I bought it last year, as when I was a kid I loved the series 1, and always wanted one, but could never afford it, so now I'm old I thought what the heck and got one, whacked it in the garage and its sat there ever since lol.

I run the Webhosting company for this forum 1337hosts I also know Chet from UKRCM Smile he will be along in a min I expect.

And no the escort needs no real work, only a new battery, it has about 180bhp I think maybe a little more, the usual has been done, dump valve, bleed valve, chipped, intercooler uprated, but it looks totally standard from the outside, apart from a stainless exhaust.

Just needs some TLC its a Custom C reg version as well, which is what I wanted
