The Ford Appreciation Thread

[Gally]

I know there are some big Ford fans on here so post away. Pastiman's thread forced me into this!

 

[Gally]

And something a tad more modern...

 

[Wick]

I've just come back from the US and am now in love with the Shelby Mustang GT500.

I decided to post this proper car before the fan boys come in and start posting stuff that belongs on a scrap heap

 

[Mark_P]

All Ford's accepted, including p**n like this?

 

[Mark-F]

good shout Gally! loving the capri

 

[S1MON]

My old motor

 

[Gally]

Really well finished Simon. I'd paint everything that colour if I could!

Daniel...

 

[Mark-F]

my old 3 door

 

[Ray Gin]

Not a Ford fan at all but I must say I would definitely own a Sierra Cosworth

Minus the splitter.

 

[Bluebeard]

My Pride and joy. If I earn any money this weekend i'll get it taxed and MOT'd next week.

 

[Mark-F]

nice daniel. like some old skool kool on pepperpots

 

[Bluebeard]

I've been offered good money for it but I can't bring myself to sell it. I'll never find another as original as this.

 

[Mark-F]

dont sell it, you'll regret it

 

[Ray Gin]

How much would a decent Sierra Cosworth set you back these days?

 

[Christopher.]

Allan Mann racing liveried mk2, I was very fortunate to have met Allan and his son at Goodwood once

 

[Mark-F]

far too much... that pic of mine, i sold it with about 52k and full history, i was the 4th owner for 7.2k, gutted when i got a job offer the next day.
a good one your looking anything between 9-17k for low miles and pristine, RS500, anything between 15-72k is the most expensive one ive seen. although could pick up a saphire cosworth for between 4-9k

 

[Mark_P]

Well this one is currently for sale for £33k

 

[Mark-F]

^ RS500

 

[Mark_P]

yes, yes it is *drool*

[couzens]

Nom nom nom

 

[Hixle]

No FRP Kev? :dapprove:

 

[Mark-F]

yes, yes it is *drool*

for me, the pinnacle of motoring (unless its a 288, F40 or equivalent) only because its somewhat affordable and has all the motorsport heritage

:headno: :headno:

yep, was a white one that was an ex-race car, had an immense spec, was a classified ad on ebay a few months back. in fact, i think its been for sale a few times. and it was road registered

 

[Hixle]

I want an XB Falcon soooooo badly! <3

 

[Short Norman]

i was on holiday in Devon once and saw an absolutely mint Mk1 in those colour's driving through the campsite. The driver looked the spitting image of Gary Glitter.

 

[DaveDreads]

This is my new favourite thread!

I've found myself getting more and more obsessed with classic Fords.

Lotus Cortina!!! Love them.

 

[DaveDreads]

I want a Cortina so badly!!!

This is one for the lottery garage.

 

[Mark_P]

his play thing

 

[jam.]

I've got nothing to add other than to say the 2-door Mk1 Escort is one of the coolest looking cars ever made. They look brilliant.

 

[Gally]

Why not...

Oh and i'm loving these recently...

 

[steviem]

If only i could afford them all as real cars.

 

[Djw Dave]

I shouldn't be in here.....

 

[Mark-F]

thats some appreciation!!

 

[S2H]

My old beasts...

 

[couzens]

Love that engine bay! Smooth and clean FTMFW

 

[Adam G]

and my favourite one:

 

[DaveDreads]

The local mechanic I use has one of these in for a full respray,
rare as hell Ford Consul Capri Coupe, they only made them from 61-64.

 

[Hixle]

I think I miss Gally's frp more than I miss my old Trophy! What a f**king fabulous looking car <3
