The Ford Appreciation Thread

[Ray Gin]

I must say, I really don't see what the appeal is with FRP's. They look so girly, imo.

The RS1700T is a real rarity. Only ever seen one 'proper' one in the flesh and that was about 20+ yrs ago in a showroom in Skegness. I'm pretty sure its the car Malcolm Wilson has in his private collection now.

 

[Adam G]

Forgot one

 

[Mark-F]

mine from Tatton

this want mega mint;

sorry theres a few, and probably shite pics too lol

 

[vRS LIL]

So glad you done this Gally...my own Ford p**n collection.

Lols. They don't look girly in the flesh...

 

[Ray Gin]

Wasn't a dig at yours I just generally aren't a fan.

 

[Adam G]

That AVO is the second best Ford reg I've seen. After BDA 1T on an Escort RS1800

[Mark-F]

[Djw Dave]

[Ray Gin]

[DaveDreads]

[Hixle]

Monte on Rondell's in an amazing combo!

 

[Mark-F]

Like that.

thats imperial blue. and it was gorgeous in the flesh, got one of the back end of another, in a colour ive never seen before and he swore blind it was factory paint. ill see if i can dig the pic out.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

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.

took us 3 days to try remove the front windscreen. no replacements to spare either !

i WANT a moonstone silver saphire!

 

[DaveDreads]

Yeah I bet parts for it are rarer than Unicorn sh*t,
don't break anything mate. lol

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

lol all the glass is in andys house out the way. im still unsure on chris's idea of painting it metalic cadburys purple with a white roof!...

 

[The_Pirate]

Good thread, it's funny, as much as petrol heads in general either love or hate Fords, there is always a model they seem to adore..

Green please.

[MarcB]

Here is as always a couple of mine and some other fav's

[JackJack]

I'm more of a ford fan than i ever realised.

 

[Gally]

Marc you lazy bugger! Paying people to detail your cars! Tut tut!

 

[NoahRobinson07]

There is a Moonstone Blue 3Dr Sierra Cossie round the corner.

Someone told me only 52 were made in that colour?

 

[Mark-F]

thats about right, iirc it was the premium paint and back in '86 was around a £800 option, or thereabouts

 

[Scrooge]

Funkin' love this thread Kev.

No Granadas yet?!

 

[MarcB]

Marc you lazy bugger! Paying people to detail your cars! Tut tut!

A few of my RS Collection over the years

My first FRS:

My second FRS:

my third FRS:

my second of three Escorts I've owned, this being the longest ownership of them all being aprox 7 years

Other than all of the above, I've owned a gloss black Escos, which was actually my first ever ford.
8 months later I bought a black 3dr to sit next to it in the garage
and after breaking the green Escos pictured above, I did eventually buy another delete aero example with 490bhp, straight cut gearing etc etc.

Ford RS's, got to love them

 

[Scrooge]

I really hope this happens

 

[Scrooge]

 

[172-sport]

One of my brothers big spec cosworth

 

[Munson]

My shed. Parked up getting some rust.

 

[BigDaveRotary]

Dear god reading this thread makes me want to chop the Trophy in and get another Mk1 FRS.....sigh!

 

[Budgie]

If only i could afford them all as real cars.

You, my friend, need to get out more.

 

[Budgie]

I can appreciate the condition of some of these cars, but nothing with a blue oval on the front excites me i'm afraid.
