MK1 ESCORT,VERY HEAVILY MODIFIED,2.8 BMW ENGINE GEARBOX.RALLY DRIFT RACE TRACK

HI. /p>

WELCOME TO MY RELUCTANT AUCTION FOR MY VERY SPECIAL MARK 1 ESCORT. RELISTED DUE TO TIMEWASTERS.

THIS CAR IS VERY WELL KNOWN AS ITS THE ONLY ONE EVER TO HAVE COMPETED IN THE RETRO DRIFT SERIES.

ILL START OFF GIVING YOU THE SPEC:

1972 MK1 ESCORT SHELL IN OLYMPIC BLUE.

FULL ROLL CAGE.

2 BUCKET SEATS AND HARNESESS.

HYDRAULIC FLYOFF HAND BRAKE.

PUSH BUTTON START.

IF YOUR STILL WITH ME AFTER READING THAT YOU WILL REALISE THIS IS NO NORMAL OLD ESCORT!!

A HELL OF ALOT OF WORK HAS GONE INTO BUILDING THIS AS A ULTIMATE TRACK/DRIFT ESCORT.

POWER IS CONSERVATELY RATED AT 220BHP. HAVE NOT HAD IT ON THE ROLLERS AS EVERYTHING IS AS BMW INTENDED.

I HAVE DONE A FEW TRACK/DRIFT DAYS AND I CAN CONFIRM ITS QUICK. ERY QUICK. OT ALOT CAN STAY WITH IT UPTO 105MPH AND THATS ONLY BECAUSE IT HITS THE LIMITER AT 105!!!

THE REASON IT GOES AND HANDLES SO WELL IS IT USES BMW FRONT SUBFRAME AND SUSPENSION AND BMW E30 BACK END AND SUSPENSION.

THE LAST TIME I SAW AN ESCORT WITH THIS TYPE OF SET UP WAS THE LATE COLIN MCRAES ESCORT AT CASTLE COMBE AND THAT COST £35. 00 TO BUILD.

THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN AN ESCORT THAT IS 40 YEARS OLD BUT DRIVES LIKE A 10 YEAROLD CAR.

ANOTHER HUGE BONUS IS THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE.

COMES WITH A HUGE SPARES PACKAGE INCLUDING 12 WHEELS AND TYRES. IFFERENTIAL. HALFSHAFTS AND WINDSCREEN ETC.

IT IS TAX EXEMPT

TO SUM UP. THIS CAR HAS DONE 15 DRIFT AND TRACK DAYS COMBINED THIS YEAR AND IT HAS NOT MISSED A BEAT THANKS TO THE BMW RELIABILITY. WITH THE MODS THAT THE CAR HAS GOT. IT IS ESTIMATED AT 220 BHP.

I HAVE ADDED MORE PICTURES AS THE AD WAS RUSHED BEFORE. THE DEEP DISH WHEELS YOU NOW SEE ARE GOING WITH THE CAR - PART OF THE SPARE PACKAGE THAT WASN'T LISTED PREVIOUSLY. THEY ARE GENUINE MIM 9J WHEELS ALL ROUND - THESE ALONE ARE RARE AND WORTH UPWARDS OF £600.

THE SPARES PACKAGE INCLUDES 3 SETS OF WHEELS. 2 REAR DIFFS. A PAIR OF DRIVE SHAFTS AND FOUR SPARE TYRES.

THIS CAR WILL NOT BE SOLD CHEAP AS IT OWES ME A LOT OF MONEY.

IF YOUR SERIOUS THEN YOU CAN CONTACT ME ON 0797771711 (PLEASE ONLY BETWEEN 9-7PM)

I WILL BE SAD TO SEE IT GO BUT NEEDS MUST

THE CAR WAS BUILT AS A TRACK CAR SO DONT EXPECT ANY LUXURIES INSIDE IT HAS WHAT IT NEEDS TO MAKE IT GET ROUND A TRACK AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AND KNOW MORE!!!

THE ENGINE IS VERY HEALTHY AND SOUNDS VERY GOOD ABIT LIKE A BDA ON FULL CHAT!!

IF YOU DO SOME LOOKING ABOUT ON YOU TUBE FOR MK1 ESCORT DRIFTING OR  RETRO DRIFT SERIES (RDC) YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AND HEAR IT IN ACTION.
