That car lived just off Odessa Drv in Woodcroft for a while, didn't see it alot though. But I was told it was a turbo'd 1600 as my mates girlfriend lived across the road, he also had a Mk1 Escort Im pretty sure. Not sure how this lines up with Sundowners mates car? if it sposed to be the same or a very similar one. Either way I look forward to seeing this one in pics above in real life. Rhys #13
