  • Hello and welcome to a new episode, In this week's episode we go and visit what can only be described as unreal. We come across a rare collection of classic fords!

    OWNER!..
    The presumption of innocence is a legal principle that every person accused of any crime is considered innocent until proven guilty. Under the presumption of innocence, the legal burden of proof is thus on the prosecution, which must present compelling evidence to the trier of fact (a judge or a jury). If the prosecution does not prove the charges true, then the person is acquitted of the charges. The prosecution must in most cases prove that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If reasonable doubt remains, the accused must be acquitted. The opposite system is a presumption of guilt. Therefore please DO NOT ACCUSE me of any unlawful act! What i do is mearley document my findings! I (DO NOT) Steal! I am NOT A thief! I do not break or enter any property. If there is no open area of any building or structure i WILL NOT enter!
    Please do not judge. All i ask is that you give me the chance to rectify any issues/concerns you may have. I am a very honest and genuine person with the best intentions at heart.
    If you want the footage removed then all you need to do is ask.
    Many thanks IMSTOKZE.....
    IF YOU WANT TO SEE MORE OF THIS TYPE OF STUFF SMASH THAT LIKE!!!

    This is quite literally heartbreaking to see all those fords in unsavable places all the MK1 escorts apart from the Morris front end one commanable 50 60 k fully transformed back in the road the capris 30 40 k ..wish a bucket load of cash and able to rescue them I cried I'm sure we will all cry I know how you feel stu ....great video great finds thanks bro .....looking forward to the next one will be re watching ...I guess you can't share the location anyway ....

    Some great finds again Stuart, even that Nissan Patrol is a rare sight. Putting the time and miles in is worth it for us thank you. Even when Ford classic values are mental you’re still digging out these gems. The RS2000 has to have a value in that state even for the VIN number and a few spares.

    • @justinobrien3593
      @justinobrien3593 Před 2 lety +2

    Thanks for the video Stu

  • @levelcrossing150
    @levelcrossing150 Před 2 lety +9

    Great video and I can feel the adrenaline pumping around our bodies. The little white sports fastback is a Triumph GT6. The RS2000 was probably not in the best condition when it first arrived there, stripes have long gone probably due to a cheap respray sometime. Sadly it is missing many of it's unique RS parts which puts up the challenge of finding parts and the cost of restoring these cars. You cannot underestimate just how much work there is to get these cars back on the road and looking good again. Even a decent 40 year old restoration will probably need every single part restored, serviced or replaced and the price has to reflect this.

      GT6 is probably what bmw z4 coupe was based on which will be a future clasic. GT6 is a beautiful looking classic and has 6 cylinder engine

    Somebody obviously has got more money than sence as that mk1 escort camper as it is is probably worth about ££3k plus for the logbook and spares! Wow my heads fallen off seeing all those mk1 fords sat rotting away when they could be used as parts or projects for people who ain't got loads of money to do up as a hobby! I used to work in a scrap yard in Stalybridge called North end spares in 2001 and I've saved a few mk1-2 escorts from the crusher!!! Keep up the videos and it must me heartbreaking seeing retro fords sat dumped! The blue mk1 escort with the Morris minor front end is weird!!! 😎

    This is heartbreaking, there is a 2L laser capri by me, I keep knocking at the old guys door, he wont sell it, I've been trying for 2 yrs, its only done 28000 miles, it's getting slowly worse every year, why do people do this to cars, they would let them rot to bits rather than sell them to someone who really wants it to restore and look after it 🤦‍♂️

    First of all, thank you for a new, great video from you!
    I myself own an original Escort MK2 RS2000 and an original AVO Escort MK1 RS 2000 (LHD 1973). Unfortunately I have to disappoint you very much, it is one of the first RS clones that someone has modified. You can recognize it by the white inner roof sky. The RS always has it in black. You can also see the poorly welded transmission tunnel hole for the shift lever. On the RS it sits 70mm further back. For this you have to move this "hole". I myself once built my own clone from leftover parts as an all day driver. But I still think it's important to save this car because I absolutely accept it as an RS! The prices have exploded at the moment!! Thank you and keep it up!

    Great video . Very interesting how these cars are rare in the UK but I see these all the time in NZ we don't really have Vauxhalls here more GM Holden's HQs are our hidden gems and XY Falcons

    Top vid. Put me down for either MK1 Capri (my dream from age 3, 1969!!) or maybe the GT6. Sadly I'm old enough to remember old rusty fords being worth £20 for scrap. Most of these owners seem to delude themselves that they are going to either restore them to pristene one day for about £500 or sell them for £100,000. Nuts. Reality is they'll be auctioned of by their families when they finally fall off the perch.

      Unfortunately, in Germany, old RS vehicle papers are taken and welded over by a strut repair panel on a standard escort. The RS has this as a standard reinforcement, the standard does not.
      That is punishable in Germany!@@ImStokze
