The Mk 1 Escort from hell! Australia's best?
Might be a re-post.....I think it's bloody aweasome. This is a unique style that come right out of Australia....there'a dreaded bit of Autosalon influence, the Japanese drift influence and then there's the factory rally twist too....all up I think it works well, and looks mean and classy at the same time. I'd happily park this in my dream garage next to the original works Mk 1 anyday.  RJ P.S. - Pic was taken at the recent Supernats at Oran Park

I too would have this escort parked in my garage ! Love the colour, that style of rim suits the lines of the car, possibly a bit too much dish on the rear but still looks the goods !  Aaron

Had been waiting for someone to put ROH Modenas on a escort remember seeing them in the flesh at Summernats years ago.
I'd have it as it sits.

I prefer the white,
To me the silver looks like a bad photoshop attempt with stupudily oversize rims.. not a fan.

^^^^^^^I'm happy with your opinions[;^)] This means if the car ever came up for sale....and I had enough cash, I'd have two less chaps to fight for it over[88][88] No seriously, I know it's a car that's an aquired taste....but as far as extreme road going versions of the mighty Mk 1 Escort, credit where credit is due......I think might be what we would call the ragged edge of insanity. I guess it if was a twin turbo V8....then it might be over the top RJ

Tough as, I really like it. At a different camera angle and with the bonnet down it may appeal to more people?

This car is absolutely stunning in the flesh. There is no area that has not been modified or enhanced in some way. You will be drooling for hours if you get to see it in person, a credit to the owner.
