Ford are SOOO LATE to their own party!! 🤔 *BRAND NEW MK1 ESCORT*

[@RennayM]

I'm an old school Ford fan too. I paid 15 quid for my first knackered old non-runner MK1 Escort back in 1985 and pushed it home with help from 3 of my mates, and I absolutely loved it. These new things are right up my street too because now I'm a bit older and have a bit more disposable income, I'm becoming more interested in high class Escorts 😉

I collect records. When an old tune gets repressed, the original record holds it's exact value. People will buy the repress as it's cheaper, but collectors will still pay big money for the original. Classic cars must be the same. 👊🏻🚗

[@marcushayesford]

I see what you are saying, but a record doesn't cost as much to build as a car. The cost to build all these new Mk1s is way higher than what an original one is worth. 👍

[@johnwiththewind2950]

@marcushayesford My record collection is probably worth two as much as two decent Ford Escort mk1's. 👌🏻

[@marcushayesford]

@@johnwiththewind2950 That’s awesome! 👍 I have a record collection myself and I have enquired about selling them as a job lot, along with my DJ equipment. The hard fact is that although a lot of my records are ‘worth’ a lot individually, the market is small so I would have to sell them very cheap to actually make the sale.

I'm buying one for here in Ireland 🇮🇪

[@marcushayesford]

The new ones that are being revealed on the 12th???? Have you officially secured an allocation for one then mate??? 🤔

[@R6AAO]

Get ready for the price tag... Firstly you MUST be a member of an exclusive Boreham Motoring Club to get a sniff. Then the prices are unannounced but I reckon they will be in the few hundred grand each mark. They are ground up rebuilds in limited numbers so parts will be stupid expensive and repairs will be MFG only.

[@marcushayesford]

Most limited run cars nowadays are invite only, and by the time the general public see them, they are all already sold. I would assume that by the time the 12th December comes around, all these new Mk1s will be pre-sold. 👍

[@R6AAO]

I think the best we can hope for is to see one on a stand, in a garage or hopefully once in the wild.. Unless you want to go halves on a jail sentence for bank robbery?

Also the rs 200 among other icons on the way but there’s a waiting list along with a hefty price tag

[@marcushayesford]

Even the current RS200 kit cars that are already available are worth big money, so the new Boreham Motorworks ones are going to cost a fortune. 👍

[@shaungowler8909]

@ yes deffo the price of the kit cars are not cheap think there were a few company’s going still doing those used to be based on the sierra chassis even those are getting rarer now aswell mr2 chassis now used so I believe great channel enjoy this sort of tech chat on up and coming fords really not keen on the electric revolution but could be persuaded with maybe a Ford hyper rs electric brand if Ford are reading this I said it first 😎👍🏻

[@melvynwoodman5787]

I agree with most of what you say but personally I would like to see companies like MST go further and build their cars with fully structural carbon fibre body shells. That would make the huge prices seem a lot more worthwhile by ending the need to constantly repair the ravages of corrosion with a bonus of inherently better safety.

[@marcushayesford]

I do wonder though, if a carbon fibre chassis would stay structurally sound for 50 years (like some steel chassis have on survivor cars) I notice that MST's new X-Pack Escort (with its carbon panels) still has a mostly steel inner bodyshell and chassis. Garry Bull plans to one day build a full carbon shell'd Mk1, but this would of course have a TVR chassis or a space framed chassis. 👍

[@SteveReece-h4u]

Boreham built all the works cars and the escort is the most successful rally car ever built to be a escort it will either have Crossflow pinto or bda which were fitted originally

[@gimble447]

Yeah well Boreham obv under Ford license again, but yeah be interesting for sure bud, They will defo cost even more than MST cars I would think obv, but fingers crossed that they aren’t very limited numbers or you are talking atleast twice the price of an MST, if high enough number they might even be cheaper than MST, well we can hope I guess 😊 But yeah although I don’t mind these “ new” cars I personally am happier to stick to the originals, and the RS200 will defo be a fortune

[@marcushayesford]

I reckon realistically they will be marketed for collectors rather than enthusiasts, so they will be high price / low volumes. 👍

[@R6AAO]

They are in very limited numbers and you must be a member of a club for toffs.

[@R6AAO]

@marcushayesford they are going straight into the restomod/continuation markets.

[@gimble447]

@ yeah no doubt at all buddy, but we can but hope, they certainly won’t affect the cost of originals ( ie if they were mass produced and cost £35k brand new then it would affect the price of our original cars), but it’s never gonna be that, they will no doubt be a couple hundred grand plus when a top spec MST is £170k plus

[@gimble447]

@@R6AAO yeah I’ve no doubt that they’ll end up being low volume very high cost as Boreham don’t have the capacity to do anything else, just saying I’d love to be proved wrong in that assumption ( though I won’t 😆)

[@charleswatson7281]

Lets see what turns up.....I imagine this is just hype from a company using the Boreham "motorworks' promo to build Mk1 shells or full cars. Having seen the MST setup their cars are built from the ground up on jigs and panel by panel and really are superb bits of kit. For someone else to try and copy this process would be a huge challenge and I suspect it may be based on Chinese shells being turned into cars. Dont think Ford will have any involvement and what we've heard to date will just be promotion stuff.

[@timpeat286]

I agree with what you said mate about everything 👍🏻so there is going to be. Limited run of them which means big money , I think ford have realised there is big demand for the escorts and a lot of money to be made like Renault have brought out a Renault 5 but nothing like its predecessor and ev I hope they aren’t as much as mst cars and produce more and keep these legends on the road as they are worshipped by many and iam sure they will do a mk2 as I think they are more popular than a mk1 And more future plans for Boreham motor works is the Sierra Rs 500 too , I think iam looking forward to the 12 th more than the 25th Marcus 😁 great video mate

[@neill4133]

Like anything, classic or new, money talks. Pay your money, take your choice. I remember good RS2000s back in the 90s were the same price as a nice family Cavalier SRi. Sporty escorts have always commanded a big price tag

The RS Escorts defo seem to have held their value whilst the rest of the classic market is down at the moment. Maybe the bubble will never burst for RS cars?? 👍

I like the originals. I like Chinese shells. I like the MST, and the RSR - I like them all! The frustrating thing about all of it - 0 impact on reducing the price of these things 😂 unlimited Chinese shells...nope, still stupid money for a rot box 4 door shell and even more for a no floor in place no glass, no engine, no diff 3 door.

Thing is the boreham motorworks is the only official car that can use the ford name, RSR, MST & even a Higgins shells are not going to be fords on v5’s - even though Higgins shells are having identifies swapped. RS2’s etc are worth £40k and more as that’s what people are prepared to pay. Look at jags, 911’s, healeys etc, they’re all old tech. Retro power will build you one but it’s not a ford on the v5, horses for courses.

[@PS-ps8mo]

It wont have Ford on the V5 even if they have given this Boreham company a licence, the reason being if it is listed as Ford they are a large manufacturer and it could not go the low volume route to get it UK registered. All this company will be allowed to do is fix Ford badges to the cars once they have gone through IVA.

I'm still wondering if these are just going to be 'factory' restomods based on existing escorts. I read a headline a month or two ago saying that Land Rover were building new old defenders. Fantastic I thought.... Turns out they were just building factory restomods based on customer supplied cars. If they are building new cars it'll have to be down the low volume route like kit car manufacturers to avoid the full safety regs of the IVAs, maybe that's why it's going through another business name. I think it's currently 500 or less per year.
