Escort Cosworth Show Car

[2 Wycked]

Do you use it for track days or anything? It seems a terrible waste of a lovely motor if you don't.

Stunning car, clearly a lot of time, effort and money has gone into this, well done to you sir.
Big thumbs up for the Compomotive wheels too, a definite favourite of mine
Looking forward to seeing the spec list.

That is perfection, back when I was a teen there was a chap around here who had one..thought they were stunning back then. Top car love what you have done to it.

These still look great to me. Congrats, it's a lovely car.

[AyBee]

cheers and yes its been to harvys a few times over the years as he has done the engine in it

Yes, earlier this year I think about May time

508 bhp?! Good job!

[John D.]

Nice.

I do hope that those 500 horses get used properly every now and again. Seems a bit pointless otherwise.

What's pointless about positioning loads of mirrors around your car so you can look at the bottom of it?

Gorgeous ornamentcar though.

here are a few pics of my car, i have had it for about 10 years and now its gone from standard to a 508bhp show car, i do use it now and again and will try and get to a few meets with it, i will add a spec sheet soon as its quite long, hope you like

Stunning car Duncan, I have a question... Is that a 2nd caliper on the rear brake set-up, I've not seen one before. What is the reasoning behind it, would you not use bigger discs/calipers or do the hubs not allow it?

I thought these were for the handbrake?

[woodytype S]

Did you drive it to the show?

That question bugs me.

He could do 10,000 miles a year in it, then start cleaning it a week before the show, but if he put it on a trailer just so that it remained clean for the show then he'd be frowned upon. Not cricket.

I used to have an Esc Cos (had a 330 conversion by MAD) in Polaris Grey, and loved it to bits, absolutely loved it. Great car

Mark does some good conversions doesn't he. Fords are generally unloved on PH but I've enjoyed the ones I've had - Clarkson loved his old Escort Cosworth as well

[TonyHetherington]

Indeed - was a bit of a trek to get to him, but worth it!

Was a superb car, very chuffed to have owned it!

And to the OP - great example, really looks superb!

[Stu R]

That's stunning. Always had a soft spot for Escort Cosworths, can't remember seeing one that clean before mind! Great work chap.

I feared the worst when I read the "Show Car" title, as that term typically means some metal flaked abomination.

How releaved I was too see this amazing creation. I really love my old Escort Cosworth, and they still look absolutely awesome today.
