This car i feel is like the evo 6's long lost brother, believe it or not was easily on par performance & handling wise as the evo. For some reason you don't get a true sense of how fast this thing really was on cam, I put it down to its engine sound, not the most exotic, also not much exhaust sounds going on
Whats happning Ricky! I agree the engine note isnt the cosworths strong point but the more u live with it the more its charm wins u over.....i deleted the centre box on mine & the exhuast note transformed into a firebreathing dragon lol....its all to do with the whole package with these cars, the looks, the power, charactaristics etc.....iv been waiting for this vid & over the moon the delivered Ricky! (Get in)😆😆
WTF, as a previous owner of a cossie, these do don't handle anywhere as good as a evo 6, but in my opinion is what makes them better from an entertainment perspective, cars that handle hell are boring, cars that go sideway, well thats fun, also it not a lux, lux cars are leather
I remember when my Dad bought one of these in 1993 without telling me. Picked me up at Manchester bus station the smile on my face was insane. Graphite Black full lux pack, where ever we went there was always a crowd around it. Til this day still one of my favorite cars.
Cosworths come alive when tuned, they aren’t special when standard. They where designed to run mega power out the box. That’s why the rods are good for 600hp, pistons good for 600, turbo in the escos good for 400, rs500 turbo is good for 550. They literally could give 500hp with an uprated head gasket and bolt ons like injectors ect. No evo or Impreza has ever been able to do that.
@@welloilbeefhooked4984 can't recall my mates exact setup but it had anti lag too, and launch control. Clutch was a bitch for normal driving though, needed about 3k revs just to pull away haha.
@@toadscrote123321 Wasnt many RS Sprints about!!! Think there was 7 in total, Your mate wasnt called Mark was he??? Did he have a black Subaru Impreza before the RS Sprint??? I knew a guy who had one too!!
@@welloilbeefhooked4984 Nah Keith, Up in Scotland. Think it was E7 BHP. Sure someone came from France to buy it from him. Was the best of the ones that were still surviving.
Honestly, I'm really happy for you! You been busting your ass for 3 years and your staring to reap the rewards! Your one one the realist people on UA-cam and its great to see doing what you love bro X
@@LivingLifeFastLLF a bit late but : i personally like that it is quiet, you wouldn't expect it to be this fast, i mean it is quick in its original setup. This is next lever tho
Got a lot if love for this model Escort. My first car was a 1.3 Escort Minstral, in this colour. It wasn't particularly fast, had a few dings, but it had the comfiest seats I've ever sat in and I loved that thing. Seeing older Fords been given this treatment makes me very happy.
Grown up with RS’s with me dad taking photos of us stood next to them as kids ... was always he dream of owning one!! Finally he bit the bullet and owns pretty much one of the lowest mileage ones in the uk a ‘minter’... bit of a shame as it’s become priceless to him and rarely drives it! Great to see such a BEAST Driven !!! You know it’s a proper car when you get all the comments pouring in Ricky ! When he booted it my smile smile was as big as yours !!!
Teenage boy wet dream for me! When I was growing up this car was the holy grail! I remember whenever we'd be out and one would pass by someone would always say "cosworth!" making everyone turn around to look
What more could you ask for on a Saturday ... Coffee, Cars, Cosworth's, Cocaine, Beer, Hookers...wait what were we talking about? ;-) what a fantastic car !
YES, awesome video. Reminds me of my old 2wd Saph Cossie, was a bit worn in the engine department. Wake it up on a frosty morning and the old forged pistons sounded like a skeleton having a wank in a biscuit tin. But give the old girl 5 minutes and bang 18psi up its freckle and that thing could really get out of its own way, usually painting the road with elevens so other cars on its block knew they were on its territory..!
Love seeing Ricky enjoy a car like this, love a Cosie also. What an absolute weapon of a car this geeza has. Criminal to sell something as beautiful as this gem!
Oh Ricky! This is the video I've always wanted. I grew up with this car on my bedroom wall, best car of the decade by far! This and the Lancia Delta HF Turbo! Great video
I love Ricky's realisation that newer cars, despite being faster, do not have the sensation of speed that an older tuned car has. "It's that real boost, it just hits you in the face!" Well said.
Still the best hot hatch ever made to me, and that was the best colour and interior combo for me. Used to work at Solomon’s and loved when these came in!
That is a dream car for real, Maj your a lucky guy and thanks for letting us buzz of the car you done it proper, nice one Ricky i think you enjoyed this one more then the evo,stay blessed g and bless up the LLF fam ✌
Look for MADevelopments he specialises in Engine builds I think he came on top gear as well back in the days... a true gentle and a knowledgeable guy Mark Shed
This Cosworth and the Evo 6 are my favourate cars that have been featured on here. What a beautiful car and very well modified. MA Developments are great at building Cosworths and Mitusbishi's.
Mid-late 90's when these first come out man.. the rally edition blue/yellow with white rims & Michelin man decals these things fly.. power-to-weight ratio thats fast ford.
Rally one at Oulton Park impressed me with mad driver....one in garage with half power was pretty poor Lux with lots of aftermarket bits but this is Loved and Mint.....Respect to dedicated owner👋👋👋😻

I would say subaru impreza type ra 2dr classic. They're more closer all round but yh these cars are beauties of the 1990s

Yeah Lol
That's what a good car does makes you smile.
You got any social? "Nah, I got a phone number" 😁😁 hahaha

The escort Cosworth IS one of the best Cars ever made
thelouis 55 You seen Ken Blocks V2? Worth a look.
Have you ever driven one ?
100%, agree! Nothing comes close to them
I heard stories that the car cost 22k new but insurance could be upto 20k a year... crazy crazy

One of the best cars on Ricky’s channel. Cossie is a true legend and cult car, and one sorted like this is a dream come true for every car enthusiast
reminds me of the teenage years ! old school cossies when life was simple
*13:13* “Drop it down a gear and just rally it” - *LEGEND* 👑
Love the re-done 18 inch wheels, they look so much better than the original 16s!
I always liked that style of wheel they are universal look good on all sorts of Fords.
The standard was not 17 inch?
Laszlo Kovacs No standard was 16”
Mark at MA Developments is a legend. He did my mates old Evo 7 RS Sprint and it was unreal. Was helpful over the phone with queries with things too.
Mark did my old Evo 6 RSX mapped it with a Autronics ECU with anti lag and I loved that car, What a great guy to deal with.

This C O S I E and that black E V O, my best two cars you've had on the channel.
same here bro old skool rules all day! We need some series 1 rs turbos and maybe an rs2000 4x4 or Lotus Carlton 😂
100% the others don't come close
Easily totally agree.. 👍
Loved that Evo. Always wanted one.
The manual r8 was special too
Honestly, I'm really happy for you! You been busting your ass for 3 years and your staring to reap the rewards!
Your one one the realist people on UA-cam and its great to see doing what you love bro X
31K views and he's still reading every comment and liking it at 3 in the morning! Real G!
Haha still up bruh
Thanks for the comment bro like you say 3 years of hard work, actually starting to work out for me now
1 hour lunch at work today, eating my lunch watching LLF, thank you.
Saturday Lunchtime and LLF can life get any better?
Yep.
Saturday Breakfast & LLF
Yes
Saturday stacking shelves at tesco whilst being told off to get off my phone by my manager
Due to...LLF
Great video, probably the best Cosworth in the UK. Owner must be proud to own such a beautiful example.
Tastefully modded car, original type wheels - respect
Not seen ricky this impressed for a while, that's saying a lot, bad boy whip lol
If this car had a louder exhaust it would come across way faster on cam
@@LivingLifeFastLLF a bit late but : i personally like that it is quiet, you wouldn't expect it to be this fast, i mean it is quick in its original setup. This is next lever tho
Not a fan of fords, but this is one of the best cars you’ve had on the channel! Props to the owner keeping the looks slick but original.
Great car!
These used to be the one to have back in the day sick vid Rick broo keep it up 👊🏽
I'm thinking every episode needs a race between the m4 and the featured car.
dad with daughters thatd be bloody brilliant. You deserve more likes so Ricky can see it ma man
The owner is like the terminator:-) what a lovely example of an absolute classic
Yeah you wouldnt want to run into him in a bad mood lol , the car is amazing
Hes monotone and dull, you mean?

When he booted it my smile smile was as big as yours !!!
Owners a top man. Knows his car inside out and is a proper car nut. Top respect 💪🏽👊🏽
So sick always loved the obnoxious ironing board on the back as well! Keep up the good work and content mate ... Killing it
Love these old fords, that right there is a proper machine!
Remember the olders having one when I was a kid!!! What a whip!!!! Stay blessed brovaz!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
probs one of the best cars to ever appear on this channel
Amazing car , big respect to the owner .Good to see a pristine escort cosworth , childhood memories brought to light !.
Probably my favourite car on the channel, absolutely stunning👍🏼
That's a well sorted car, and the owner is a nice guy!
This has got to be one of the coolest cars to hit the channel so far. Absolute nuts!! Keep up the good work Ricky lad
That must be worth a few quid gone up in price like mad..
I'd love one but can't afford one anymore!
@@joshuaelliot2020
I had a blue one back in the day, Lux model , leather interior, 18" Rondells, coil overs, wish I hadn't sold it to be honest !
Selling for 74k on Ebay 😧
@@shivpatel7741
I bought it from PJ motorsport so had a few mods just regret selling it but hindsight is another matter !
Can’t ask as much as a pristine one considering he’s done a lot to it.
Teenage boy wet dream for me! When I was growing up this car was the holy grail! I remember whenever we'd be out and one would pass by someone would always say "cosworth!" making everyone turn around to look
Hands down,this and the evo 6 you did best vids you've done. Love this Cossie
Quickly becoming my favourite car channel on UA-cam
What more could you ask for on a Saturday ... Coffee, Cars, Cosworth's, Cocaine, Beer, Hookers...wait what were we talking about? ;-) what a fantastic car !
Ha, ha....what was it we were talking bout..??? ( snort, snort, ahhhhhhh!!! )
You know when you don't want a video to end, well this is one of them! Honestly, what a car! Another top video again Ricky, smashed it
Oh my god this is my first vid I have watched on this channel....

Really enjoyed that Ricky, love an escort cossie, quality mate 😎
Sick car!!Sickest channel on UA-cam without a doubt ‼️✔️
Haven’t seen you look this impressed with someone else’s car in a long time. Does look really nice
Yeah what a car. The best so far on LLF. More old school stuff Ricky please!

This is by far my favourite car ever to be on LLF.
Mega car that mate. Owners a top guy aswell knows his shit ! Gotta love the old fords
Definitely a top 10 car review. That car is a beast. I hope someone buys it so we can see more of it.
You can't beat a video with my favourite and one of the best old school motors in the world, RS Cosworth is just an animal end of
Nice too see these classic old skool cars on the channel 👌🏻👌🏻
Blast from the past. Nice rework job. Thanks Guys.

Ricky asked him if hes alright 3 times in like 20 seconds 😂😂😂
he looked like he was about to do something lmao
Oh Ricky! This is the video I've always wanted.
I grew up with this car on my bedroom wall, best car of the decade by far! This and the Lancia Delta HF Turbo!
Great video
Meant to be off to work but this popped so the boss can wait
Yaas a proper cossie! 🔥proper analog machine, no electronics controling the power just your right foot. Love it 👍
I love Ricky's realisation that newer cars, despite being faster, do not have the sensation of speed that an older tuned car has. "It's that real boost, it just hits you in the face!" Well said.
if there was ever a spec list of a escort cosworth this man has it well done on a nicely done escort cosworth
that guy is living the dream!!! one of the best looking cars ever made
Simply one of the most stunning cars inside and out. The bigger standard style rims are perfect! Top vid as always Rik
Love this - this is a machine Ricky!! I used to own a Ford Escort Mk1 Mexico but this is the daddy!! Keep em coming bro..
Could hear those straight cut gears before they got brought up, always loved that sound, reminds me of BTCC in the 90s when it was good!
😂😂😂 I’m the same in seriously fast cars, giggling like a school kid. He held off just right, that thing is pristine!
That cossie is stunning! 👌👌
Still the best hot hatch ever made to me, and that was the best colour and interior combo for me. Used to work at Solomon’s and loved when these came in!

Who’s Mark Shead? Ricky! Also he mentions Ahmed Bayjoo - another Cosworth god.
Dave Spooney he made the fastest cosworth in the world hit over 200 mph back in the day
boosted productions I remember that crazy sapphire

Proper drivers car that you can appreciate and in my opinion makes you feel part of it.
