Back when anything from 130-230bhp was plenty of power to have fun, driven hard on norfolk roads gave plenty of smiles, didnt need 5-600hp back then, miss seeing these motors, and that owner is so deserving of that series 2, what a genuine bloke

    This has gotta be one of the best ones yet. The owner is such a genuine, down to earth guy, even giving Ricky and Joe thanks for their time. Showing appreciation for the time and effort you also sacrifice in what you do, really does make the world of difference. He is right though, you've came so so far and you've really achieved something here Ricky. 👍

    The first new car I bought was a 1988 U.S. Ford Escort GT. My first choice was an '87 Ford Mustang Notchback that was at the dealership. Since my Father was helping me with the loan he had the final say. Having a V8 5 speed my Father was a hard NO. Getting the Escort GT I immediately began looking to modify the car. That's when I discovered the British version.
    Every month I made my payment I cried that there was no way I could legally copy the beautiful British Escort.
