Red Escort Cosworth (Number 2)

[AGAR]

Hi all,

I'm killing some time waiting for a mate before heading down the pub, so thought I'd post up a few pics of my latest Escort Cosworth. Some of you might remember my other Escort which I still own and plan to sell shortly (see here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

This latest one had a full nut & bolt restoration in 2007 by two brothers who own Pro Bodyshop in Cambuslang, and it's only done 8,000 miles since. I've got a few plans for it over the winter and can't wait to get started on it.

Here's some pics I got during the summer:



















Hope you like.

Cheers,

Agar

Nice, very nice. One of these was on my radar a few years ago but the wife didn't think it was very professional having it parked outside her work so it was a mk5 gti we got.. one day ill get one hopefully..

[itcaptainslow]

That is stunning

[LanceRS]

Silly question, why are you changing one red Escort for another?

[melvster]

Can't beat a nice Cozzeh stunning car; Comp wheels are just perfection on the RS Fords.

Love it, I used to own a white K reg 'large turbo' stage 3.

[Baryonyx]

Much want!

Looks a very nice example! Engine and turbo will be running under their maximum outputs as well I suspect! I reckon that it should be good for over 530bhp.
