- In today's video, I travelled to South Devon to take a detailed look at Jay's 1972 Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico replica!
This car started life as an 1100cc base model and was restored by the previous owner in 2021. Jason purchased the car in July 2021 and has since replaced the majority of the running gear to transform it into something that definitely isn't an 1100cc anymore! This thing is quick!

Thanks for your comments guys. Means a lot. 👍🏽
And don’t worry the headlining is nearly at the top of the list! 😂🤟🏽
Watched from Jamaica, we had a 1968 model 1100 back in the day. Still have the engine and gearbox.
An absolute peach of a car! I love the mk1 particularly so and this is peak mk1!
that is a thing of beauty!
Working on a Mk 4 RS for a client that currently runs 240 hp and will soon be running more. Full-body restoration is my "part" of the process. Engines gone off to be "breathed on" elsewhere. That ^^ is a cracking looking MK1 - absolutely stunning car. I do like a fast Ford..
Nice to see the old Ford engine 🏆
Beautiful looking car!
Sort the headlining out though, looks like the ceiling of a lady of the nights boudoir.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching that.
Great vid on a bloody nice Escort.
Great upload 👌
what a beautiful escort and a brilliant owner too, the two of them were made for eachother 👍👍. My grandad had a bottle green mk1 escort and when he took me with him when i was 4 to trade it in i cried and refused to leave the car!
Ive never owned an old sporty escort but they are definitely one of the standout memories of growing up in the late 70s and throughout the 80s, superb stuff! great video too 👍👍👍
Love this motor, great vid fin, you look like your in your element. Great filming.👍
Cracking video, keep up the work
Lovely car nice to see aint gone to mad with it. 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍
Very nice, love that 👍
Fabulous Escort and video, thank you for posting. As a 16 & 17 year old I had a 1971 J-reg Mk1 Escort 1.1 with go-fast wheels, but unfortunately it didn't look and sound anywhere near as good as this 😀
Great build! Just the black headliner to go! 😂
lovely roof lining * the Grandma effect
Nice car.
Nice car well done
This is before my Time before I was born in 1981
Me too, I was born in 2000😁
@@finleykI’m old! 1976😂
Very nice, love that❤👍
Lovely - look just like my old one
Sort the headlining out though !
FairPlay young man can see you don’t like the camera in your face but you’re giving it a go and you sound as though you’ve done you’re homework as obviously you won’t remember these cars on the road in great numbers 👍 great video I’ll subscribe and watch the channel grow
Yes, it's a very difficult thing to try and pretend the camera isn't there
superbness
Absolutely beautiful.
Is that 122 bhp at the wheels?
Just how I'd have mine...I hate the bubble arches look!
what a fantastic, beautiful car. Any chance you could help my OCD and change that hood lining though please?
The car is a work in progress still and also remember, it's 50years old!
