LivingLifeFast That Escort looks really nice it's a very clean example, great video mate keep up the good work!

[@nickmeyrick7213]

LivingLifeFast brilliant as always , I part xd my m5 comp pack for a c63 Coupé ( only because the value was dropping like a stone ) and I like it , any way my father is working in Dubai and has been for 44 years lol but I gotta pick up his McLaren 720 wen it gets shipped, so u want to do a review on it

[@grantcampbell1267]

How much did u want a shot of that bad boy LLF?

[@rossmoore5364]

Fairly new to your channel. Loving the content. Good work. 👍🏼

Owner seems like a really decent dude. Great story behind the car too. I’m sure his dad was pleased when he got it. 👍🏻

[@Bikefreak1991]

This is a car with a soul and he decide to show up what he get from his Dad ! I own a 2.5 mk2 mondeo ghia with st Bodykit Ford make so much quality these days...

[@zaink7037]

Agree man, looks like a humble guy. Looks like Ford havent changed with their large lists of optional extras. I'm surprised the cossy had AC and a passenger airbag as an extra. My mk6 fiesta zetec s comes as standard with AC and airbags but theres loads of other optional extras including red dashboard, electric mirrors, part leather or full leather seats, climate control, tinted rear windows etc. Makes it a little harder searching for the right one with the right specs

[@wilf18]

Sorry about your Dad Nice car.

[@mikeesparrow]

Ricky hitting those hints!😆 “So is it nice to drive?”, “what does it handle like?”. You gimme jokes Rick. Love the channel bro!

[@Ghvxddf]

Damn got a little emotional hearing about his dad. There’s always a story behind a car, I’m sure the car will always bring you joy and reminders of your dad. My dad uses to be in the police force and he was a traffic cop. The cosworth was stolen a lot back in those days and whenever the car was in full flow he said it was impossible to catch

[@LeiaCake]

Really sorry to hear about your father. It’s a beautiful car, I used to lust after these back in the day!

[@RDR1456]

Rip the old man!... raised his kid well! God bless.

[@TheRealBleach]

The wing never gets old

[@gorgeousal2410]

Or those 5 spokes.

[@bogstandard1216]

Lost my old man to cancer too. Richard’s expression at 2.49 is that moment when you talk about it and try to keep down how much it hurts. Big love my man. What a stunning car... a landmark of automotive history right there!

[@hondacivictyperep328]

I was not expecting him to let you drive. I love driving but I wouldn’t want to drive a car that means so much to its owner. Props to the owner.

[@derekwhittle1885]

Love that 99% of the comments on the LLF channel are positive and respectful. Ricky is doing something right 👍👍👍

[@GB-dp5bs]

I have a soft spot for these old fords. My mum had an xr3i when i was a young lad. Oh the memories. Your content is second to none bro. Thankyou 👍

[@ashday1413]

The people you introduce to this channel are what make it great. Down to earth, petrol heads who respect each other. Love the scene thanks to LLF!

[@lagcossy7354]

Spot on petrol head heaven

[@daddysmith1376]

What a cracking little escort, you can't beat old school for that no nonsense no safety net driving. Top bloke as well👍

[@SteveDaveAllan]

My grandads friend had one when I was little and the first time I went in it my love for cars was born. Glad this guy owns one as you can tell it all stay on the road. Your dad will be up there watching you enjoy what u deserve. Great video as per usual. Thank you ricky

[@JB-F10-M5]

Love the car and connected with the story straight away as I lost my dad with Cancer this year ✊🏼🙏🏽 one love

[@QandBVlogs]

Sorry to hear pal 🙌🏽

[@kyiannasheppard2814]

Stay strong brother

[@JB-F10-M5]

G .west thank you guys ✊🏼

[@jamesbadham3872]

good initials you got there JB lol. i lost my dad back in september too, hes the reason i got into cars, and he allowed me to have my first fast ford.

[@JB-F10-M5]

James Badham I’m sorry for your loss mate ✊🏼🙏🏽

[@muhammad07954]

This cossy is mint for its age well looked after..

[@porkyturner272]

I saw a escort cosy about 6 months ago a white one in Wigan I had just had a tooth pulled out mouth full of blood ect and it was sat at the traffic lights looking cool . It made my day lol Fck my tooth just seen a escort cosy on the road .

[@rebel1052k]

Sorry about your Dad bro. My Dad left me his motorcycle so I know that sentimental feeling.

[@MrMichaelConstantine]

Sorry for your loss, what bike did he leave you?

[@rossmonkhouse6028]

An icon that still looks fresh today . Love the way it squats under acceleration,class.

[@jackl24]

Been my dream car since I was 12 now coming up 32 and still don't own one but defo not giving up amazing car

[@benjanes69]

What a gent!the smile on his face wen he gives it a bit is priceless!👍 great vid again Ricky!

[@uptheduffagain]

This is what a proper RS should look like,BIG wing,BIG arches,BIG vents and it can't be mistaken for anything else. Unlike the latest Focus RS that looks dull as dishwater and blends into a carpark like any other run of the mill car.

[@mmeroca]

@D C most likely because of emissions... car companies cant do anything anymore without having to go against thousands of boring rules

[@peterolley7159]

What a memory this car brings to me , raving and proper little fellas and cars like this driving around that was just a dream to own and never reality !

[@davh2141]

I grew up looking at these in awe! seeing the local police driving them was some sight!

[@fastlanediaries6593]

A lovely back story and a lovely guy. Who can dislike this video? A wonderful example and once again great content Rikki 🔥🔥🔥

[@Simonsmith336]

“You can optionally save your life!!”😂Great video.Great car

[@andyw3152]

Lovely car, so glad this chap was able to buy this. This is a car from the day of lightweight nimble cars. 220bhp in the day was massive. No, that power comes in a family saloon. Good work Ricky for showing this classic.

[@Graeme566]

One of the nicest looking cars ever made them. Love them.

[@FelixIsMyName]

Real Unicorn Ford. I remember in my teens in the 90's seeing one of these and just being amazed at how awesome they were.

[@blackfalcon1992]

I don't know if anyone else thinks this, but why are there not more channels out there like LLF ?!?! In a YT car community flooded with the same Audi RS's and BMW 140i videos, it's so refreshing to see old school Cossi's, Megane RS's and Caterham's, different stuff is what I am saying. Not a hater of fast german cars at all, I drive one myself, but it's just good to see a bit more diversity from the same old, buy expensive car, do exhaust, it's louder, why I sold my (insert car here), buy's new car videos. As a true car lover, you learn to appreciate all markets, American, German, Japanese ect. Just wish more YT's like LLF showed off some of these old gems!!

[@AdamHickman78]

Totally agree and loving the diverse cars both new and old. Now after this cossie video I would love to see a Lotus Carlton.

[@lewis72]

Harry's Garage ?

[@ukfirebird]

@@lewis72 Harry's Garage, Jay Leno 's Garage and LLF are the only 3 car channels i watch,.

[@p9917j]

Amazing colour, never seen it before. All the ones I saw back in the day were the bright blue. What a lovely genuine bloke too. If ever there was an example of a car that means more than the sum of its part's, here it is.

[@davidd4677]

First off, great backstory for the car. It has to mean so much more coming from his late father. It's a fantastic car and that factory roof spoiler looks incredible. Well done bringing this Cosworth edition to the channel Ricky!!

[@jonosmith4919]

Respect my Dad died when I was 16 cancer in 1984 we love are FORDS ,loving the channel Mr LLF. x

[@maximus5384]

Literally loved this car as a boy growing up! An icon to the hot hatches! 👍 for keeping the car in original spec...! Lovely looking motor!

[@LeoTheGermanRottweiler]

Lovely car and owner looks a real nice guy too. Hope he keeps the car for years to come

[@Nevakonaza.]

I like the fact that its not loud and screaming,that small turbo is a nice mix of sporty and comfort.

[@CalMUK91]

I never knew these were that young... not sure why but I always thought these were early 90's. Makes my mk1 Audi S3 look odd as its near the same age! Yet my 20 year old S3 has xenon headlights, full climate control, cruise control, heated leather seats, electric folding mirrors, Bose sound system etc. Mad!

[@ScrotusXL]

Love the comment about the cooling tank!😂 I love this reverential approach to keeping the performance car classics, stock. Top bloke, top car. Love the emotional family connection too👍

[@denzel1989]

Was fortunate to be in 2 of these back in 97, having seen one since absolute beasts.

[@essendoubleO.P]

These were the cars I wish I was old enough to drive when they used to tear up and down the place back in the day. Real nice fella as well. Taking that car out at the weekend is one of the coolest things I can think of that would keep the memories of your Dad in your thoughts man.

[@abskale570]

if i was him i would never sell it... Quality video again Ricky.

[@tabsh2528]

Another amazing classic car! Big up to the driver to showing us his pride and joy. A real investment, will only go up in price.

[@adamcarter382]

Keep the old classics coming!! This escort cosworth is immense

[@CmdrStukov]

Absolutely fantastic. Love how clean it is too. Keep em coming Ricky! 👊🏾

[@LivingLifeFastLLF]

👊🏾👊🏾

[@MattWilliams482]

Nice to see an older classic on the channel. My dream car back in 90s, only ever seen one on the road before.

[@justdevz36]

Another Cossie on the channel, love it 👍🏻

[@russellclark1978]

Great vid Ricky. Respect to the man with 2 Cossies - Soooo cool. The Escort Cossie brings back memories for me. When they were first launched, my aunt (who is no longer with us) worked for a Ford dealer. Her knowing, even back then as a young lad, that I am mad on cars, especially Ford's, took me down her dealership as they had one in the showroom!

[@nepaleseman1010]

Even in 2018 the Escort Cosworth holds its own. A really nice example and a great video.

[@Phil-1969]

Fantastic motor Richard Really looks mint , great to see classics on the channel Ricky

[@sensei9213]

beautiful car, sorry for the loss of your father 🤙🏽🙏🏽

[@AN-ur8qe]

What a nice guy and a superb classic car! I love this channel and just how cool everyone is in the comments! Ricky should be proud because I would comfortably say as a car enthusiast and massive petrol head that this is the best automotive vlog and this page will be huge one day in the not too distant future!

[@QandBVlogs]

Bringing old school to the masses !!! Love it Ricky! 👌🏽💪🏽🙌🏽

[@adamhoedt]

Pure classic beautiful cossie.This is real driving machine no electronics like this days only driver skills.Great example love it.

[@twitchyn6467]

Hell of a parting gift from his old man, beautiful car. Top bloke.

[@MaxSpeedMike]

This is mad. Such a unique car. I have never seen one of these before.

[@denzel1989]

Iv been in 2 back in 97 never forget fastest car I've been in.

[@Kenzothebully]

You don’t no what a cozzy is damn!!! 🤦‍♂️

[@sighfly2928]

@Chris 1983 he didn't say he doesn't know what it is, just that he's never seen one.

[@stichupman]

@Chris 1983 if he's American they don't get them there so that could be why.

[@MaxSpeedMike]

Guys, I said I have not seen one. I didn't say I've never heard of one. I haven't gotten the opportunity to drive and review one because we don't get them here in the states.

[@simonmark9387]

Fantastic old school motor, fantastic new school presenter. Great content and a lovely story behind the ownership!!!!

[@duggyfresh2952]

The variety of cars is what sets this channel apart from the others, and Ricky is da man too.

[@tomwaddell4888]

best car ford have ever made

[@peternufc1981]

Rs cosworth 4x4 sapphire for me ha

[@umarthomas4428]

Gt is bad either...

[@stichupman]

Rs200 is pretty sick

[@twincammike8329]

Well.. it was cosworth in Germany that made these cars the only thing Ford made on it was the badge... and engine block...

[@TheCooperman666]

@@peternufc1981 i had the Sierra XR4i back in the day it was a beast in the 90's

[@kitler01]

What a motor loving these old school cars 👌

[@lucasino8]

Sorry about your dad mate. Really nice car! The interior still looking crisp after so many years is amazing. Nice to see a "normal" car on your channel Rick! Sad you didn't get to drive it though.m

[@SGM805]

An old mate had a new one of these when they first rolled of the production line, and let me drive it, is a fantastic car I still remember it with affection, there selling for a lot of money now(£91,995 on ebay for a new example with 6000 miles) Like he said he also likes & wants to get the Focus RS MK2 I bet that’s a blast, and no doubt the MK3 as well

[@karlpatten5114]

For anyone in their mid to late 30's this car is the daddy! Would love a nice clean one like this.

[@Jamie7ee]

What a car! 😍 they don’t make em like they used to! 👊🏻

[@tomogden6213]

I love the escort cossy my dream car as a kid I had a massive poster in my wall!! Respect to Richard for keeping stock and another great vid Ricky 👊🏻👊🏻👏🏻

[@ashleyfellows3454]

I got picked up from shool in one of these when i was 16 for my birthday and im 28 now, since that day its been my dream car i love it. Nice car mate.

[@SC0TTRS]

Worked on one with 350bhp back years ago. Always remember the test drive after (longest one I ever did) and thinking at the time, I never wanted to drive back! lol awsome car, power was so aggressive! Will always love the RS Cosworth's!

Use to hate that car cuz of the stereotypes but it's a serious classic now.. Respect ...

[@PyroNut94]

Great to see this car Ricky, I’ve loved these cars since I was about 3, I’ve always played with the cast toys when I was younger and still love them to this day! Great content again and what a cracking example, nice to see a genuine owner aswell who takes pride in his car 👍🏼

[@turkeyman345]

What a nice bloke and a lovely car !

[@aaronturner6476]

been watching for a while now and the escort cosworth is the best one by far. love the cossies Sierra cosworth is my dream car!

[@Addouk]

A very humble, honest and genuine guy! Great to see another special and highly maintained classic car again on this channel. Keep doing what you're doing & very glad to see it paying off for the channel also

[@trackerman7841]

Ricky I wouldn't let you drive it either bro. These are becoming priceless are irreplaceable nowadays. The Cossie will always be king.

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

A nice 'real' video on a rare classic Ford! 😊 Love these Cosworths...!!! 👌

[@Jakesmith-tv3ln]

My dad had an Aubergine one back in 2015 that was set up to rally, really drivable and comfy car for what it is. Pulls really nice too, went all the way from Sheffield to Santa Pod and it never missed a beat, wish we didn’t have to get rid of it.

[@Saif0412]

Would love to drive one, sounds good and still looks fast. Never seen one in the flesh in uk, they really are rare.

[@Gw0wvl]

What an absolutely Gorgeous motor , Sorry to hear about your Dad matey .... Best wishes from South Wales .

[@bradjones5132]

Ricky already at 133k subs. Seems like only a few weeks ago you hit 100k. Channel starting to gain rapid growth.

[@martinsmith577]

They look so good on the road! I fully understand the dilemma and urges to not modify engine wise. To keep its originality and value and then also owning one and not being tempted to go all out and really bring the car to life. For me it would come down to weather I’m keeping it for life or had plans to sell in the future.

[@itzJKB]

iconic car , owner has a real connection with it to, makes it even more special

[@TheZ3roCool]

Never forget getting my Escort 1.8 Si when I was 17. Got dropped by one of these just showing me who was boss! Loved them ever since :) Great vid, great car :D

Thanks again Ricky for bringing us top quality content 😎

[@jamesmartin3493]

Another one of my favorites that I wish they can bring over to the states

[@tonyw3250]

My first comment on your channel, I put a body shell on a smashed one back in the day and sprayed it Mallard Green/Blue. great car wish I had one, but I do have a trick MK1 Cortina with a 4AGE and a slightly hotted MK3 RS Focus so I should be happy, but we always want more lol. Keep up the good work and do more classics like this love it.

[@jezevans8697]

Stunning motor and a nice guy ….. in my opinion the best real world car made
