There's another arched Mk1 in silver getting around too. Think it changed hands on my105 late last year / earlier this year. Had Superlites on it & powered by a worked pinto. Seller wanted $30k for it. Rare colour, but looks great.

You'll see it soon in Classic Ford Mag![;^)]

P.S. - I think the only way of improving this car is to see it sideways under full power going around the outside of a Porsche at a track somewhere!

Possibly another reason to stop buying the mag Nothing Classic about it especially if it doesn't have a proper engine Danny

you can only feature so many Escorts with minilites with pintos running carbs on them gets a bit boring after a couple of years

joeyjonsey im with you on that atlewast this ahs some shine to it. its diffrent and not the same as every other escort out there. Every escort owner is to pure nothing wrong with modern parts on an old car.

That makes me want to put bubble arches on my MK1 and slap a snail on the side of my Pinto. Good work George Cant wait to see the other one. I'm with Lucas. you get sick of seeing the same old mods done to Escorts. They will eventually run out of Cosworth boat anchors.[88]

I like it. Wher did he get those wheels? what size are they? its so hard to find 4 bolt ford spaceing 4 x 108mm wheels in the bigger sizes. I am after a set of at least 8 or 9 by 18 any body help me with a dealer in OZ (thats not overthe top on there prices) that can supply them in 4 x 108mm.
