Episode 188 - Dave's STUNNING Mk4 Ford Escort RS Turbo!

The sun is shining and the temperatures are rising! So, we get in the shaded area of Dave and Cherie Gascoigne's garage, and have a close look at a couple of Dave's projects.
He has a Escort RS1600i that he's steadily restoring to its former glory, and track-spec Toyota Yaris that has circled the Nurburgring more times than a lot (lol). However, he also has his main attraction for this particular video - his absolutely glorious Mk4 Escort RS Turbo!
It was rotten in quite a few places, but being a car restorer by trade, Dave's determination to make a stunning and very unique vehicle became very apparent to me and Reggie. It was a privilege to go and see the car, and for us both to have a ride-out in it.
We certainly enjoyed the day out. We hope you enjoy our film.

Great looking Escort and a great pivot for your emerging site Jimmy ! Do more of these car reviews ! I really enjoyed that post. Its really great too see a regular bloke having restored a worthy car. Get some Capri Owners interested and some more visits !! Brilliant ! Great to see Reggie as always ! Growing like a weed !

Thank you Eamo. It is a fab car, isn't it? Credit to Dave for all the work he's done. Yeah, I'm definitely wanting to do more videos like this. It just adds another dynamic to the channel. Glad you liked it. Thanks again and all the best back to the USA from me and Reggie. ❤

Lovely rs that

It's so nice mate. The video does not do it justice. Dave's done a cracking job with it.

Looking mint

[@jimmykneesall]

She's a cracking car, ain't she? Well worth the hard work that Dave's put into restoring her.

Fantastic I have one Rs turbo from 1986 in black , never going to be sell ❤

[@jimmykneesall]

Very nice Paul. You tend not to see many in black, so definitely worth keeping it if you're still enjoying it. We're the same with our Capri. Dave's car really is very, very nice.

Nice

Cheers buddy. It's a cracker, isn't it?

The little mans world will all be electric, nice RS but I'm not keen at all on that colour for some reason.

It should be Mercury grey not Nardo Grey 👍

[@G4RY1159]

@@thecarguychannel Heard the owner say it was mercury grey. Thanks again.

[@thecarguychannel]

@@G4RY1159 No that’s not original Ford Mercury Grey at all. Look online and you will see what I mean.

[@G4RY1159]

@@thecarguychannel Cross Wires here fella, I'm just saying I don't like or feel that car suits that colour, purely "IMO" it should be White or Red. ✌

I think David built the car for himself, not anyone else!
