievable that they were designed to be family cars
and carry 2 adults a couple of kids and a boot full of stuff.

They're not all that big though mate. A mk2 clio for example is taller than my Orion (a 1990's family car!) and only about 6 inches shorter.
Mad to think 5 of us used to go on holiday in my dads orion back in the day! It's tiny inside compared to newer cars.
I have memories of my Mum's Mk1 Fiesta being roomy,
then I remember I was a child so I didn't take up much space.
Although I had a Mk3 Escort as a stop gap while in between Golfs,
with the back seats down I got two adult German Shepherds in the back with room to spare.
Loving all the pictures so far guys!
I thought id add a few pics of my old Ford RS i used to own shame i don't have any of my Escort RS but my fiesta was Completely mint loved it can see my brother Cossy in the background.
Few of my brothers 1600i
Lots more but i don't have them all online! Loved going to all the Ford events convoying with my other mate and brother one point we all had Escort RS turbos grey / Red/ Black all 90's spec
Cheers

Yes I wish i hadn't sold it tbh but thats akways the way! had 3 large folders worth in excess of 20k spend and won awards in the past. I was looking not long ago for either Escort or Fiest RS again as i project with my brother, non seem good enough and and most are selling for more than mine did 4 years ago.
Those of use that were teenagers in the 90s took these cars for granted because they were everywhere,
not to mention the fact that 99% of them were modified in the worst possible ways
and driven by people that would be described as brain dead chavs these days.
Fast forward 20 years and they're now considered classics,
probably because it's hard to find 90's Fords that haven't been ruined by clueless morons
that back in the day were trying to pull jailbait at the bus stop by doing handbrake turns.
I wonder what badly modified chav rockets will be considered classics in another 20 years?

Being only 28yrs old now i didn't have the joys of owning one from new either! but was a treat finding examples that had been well modified/documented and well looked after like the Fiesta i had, might just be me but 4-5 years ago it seemed so much easier to find them maybe it was the fact me and my freinds were in the "scene", between us we went through many a fast ford including XRI's
Love them still tho

I was looking about twelve years ago for a nice one, gave up after months & months of trying. I dread to think what condition most of them are like now! Mind you minters are silly money

i can remember be picked up once in a friends dads 1.3 cortina, we live on a housing estate with quite a steep hill on the way out. When he tried to go up the hill the car would go so we had to get out walk to the top then get back in the car.
My Mum's 1.1 Mk1 Fiesta got overtaken on a hill by a push bike once. lol
I bet that goes for a few quid,
although other than the chassis it has sod all in common with a Mk1 XR2.

Was going to say it was mint until I've seen it's been bastardised into a track/drift/show car no originality at all!
