Ford MK2 Escort 1600 sport with a 2.0 BDG engine 250bhp++ *RALLYCAR ENGINE* BDA

[@PaulDoldenDetails]

As soon as that loud pedal gets pressed the whole world smiles what a incredible build stunning 🤩

[@Veloce2000]

I can understand the craze for these old Escorts. You dont hav to break the speed limit to put a smile on ye face, good old skool motoring!!! ❤

[@paulbrown6554]

After them pulls I think I’ve just messed my pants. Funny how an engine noise can make a 51 year old man go all weak at the knees beautiful car takes me back to my escort days

[@lolacaitlin]

One of the best sounding four cylinder engines ever made 👌👌👍👍

[@inlimbo6019]

the rip off that engine and exhaust,takes you right back to the eighties... i'm sitting here grinning from ear to ear lol

[@Bonsall3]

🙌🏻

[@F40Sean]

I had a concours Mk2 RS Mexico a few years ago in Venetian Red, the standard 1600 Pinto in that was a lot less fun than the stunning BDG in this beautiful 1600 Sport though !! This car has to be the best 1600 Sport in the country for me

[@performanceclassics1986]

Thats got to be one of the best sounding Escorts I’ve heard. Bloody outstanding. If money was no object. I can dream 🤣

[@madeljacky]

18:04 thats what puts a smile on my face

[@vaughanmcmillan1815]

Your reaction says it all. What an absolute machine of a car Sounds fantastic!

[@DARKCYDE93]

Incredible car. Absolutely wicked engine. Nothing compares to a well sorted old skool ford.

[@MegaReddevil71]

There's something very special about a bd engine no other engine sounds so sweet

[@normannippy8471]

Now that's a really tidy car

[@DanA-zx8jc]

Had a look round this car at oulton park track day last november , very nice car and owner had no qualms showing us inside and under the bonnet 👍

[@mitchelledwards8710]

I been watching this Mk2 for a while now. I’m absolutely in love with it .just Stunning Mate thanks for making a Film about it 👍

[@peteyscarantics9047]

Now that's what I call a proper old school car, naturally aspirated sounds awesome and geared right to put the power down👌 top job!!👍

[@iqsaanamod8503]

Wow...the best escort I've heard I'm all the way from south Africa currently building a MK2 escort with a pinto hope to get it to sound great

[@tricksmoke]

What a stunning build and sound that engine makes is unmatched by any other engine. Hope you have as much fun driving it as the rest of us have in hearing it !! BDG FTW.

[@djmossssomjd8496]

Beautiful Escort! Strangely though, it's still registered as a 1600 and no MOT?

[@panagiotisnikoloudakis4949]

Proper sound ❤

[@DSGMATT]

That’s a stunning MK2 in all the right ways, gunning it down Shotton and Deeside 😊

[@juergenwinter8378]

Back in the late 70is i owned a 1302 sports edition mk2 escort and a few years later a 1602 sports edition with special shock absorbers..., very good good cars to drive..., and very fast for its days..!!!

[@1979phill]

probably the best mk2 escort build in the last 10 years.

[@benbirch2393]

Agreed. And I've seen a few

[@1979phill]

@@benbirch2393 that makes 2 of us

[@jackjames567]

I’ve watched this more times than i care to admit 😂

[@killachief187]

That's why I love my 1998 ford escort gti it just puts a smile on my face. You two looked well happy nice vid great car.

[@81shawy]

The sound of that engine 😍

[@Oxygen_Thief]

It's clean af and sounds amazing

[@leepugh8186]

Mk2s were made to go sideways. Back in the day I had an ex tarmac rally one. Things was that low I parked it on my lawn and when I backed it out it left a trench line from the diff. Awesome car. Wish I knew then what they be worth today.

[@Baz79H]

Unbelievable motor , absolutely love mk2’s , to watch this video put headphones on and crank up the volume 😎👌👌👌👍

[@Wigglesway]

Christ that shifts! What a sound from that engine 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@JACKSPEED_TV]

That engine bay 😍 And that sound 💯

[@jorren1000]

The noise of a bdg 🥳. When my street mk2 is painted i go millington or bdg. I like the millington but there is something about the bdg noise and the carbs.

[@benbirch2393]

BDG

[@wayneevans8196]

No other engine sounds as great as that. My claim to fame is I sold Andy the bootlid on this car!

[@adamweston4152]

That's one sweet car, I'm honestly green with envy!! ,I wish I'd kept my MK2 but in 1991 they were 2 a penny...oh well..I can still dream about having one!😉👍

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

One of those cars that just gets better with age, can't lose with one

[@bakedbeanzontoast9078]

I had a 1979 Escort 1600 Sport when I was in the RAF in the mid 80's it was in a bright orange red colour, with the blacked out chrome trim and quarter bumpers on the front, one of my favourite cars I ever owned .👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@jixuscrixus1967]

There were two ‘oranges’ 78 signal orange then Venetian red, Signal red and Terracota…

[@Rwhitsitt11]

Beautiful build.....Timeless..

[@andyday1981]

Definitely one of the best mk2s out there in my opinion, love it.

[@barryherron5351]

MINT!! I love the sound of a high revving car, bet that car would take on many modern hot hatches no bother.

[@steves_escort_mk2654]

Awesome video guys that is probably one of my favourite mk2s on Instagram love seeing it

[@robertplues4661]

Stunning love it a mk2 by far is the best sound in the Forrest

Amazing neat tidy engine bay

[@alibongo1028]

Beautiful Mk11 man, you've just taken me back to my youth lol, that baby can rev, keep er lit man, respect.

[@MegaReddevil71]

People but vauxhall which is a no no in my opinion or cossie turbo in a escort but there's something very special about a bd engine

[@jamielearmonth1039]

just a suggestion maybe find a better quieter place for the intro chat with the owner next time as its hard to hear over the traffic in the background. lovely car, sounds epic. thanks for sharing.

[@benbirch2393]

Proper. Keep your Millingtons, your atlas axled cars etc, arches blah blah. This is peak escort.

[@Marcj86]

[@bonniedrasco8166]

Beautiful car, nice chap, start of the video had a little too much background noise but that’s easily sorted buddy, just don’t park beside a busy road, would really liked to have seen you drive it for your own real life review, fantastic though keep up the good work

[@DjNikGnashers]

Love it, great video, great car.

[@Davidwaters-]

That sound wicked.

[@eurotom288]

I think I’m correct in saying the BDA was a 1.8 lt engine which was fitted to the RS 1800 Escort.

[@jayrowley4720]

Love the sound and stance ,can’t beat a sorted mk2 enjoy 😉

[@l176dh]

I'd really like to build a MK2 but I live in Orlando, next time I'm in England I'm gonna Hunt for one.
