if your planning on selling that mate dont sell it for a regular mk1 price,, the 4 door 1600 is quite rare,, you could get an extra grand or two for it, if its in good nick that is

[0290bob]

nice car, sounds like a beast.

[LIP15]

@NiGhtMarEs0nWax

EXACTLY what law? Details - section what of what act etcetc?

[navdrum001]

@LIP15 Making a clear effort to drive sideways does not go down well with police...i know this first hand on my way back from Santa pod a few months back....my excuse of new shoes went down like a shit sandwich too!!

[dhmtnbikeman]

"haha u wankor" lol good job mate, very nice esky too

[tozo89]

[MOODYSCOOBY]

i want to restore a mk1 or mk2 but so hard to find a shell

[landamqabba]

@MOODYSCOOBY come in malta and i ll find you more than one :P

[MOODYSCOOBY]

@landamqabba what a 2door tidy shell thats right hand drive

[landamqabba]

@MOODYSCOOBY in malta we drive on the correct side of the road and do not have snow so they are right hand drive and have less rust besides maltese are selling a lot of classics to britain btw i have an escort mk1 and my brother has another one and i know of around 3 that are for sale so i can find you escorts ;) ps my brother s ain t for sale mine i m not sure if i have a good offer i might sell

[puraajhayaap]

@MOODYSCOOBY Hey I have one. the body is in immaculate condition.. but its in Nepal.... Southeast Asia... its a right hand drive... made in England. Umm... 1979-82 model ? not sure, forgot. RWD. alot of memory filled car... and its very very tough, and easyyyyy to fix, no electrical bullshits like on Japanese datsuns and toyotas. Sweet little engine... had pistons replaced bout 14-15 years ago.. Bad thing is.. Nepal isn't connected with ocean or sea.. : ( I hope to get rich someday and tune it.

[MrSoundFinder1]

@MOODYSCOOBY mate, my dad has a tubbed and seam welded rolling shell wid fiberglass mexico bell flares and fiberglass bonnet too. im in nz but maybe, just maybe it could be arranged? 1969 MK1 and a very honest 1 lady owner before our ownership. um, we were gonna defile it by putting a 13b innit.... she needs a good home

[cturner93]

haha, legend. what power is she kickin out.

[TheeBaker]

Fucking awesome lad! 5/5

[xbfalcon351coupe]

In the states there's Dynacorn who do mustangs, camaro's etc. and I've heard they're looking at doing some aussie cars too - might be worth dropping them a line? you never know, Escorts are popular world wide (compared to the amount of aussie bodies they'd sell) - might be a profitable thing for them..

[cosmicrayturbo]

Nice one! Someone on here allready mentioned it, but I cant understand why Heritage shells dont produce a shell. Even a 2 door with a 1300 is fetching big £s. The rally boys would snap them up straight away.

[boXXercos]

agreed! if the MG boys can have them, why cant we? they would sell for big bucks too!

[andykordin]

@boXXercos how much money does an mk1 cost...because where i live you can buy a perfect condition one for less than a 1000 euro

[andykordin]

@boXXercos how much money does an mk1 cost...because where i live you can buy a perfect condition one for less than a 1000 euro.

an we have lots of them!!!!

[theschuminator]

@andykordin where do you live?



[andykordin]

@theschuminator malta :)

[oxb1l]

Cool , was out in my

Mk2 at the weekend with my son and I was admiring a roundabout looks in the mirror and there's my mates mk1 mex full side on

Lovin it ! OSF rules

[FooolishBlad]

boy must have bottle sliding a MK1 to that standard

[pliablemammal]

Whats your setup?

[DominicSantiago123]

mate did you go up to the ford fair in silverstone this year i went it me dads 2.8i capri but the mk1 escort is my dream car loving the olympic blue and rs2000 stripes :)

[scootarooter]

nice man

[bangertaylor]

mk1 & mk2 escort two of the best cars ever made. love this video m8.. ford should start making shells again...

[kevrs2]

i doubt if ford would ever make body shells for these great cars ,but i am surprised ,that no one else has,after all its not as if there wouldn't be a market for them ,they would fly off the shelves ,i think it is total madness that here is a market ,and no one wants to fill it

[cubatime72]

Good effort, Mk 1's where never meant to go in a straight line anyway :-)

[boXXercos]

Exactly Mate, lol

[13radz]

@cubatime72 yep got to agree if they where meant to go in straiht lines they wouldnt be rear wheel drive

[boXXercos]

Cheers all

[kevrs2]

THAT car is class wow!!!

[Fuxup222]

escorts are the Bo***ks (in a good way)

[mikemike123ify]

is that coming back form santa pod

[superScholesy]

what a car iv got a 02 scooby wrx but the 70s and 80s (rwd) cars look so much fun 8-)

[turbomaster4]

Hi, awesome drifting. What engine r u running??

[nellyracer22]

Freakin sweet!!! Great control mate.

[gazmcfaza]

that's very good control! Especially seeing as that road looks quite wet too. Do you know if the handbrake was used to get the tail out or did the driver just flick the wheel to lose grip?

[ripproofrip]

jus flick out the back and put ur foot 2 the matt

[S1rst]

Nice, how much more fun would the 70's and 80's of been?

[andycole321]

i really want one of these thats rally tuned but they are too expensive i think the are like 15-20k

[gazovbolton07]

no there are not that much

[stiggywiggywoo]

there nt that expensive but they are goin up in price :(

[andy2626]

that escort sounds quality hope mine sounds that good when im finished with it

[lukerm199]

nice drift,those cars are amazing

[aussieskiff]

Right sonny I've got you're reg no ...And you're fucking nicked !!! ..seriously,up that no plate if you're going to post on here fun police will ave ya..Got a mk1 mex myself, and you've just inspired me to pull my finger out and finish it ..Nice vid

[adam281283]

Sweet , for a car that should be on antiques roadshow...LOL , take it they were mikeys terrible trainers at the start....LOL love it

[CRF250RGUY]

Respect to that car and that driver

[joshatc70]

i definately like this!

[asher666]

reminds me of the scene from the new dukes of hazzard movie... top driving and loving the ol' escort - What engine etc you running m8, dosn't sound like a crossflow to me!? 5/5

[KERNOWHAM123]

[BeeeAitchPeee]

Can`t fault a single word you said there Oldskool is kool. As im `76 vintage meself

[wakawakawuwi]

really lots of stuff were being done a lot of years ago . i live in malta and i got pictures of my dad driting an anglea on hill climbs ......and the motor cross bikes that they fit road tires to and do sort of drifting on bikes .. my FRIENDS ( theyre a bit older than me) use to do that . no one showed them how or senn it somwhere they were just crazy and did it

[0800dickheads]

@vestax1974 drifting has been around since the wheel, nobody can take credit for inventing drifting. It's just that jap cars are built better suited to drifting these days

[ThugBear2005]

Every time that car comes around I get afraid for the cameraman's life.

[boXXercos]

why?

[ThugBear2005]

I'm not trying to insult your driving skills if that's what you're wondering. It's just you are getting very close to him.

[lh04rej]

how much £

[L3g4cyTT]

Beautiful mate :) good to see the car being driven as it should!

[Alex1Palfreyman]

wow

[sspanzer]

Beautiful car lucky you.

[bombonit]

goos effort.... got guts to drift such a nice escort..... an your fuckin nuts leavin a motor on the round about!!!! every time he comes round the corner it looks like the cars guna straighten up an!!!! practice makes perfect!!!

[thespeedengineer]

One of the best little vids i have seen on here, dont know why but it just really just makes me want to drift....

[MiniMagic1]

very nice car, dnt fuck it up doing something stupid.

[boXXercos]

yeah, quaife straight cut and 190hp vulcan engineering pinto.

[scottiemorris]

what ratio's are you using and what final drive lsd/type? i'm seriously considering buying one just wondering what you would recomend for street use but also a little track

[boXXercos]

4.1 diff, and its a plate type Tran-x LSD. Well worth the money (about £600)

[0v3rd0seh]

Bugger me that's got some grunt. Nicely done - more info on the car?

Sounds like it's got a straight cut gearbox, but I'm probably spouting bollocks, lol.

[radiostarcountry]

how do you explain to the police officer your faceing the wrong way around a roundabout...lol nuffin

[boXXercos]

This was about the first week i had the car running, lol. And there was a SERIOUS amount of diesel on that corner facing the camera. only span once mind you :P

[kevmk2]

Cool, will have to get the reading mssive over to Lakeside one saturday night this summer, that would be the nuts!

[kevmk2]

Nice one, bit of left foot braking would of stopped you spinning out ; )

[Ali4994]

very nice car and control.

5 stars

[robbo2009]

nice car mate
