Probably not the most famous Escort in the world but the title achieved its objective - I watched it and it was very good. Vatenan's Rothmans Escort or Clark's Cossack Escort are probably better known just to mention 2.
Awesome car, Michele Mouton what a legend, 1981 when the Ford Escort MK2 ruled the world.
I had the ultimate experience of my life at the age of 16 as I sat next to Jimmy (and the late Pentti) in 1978 as they tested their Chevettes on a hot sunny day near Esgair Dafydd. One of those days where you kept pinching yourself. Now in 2022 aged 60 I live alone just trying to keep warm like millions of others.
Could watch these old escorts all day so much more entertaining than the modern rally.
Superb! I saw a sticker on a Mk 2 once, which said: 'Liable to go sideways at any time'. 😄
Surely the most famous/legendary escorts would be the Rothmans sponsored or the black MCD accident at every other corner versions.
There is not much to beat a BD series engine on full throttle in the forest - Superb.
Ford Escort is almost the start of legendary rally drivers cars. Michelle Moutoun, Hannu Mikkola, Ari Vataten to name a few
Nice video and absolute legend of a car! Definitely one of dream cars of mine 🥲
Ford MK 2, the legendary Rally car that never dies... Anyone who drives, must have above average abilities....
How about doing an article on the most famous Mk1 Escort RHD LVX 942J or the LHD LVX 941J ? They were so well used, a bit like Grandad's old hammer, or Trigger's broom from OFAH.
Love the old escorts. Got quite a bit of loving done in them too lol!
Love to see Jimmy still out and about. And with a broken rib to boot! Legend.
Jimmy never seen him in a escort before himself and ari both legends two of the best 👏 wat car was this is it actually a x works car or a just a historic spec driven by famous 80s drivers
Hola desde Montevideo Uruguay 🇺🇾💘 qué placer ver estos coches impecable 💝💖👍
