In about 2 weeks time I am clearing out a garage and sheds form my old boss who has collected parts for 40 years . Included in this lot is a Ford Escort RS1800 Cosworth BDA engine which he has turbo charged . I can have all of it for free except the engine , damn . I got to sell the engine for him and give him the money . I think I will get £5 for it , sound fair ?

I'll give you a tenner…no questions asked

Andy, that is one very very sweet ford.

That is a very sorted Mk2....mmm minds me of my old 1600 sport lol

It was mint btw, I stole it from yoshie for much cheapness, worth around £10,000 nowadays, these pics are 20 years old, rare colour too, Terracota



He He, I even had some hair back then!



Jeez I loved that car! (not as much as my MK1 mind, that car was very special to me)

[Apache]

Thats a tidy car. Wonder how its looking today?

Thats a Mk1 Celica behind it isn't it? Another classic!

[KERRSURF]

It's not been taxed for 13 years so it's either dead or sitting in a garage looking very nice.

[yoshie]

I should never have sold that. The pic with the stripes fitted is the day we finished it's restoration.

That would pay for a nice truck these days.

I sold it to you 17years ago Alan so it's been off road not long after you sold it on. Hopefully it's under a dust sheet somewhere.

[KERRSURF]

Hope so mate, too nice a car to be wrecked now.
Remember the old radio in it lost reception for radio 1 after a certain time at night, old am one it was, totally original.
Low miles too that car, only around 30,100 when we got it.

I went back down to Harrow where I used to live and collected the Cosworth BDA engine and a garage full of various spares yesterday. The engine is complete . It has been dry sumped and still has the scavage pump with it . Also a pair of Weber 45's . The exhaust will probaly go in the bin as the turbo fitting was not Neil's best work and would not help sell the engine.

Also picked up a Rover V8 inlet manifold with a pair of Weber 45's fitted inc all the pipes and linkages ready to fit which came of Neil's TR8 . Bet they sound good when running .
