Mk1 ESCORT ROAD TEST.

[@melflesser3549]

You can have your V12's V8's V6's for exhaust rumbles but NOTHING beats a 4 cyl with twin webers. What a sound !!! Envious ofg the car and your talents building it

[@johndawson221]

Hello chaps, love the idea of a raffle. I’d buy a few tickets! Hope you’re both keeping well 👍

[@grayfool]

Good to see you again, thought you'd run away. Who wouldn't want to win that car. And this is from a geezer who is not a Ford fan by any means.

[@CTFBOYS1993]

Raffles are a great way of finding the channel. Go for it.

[@rhyshorsnell6991]

Watching this while by the pool in turkey. Happy days. 100% I’ll buy a bunch of tickets. Fords all day everyday

[@frederickgrove9164]

Brilliant Video, great to see you posting again!

[@adrianday8678]

So glad you are back .

[@ducatiman4016]

Count me in , I’d have some tickets, I loved all my mk1 s good to see ya back on here again

[@gezwebster2951]

My eye will be peeled to grab a few raffle tickets after seeing the escort at the nec I haven't stopped drooling over it since 👍👍👍

[@ODDAutos]

It’s a real nice looking motor 😍

[@captainbrianwilkinson7723]

Ive always loved escorts for year done some motorsport in the past i love the idea of a raffle brilliant idea

[@thumperstu]

Fantastic news.... id gladly buy a few tickets....

[@ugurhussein5891]

Hi guys fantastic idea i would deffo buy a few tickets and thanks for allowing us to have a chance at winnig it 👍👍👍

[@alcapony4935]

I think that’s a great idea to raffle the Escort. It’ll give someone a chance to own a fantastic car that a lot of us can no longer afford to go out and buy. Thanks guys.

[@chrischapman138]

Good to have you back.. mk1 looks and sounds awesome. Back to something to look forward to on a Tuesday night again..😜

[@benjohnson7170]

Mate,what a beautiful thing. Was just with the channel for Escort stuff really.Enjoyed the build the whole way through. Cheers from Oz👍.

[@stemcleeds]

Yes!

[@Wayne-R-]

This car is stunning it’s just gets better and better every time I see it you lads a genius’s restoring this

[@dalethomas360]

Good to see you back. Never had a MK1, so will definitely buy a ticket. Plus, the sound of Webbers gives me a bit of a twitch... 😁

[@crumpetcatcher]

I think that's a great idea. Like you say, it gives someone a chance to own it who would never be able to afford one due to their current value.

[@enoz.j3506]

I and a fair few friends would def buy a few raffle tickets for this awesome car. Love it,always been a fan of the MK1 escort.The Blue/white would match my 1991 GSXR1100,ive got twin Dellortos(similar to webbers) on my beach buggy as well,do sound nice. Love this channel.£10 per ticket would be a good price.

[@2wheels6strings8]

Very Nice. I had a 1760cc Mk2 with forest arches in the late 80's that I absolutely loved even though it was rusting away underneath. Used to give Sierra Cosworths a run for their money on the right road!

[@xjs36]

Recently found you guys and have been binging on your videos while recovering from Covid (really helped take my mind off the pain) Got to say I love your work and look forward to what ever you do in the future. Your Mini camper van and mk1 escort videos are fantastic.

Thanks Ian, glad you liked the videos buddy. Hope you feel better soon too, take care 👍

Hello Lads, enjoying the videos again as you have reverted to once a week format. Great idea for the raffle on both the Mk1 and 2 (I hope) Escorts. Just let us know how to buy them! Keep up the good work Cheers Neil from Aberdeen.

The mk1 & the mk2...the most sexiest of escorts,true story...

[@Simon_W74]

Good to see you back on my desktop screen. Just goes to show you that a old car with a decent engine and gear box with none of the crap our modern cars now come with can get done the road with less HP. That thing is quicker then my B8 Passat GT, Bet it it much more fun to drive too. Every time I see the Orange Focus if forget that it is a donor car for the mk 2 Escort custom build. Looking forward to the next build series. We just know that it will be Epic.

[@markswendell9151]

Great build, enjoyed the weekly updates and a raffle? Of course!

[@TheJcman72]

Great series where we can see trash becoming gold. My dad had an Escort 1300GT when I was a kid, and it had rust already being only 6 or 7 years old, so I can understand how they manage to get the way yours was.

[@-abacchus]

Such a lovely motor and that *sound* is proper lush! Just need to make a cuppa in the back whilst Keith drives..! Fantastic job boys!

That is a stonking Mk 1, great sound going up the road and through the gears. Got to say it sounds a bit like my Dads old Alfa Giulia (circ1971) that had twin webbers on it and it went like stink! Big big thumbs up for some tickets if you raffle it. Oh and by the way you are both forgiven for the long wait time for this video. 👍👍👍👍

Lovely series, this! Been watching all episodes, trying to find motivation to start with one of my own: a 1300 GT which has, sadly, been totally neglected, battered and beaten. It was on it's way to the scrapyard - but hopefully I'll be able to bring it back!

[@MrMazda47]

Hi Really enjoyed your rebuild and the end result of a stunning Mk 1. Have own many fords,1600e/3 Litre capris/Xr2s but never an Escort. The Mk1 RS always in my opinion looked the more muscle car of the range. If you were to raffle it I would by a hundred tickets. Looking forward to watching more. 👍🏿

Great video mate. As far as raffling goes, I'd look into the legalities first. I was going to raffle my Triton bike but there is a law preventing it unless it's for charity purposes.
