Hi looks good however you can't have Mexico on the car when it's not..as for the bhp , I had my mk1 Mexico with first engine 1760 with 125 bhp @ the wheels & I also had another engine 17.00 cc with 120 bhp @ the wheels @ 6.000 revs..both with twin 40 carbs..

Ditch the spoiler! Its a lovely car. Ive Had 60 of these, 1.3 all the way up to modded 3 litres. 2.8s, 2.8 turbo technics. They are amazing cars! You can sort these out and they will trounce modern cars, you cant compare them to modern cars. Mine has a 5.7 chevy engine in and pushing 493bhp 570lbft @ 3500rpm...its a monster. GREAT CARS THESE ARE.

Prefer the Standard Ford Rear spoiler, and it’s a much better fit. Please lose the front splitter and the rest is amazing ❤

Fabulous Escort and video, thank you for posting. As a 16 & 17 year old I had a 1971 J-reg Mk1 Escort 1.1 with go-fast wheels, but unfortunately it didn't look and sound anywhere near as good as this 😀

I've had a few Capris in the past up to 3,000 cc. They're great cars to drive but when your getting on a bit (a lot?) like me they are a pig to get in and out of. I love this car but hate that spoiler on the boot lid (did you change the pistons to hold the hatch up due to extra weight?). £18000? yes I know prices of almost all classics have sky rocketed in the last few years...particularly Fords like Mk1/2 escorts fetching £45k etc lol. Sadly, the way the worlds heading, you wont be able to drive this in 5 years! and it'll be worth next to nothing which is a terrible shame.

Working on a Mk 4 RS for a client that currently runs 240 hp and will soon be running more. Full-body restoration is my "part" of the process. Engines gone off to be "breathed on" elsewhere. That ^^ is a cracking looking MK1 - absolutely stunning car. I do like a fast Ford..

what a beautiful escort and a brilliant owner too, the two of them were made for eachother 👍👍. My grandad had a bottle green mk1 escort and when he took me with him when i was 4 to trade it in i cried and refused to leave the car! Ive never owned an old sporty escort but they are definitely one of the standout memories of growing up in the late 70s and throughout the 80s, superb stuff! great video too 👍👍👍

FairPlay young man can see you don’t like the camera in your face but you’re giving it a go and you sound as though you’ve done you’re homework as obviously you won’t remember these cars on the road in great numbers 👍 great video I’ll subscribe and watch the channel grow

Finley's Car Care thats nice car too. Mine firts escort was white xr3i and that was in 2005 and I drove it until some asshole rear ended me 2012. I so enjoyed in that car, so many good memories :). Now I drive BMW E30 who I love so much. But that escort was my first car and it was so good car with handling and everything. You just keep that one cos its in mint condition and enjoy in it every day cos todays car will never be like cars from 80's.
