    350Hp MK1 Cosworth Escort

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/a.asp?id=322346943


    A bit hard to justify in these hard times - but it's pretty flash for an old Ford Escort!
    Retired- just some guy with a few bikes......

    $40k and then you'd have to swap the wheels for some minilites and re-spray it orange and black "Mexico" styles.

    Bang some old crossplys on it. Now that would be fun.

    That's a lot of money for something with too many wheeels ..

    That is seriously cool car - from a distance externally would give Marc Willers' Nizola a run, but the interior in the escort is pretty average - this is how an old school performance ride should look >> http://www.performancecar.co.nz/tag/marc-willers

    Or even the P76 dropped into that vauxhall chevette as a rally/hillclimb car? What was the name of that hill climb that went up a hill to a hairpin then back down? I think it was somewhere down south.. Chch?

    Ashley forest, don't remember a P76 one but there was a 308/powerglide Chevette there

    My welding Boss had the only genuine MK1 BDA 1600 in the Southern Hemisphere which he sold not so long ago for I believe over 80-90K , he said he drives it more now for the new owner than he did while owning it , He has now just brought a new 80k Ford Focus RS MountTune with 350HP one of only 100 made , mate has driven it & says it is out of this world & would just wipe a FPV Ford or HSV Commodore off the Planet . It is quicker than an 2010 Subaru & is as quick as an 2010 Evo round a track ! not bad for a front wheel drive . My drive is this weekend so I will take it to my test road & have being told to drive it like I stole it !!!

    Remember reading an article re a Focus and a GT40 being driven over some insane road in Europe with the Focus all over the 40 like a rash,no surprise really but hey give me a dinosaur anyday.

    Yes, Ashley Forrest, think you're right. The P76 may have been in a Starlet?? can't remember...
