Great video dude! I'm a serious Ford fan, and John what a guy!!! Driving that priceless cossie like he did, when there was blaady snow in the middle of the road. It's awesome to see him actually driving it, and it not being a garage queen! 👍
Poor title, Group A rally cars never had 500hp due to restrictors they ran, so it's either a Group A Escort rally car, with about 300hp (and a whopping 300ftlbs of torque) or It's a Group A Escort rally car with a modified and unrestricted engine that produces 500hp.
I just happened on this ! Reminds me of James Cullens Yorkie Cossie - didn't Ford mess around with a 7 speed gearbox at a time with an extra short first to get you off the line? This could only be engaged with a collar - From memory James car had it !!
Man that car can pull so much more revs. Gear changing was well early. I can pul 6 an a half k on a standard fiesta. It would have so much more pull as well if it reved up abit more
That roller shutter door sounds awesome lol , that is the best looking Escort Cosworth I’ve ever seen your very lucky to get a spin in that can’t believe you didn’t get a go , the Escort cosworth has been around a long time now but that is mint hopefully he don’t stuff it doing hill climbing, thanks for the video , all about the car and not you I like it thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Why can't all gear boxes and gear leavers work like that? what does Cosworth mean exactly? what is that, you mean it's just built or tuned by them? also, who pays for rally cars? when they/re crashed, who replaces the parts, and secondly you know those other championships, like Audi R8s, ferarris and million pound cars, who pays for them to race and where does the money ceom from to replace them when damaged?
Nice i too once years ago had one of these in pearl Blue .Slightly more horsepower but ran a water injection system too to keep down the temps in the intake as you could get it to pre det. Fast it was not supra fast different class of car but no skyline or supra could stay with it on short bendy roads it would eat them on the straits there the victor but they will never out handle one there like shit to a Blanket .
It's how you drive an old school turbo charged car with 6 speed close ratio box! Gets maximum boost in every year. Maximum boost equals maximum torque.
It's a 6 six speed close ratio gearbox. The engine makes maximum boost and therefore maximum torque at relatively low revs, no need to rev it to the max! That's how these cars are driven!
Finally, a car loud enough to block out jamies rambling.
Yeah i managed to watch it due to this lol
tbf he can ramble as much as he wants if he can get more cars like this for us to watch and drule over....now I'm rambling on 😂
😂
You know that motor wasn’t even breaking a sweat!
Thanks for sharing! Lovely to see the owner have such knowledge of this machine, and actually use it.
2:04 "It's fast.... ITS JOLLY FAST" 👌🏼
Brilliant words mate and your face to go with it 😂😂
Best vid so far Jamie - more like this pls mate 👍👍😎
That noise is like music to my ears, absolutely love it!
So glad we can't here the clown in the passenger seat, defo needs more loud cars on the channel
bullshit. no you weren;t, you just wanted a reason to hate comment. piss off
@@CrazyAGamers nah, jamie doesnt know jack shit of what he usually rants off about
CrazyAGamers well said 😂
Clearly a labour of love build and money no object to get it right. Fantastic car!

Long live the cossie.The best rally car in the world 💪💪👍👍
I was about to unsub from this channel... when this came up... finally something interesting
What a hero short shifting everywhere
Absolute BEAST!!!! 🤯
Escort cosworth and metro 6R4 ,two of the best looking rally cars ever built I think.👍
Mk2 escort mate or the Audi quattro
Short shifting and when he flicks gear lever it flicks down a gear if u heard that sometimes!!!
Back in the day when Rally cars were truly bad ass.
You've bounced back. Fairplay mate. Really e enjoyed
A total thrill ride with all the sounds to match !!!!
Constant short shifting annoyed me
Didnt think it was possible too find someone who shifts shorter than jamie but here he is 😄
I just realised I took a picture of this car at a rally meet up a while back :)
I actually saw this Escort in action during the 90’s in Belgium. Still a true beast !
It never drove in Belgium. This is A fantastic car but Not A left hand drive of Patrick Snijers and RAS sport
This guy knows his car 👍 Now that’s a rally car 😍 👌👍
Love the escort.The light pod though is very old fashioned but I guess it's in keeping with the age of the car.
Poor title, Group A rally cars never had 500hp due to restrictors they ran, so it's either a Group A Escort rally car, with about 300hp (and a whopping 300ftlbs of torque)
or
It's a Group A Escort rally car with a modified and unrestricted engine that produces 500hp.
Mark Mark the group A escorts had 315 bhp
Which is "about 300".
But thanks for the clarification.
Sick videos mate keep up the superb work
I think jamie is reading fan feedback 👍 well done 👏. Love the channel. Best one for me was the yaris t sport review, way back
One of my dream cars I love a coszy
We Never got them to buy( never-produced/ sold) in south africa 😢-(what a beauty)
The only way you could top this is going around a track in a group A Sierra. Wonderful video, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
When 500 bhp meant fast 👍🏻
Old rally cars are the ultimate road car.

Even the haters carn’t hate here guys and gals that’s some machine wow,,it’s better than ken blocks
Kens caught fire but was a better spec
@@miawallace2785 *"Was"*
The start up made me "like" instantly ;)
Always ignore this chaps vids but this was worth watching if only there was a way to mute the passenger.
Glad to see Clark Griswold has upgraded from his station wagon! I Just hope he didn't install the fog lights!
Clarke w Griswold jr landspeed record holder!....later dudes
Man that car can pull so much more revs. Gear changing was well early. I can pul 6 an a half k on a standard fiesta. It would have so much more pull as well if it reved up abit more
Rpm limiter at 3000? Pröötprööt and 6th gear
stunning car & proper mental...wonder how long the queue would be if he offered rides?
Great video and awesome intro! Good job Jamie
That roller shutter door sounds awesome lol , that is the best looking Escort Cosworth I’ve ever seen your very lucky to get a spin in that can’t believe you didn’t get a go , the Escort cosworth has been around a long time now but that is mint hopefully he don’t stuff it doing hill climbing, thanks for the video , all about the car and not you I like it thanks 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Beautiful Cossie!
Anybody notice the sequential gearbox 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣
Possibly the best video you have made
Thank you Jamie
A proper car for a change! Nice one Jamie
WOW! What a motor, I love everything about this car, evening the cooker scheme.
That was running Mild Boost He also was not hard spaaanking it . sheer terror look on the face
If the reg is correct it's an ex WRC Works car with the famous FMC
Ford
Motor
Company reg . . .🤔
Nice to see that car back on the road again remember it when Jeff too good had it nice job done their Mr peck
I assume he was driving at an appropriate and safe speed within the legal limit bearing in mind he was on a public road!
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down is beyond me.
That car looks like it's got a lot more to give .
Why can't all gear boxes and gear leavers work like that?

Car porn at it's best.
R5gtt - agreed
This is so fantastic I'm sure it was a good experience for Jamie
Thumbs up as always Jamie, great stuff mate.
I thought this was @Redlinecardiff car but was mistaken there in the process of building one similar
Cosworth power
Still waiting for you to come see the mighty mitsibushi evolt
Sounds like it can't rev out cleanly ....? Nice build tho 👍
More of this and you’ll hit the 150k 👍👍👍
This is a realy Dreamcar 👌
This was excellent, very good work J.
It's a shame it kept braking up on boost but what a car
Yeh I’d like to see it nailing at full boost
Love that car saw it In person just were Amazon world is such a beautiful car
Sounds amazing

Much better lad, top content, keep it up!
Love your videos @Jamiefyd . Even better with old school
Things a weapon 🚗 💨💨💨
Is he short shifting it seem like it has much more in it
It's how you drive an old school turbo charged car with 6 speed close ratio box!
Gets maximum boost in every year. Maximum boost equals maximum torque.
More like this mate. Absolute whip :)
I have subscribed purely based on your brilliant reactions in this video! What a beast of a car!
Are you doing the 904bhp st?
Now we're talking 👍👍
granny shifting at its best!
review a full road legal time attack astra vxr
made my Saturday for sure!
Whats with the needless constant shifting??
It's a 6 six speed close ratio gearbox. The engine makes maximum boost and therefore maximum torque at relatively low revs, no need to rev it to the max!
That's how these cars are driven!
start it up ... vroom.. whats the intro song plz ty
Absolutely amazing, keep it up bro 😊🔰
Get sidewayssid or Monky London in this thing?🤔😂😂
I don t like the way he shifts, like the cocky movement with his arm :)))🤷🏻♂️
But, with 500HP it wouldn't have been legal for Gr.A
Great Content coming love it, keep it up bro.
Did u win the lottery bro?
Not as savage as a e63 s amg , revs short as it only 2 litre but wat a car and technology that is 25 years old.
