yeah the car used to belong to adrian woods and like you said was a full blown drag car running flat 11's back in the 90's with a supercharged pinto motor. it had a much bigger bonnet scoop with the same blue stripe on it.
i aim to supercharge my new motor once i have the funds and take her to the drags see what she'll do. hopefully it'll be in a magazine again, someday

Nah I don't know where it lives now. When we had a look at it it was just a shell with no driveline. But from memory it had a hilux diff to go with it. They guy selling it also said he had a Cosworth motor "stored away safely"

hey mate, would like to say that you have one nice mk1 there.
was just woundering what kind of seat that ypu have in your Escort, cause they look like they would hold you in very good.
and why do all the good Escort's have to be in different states, you dont see very many Escort's in brisbane, always somewhere els.
cheers
