The Millington engine just sounds as if it always wants to give, give and then give some more, absolutely wonderful - flat out and sideways you cannot beat it!!

I used to tire of the constant stream of escorts at rallies in the 80s. Now thank god I can still be reminded of the induction of these engines. God bless these guys for keeping it alive. Still should be manual gearboxes though!

6 years later and I miss my 1760 crossflow in my MK1 ...Emerald cam , twin 40s. Polished and ported head etc etc. 125 bhp at the wheels and it was rapid! Sierra 5 cog box to. Nowadays you hear the dull buuiurp and pop corn maps of Audi etc. stage 1 chip and it's like 500 +bhp. Blows my mind . But they got no soul!

They would never have caught the following they have in the UK nor would they have sold well, They're small and have small 4 cylinder engines, two things American car enthusiasts usually hate. In the land of the V8 these would likely be remembered as grocery getters and would probably all be scrapped now
@Turshin10 жыл бұрын
No not really. Not all Americans like battleship cars powered by v8's. The turbo revolution happened in the 80s in America. And I'm pretty sure this car would have been magic with an SVO Mustang turbo motor but with dual cams or a supercharged v6 from a Supercoupe or even the Yamaha v6 from the Taurus SHO.
@skeligandrew10 жыл бұрын
turshin Find me a car of this size and comparable engine that sold well in the USA. What you don't get is that these had CRAP power stock, nobody would have given this car a second look in 70's America. Nobody cared about them in 70s europe either they were just another car
@Turshin10 жыл бұрын
skeligandrew those little Datsuns did pretty well here and still have a following. I'm not a representative of everyone here in the US but I will say that I like the fast fords of Europe. Mk II escort being on my top five favorite cars to own and mod. We got the Sierra Cosworth in the form of the xr4ti minus the Cosworth engine and that did descent for a special production car. In the 70's no it wouldn't have done well at all but, the turbo crazy scene in the US in the 80's it would have out ran the Mustang given one of the power plants I mentioned earlier.
