You know what we love about Reuben’s Escort? It’s not trying to be anything special, it’s simple and only lightly modified, and as a result it’s packed full of charm. Being a little 1.3 litre, it perhaps lacks a bit of power for modern motoring, but Reuben’s got this covered! He’s planning to up the power with a Pinto engine conversion, something we think is a worthwhile pursuit!
Joe’s SD1 is a late, series 2, V8 powered model meaning it has fuel-injection which gave the car 190bhp in standard form (huge numbers for the time). The car is immaculate, and we love the fact Joe has modified it from a performance standpoint, but left the car original aesthetically speaking. We caught up with Joe to find out how he found himself to be the owner of this unlikely British sports saloon…
James’s Herald is a really lovely thing to look at, and you just don’t see these cars on the road much these days. We love how he’s embraced a bit of the “rat look” with the car, as most of the Triumph Heralds you do see these days are examples that spend most of their life in a garage, and are polished to perfection…
Kenny’s MK2 Escort is a turbo-charged rally-spec brute. You don’t have to look far past the surface to see this (the forest arches, and 8 inch wide wheels are a bit of a giveaway). However take a trip underneath the bonnet and you’ll see this car isn’t just a tuned up fast-road spec Escort. Featuring a…
You only have to glance at the pictures to see that Calvin’s Escort has been hugely modified. It’s now sporting a frenzied 2.1 litre pinto with a ported head, custom cam AND breathing through a pair of side-draught Weber twin DCOE carbs. For many MK2 Escort fans THIS is…
Adam’s MK1 Escort isn’t your regular Escort – it’s been hugely modified and is running over 300bhp thanks to a Cosworth YB installation! Let us just repeat that… 300bhp plus, in a car that weighs less than 800kg. There isn’t a bit of this car that hasn’t been worked on – it’s been treated to a full restoration, and then had performance…
Jason’s MK1 Escort is a real cracker. When we spotted it (in part thanks to his amazing photography skills) we were immediately hooked. Jason’s also done a range of nice modifications to the car (without going crazy with it). It sits nice and low, and on a lovely set of wheels. We asked Jason if…
George’s Escort MK2 is a bit of a beast really. He’s taken an old, brown, rather boring four-door Escort, and turned it into this bright orange screamer! We’re well impressed by what he’s done to the car, and even more impressed by the fact he’s…
Despite the well-known shortcomings of 70’s British Cars, there’s just something about the way they look that still captures the hearts of thousands of classic car enthusiasts all over the world. Andy’s Midget (known affectionately as “Margo”) is the…
Paul’s Cortina is a proper classic, and looks like it’s straight out of a 70’s British crime drama (Life on Mars anyone?). We’re big fans of old Fords here, and when we saw Paul’s cortina, painted in Tawny Brown, and complete with Vinyl roof, we had to get in touch!
