@@Dalesvid checked em out and now I’m gutted and green with envy. But hey least they exist 👍 motors like that bring joy too millions. Thank for posting these. I think I better sub now, especially if this is the kind of content u post mate 😂✌️🇬🇧
@@markthompson9914 thanks for subscribing 👍. yes Bart has a good collection of cars. He is also building a crazy motorcycle engined Mini which will have hopefully feature on this channel soon. I try to post unusual cars 👍
@@Dalesvid 🍻chap I do like me motors, well basically anything with an engine. But that Mk1 is mental, have u seen the `Lord of Ford’ with Jonny Smith (I think Smith) where a Jeweller has made a Mk1 and Mk2 out of gold, platinum, diamonds and other gems ? If not it’s well worth the watch mate 👍✌️
1982 and my Dad came to pick me up from school. Walked out of the gates and there was a crowd around his Mk1 RS Mexico which he'd not told me he was buying. Beautiful.
This car is astonishing. The only fault is that it isn't on my drive. Some videos don't need a voice over or even music. It says all that has to be said itself. Outstanding work lads.
One of the nicest body shapes ever designed in my opinion! It’s miraculous how well it fits over the Chimera running gear. (A great purchase in my opinion) - enjoy!
The most iconic escort shape. I always loved the Mexico, but this, is another level, another stratosphere! Well done to all involved - the most badass Escort - ever!
The mk1 escort is the best looking car I think - this one is awesome - look good wide with the wheel arches & front splitter looks good 👍🏻 nice colour too.
@@Dalesvid been busy with my 68 mk1 for past 6 years now. Lexus 4 liter squeezed in nicely in original metal body with no accident or rust damage. Just taking a lot longer cause I'll be 70 in about 5 months. Greetings from South Africa.
When I was doing hill climbs and rallies in the late 70’s with a Escort Mexico 1600, one of my fellow competitors had a v8 mk1 Escort. It had a Leyland 4.2 litre p76 all aluminium v8 with a jaguar rear diff. It was really quick with modified engine running twin 4 barrel Holley carbs and racing headers ect. The thing was a beast and had a top speed of about 130 mph. 🚗🚗🚗🚗
She is a beauty. I love it. And, thank you for not driving it like an idiot as most people on youtube seem to do these days. I hope Ford look at this and think...."Oh man, if only".......
A possible inspiration for this Escort MKI V8 could be that the video games Trackmania United (DesertCar) and Ford Racing 3 feature an Escort MKI that carries the sound of a V8 engine.
Super badass build on the Mark 1 escort, love these cars, and stuffing a V8 in there and building this exquisite vehicle awesome kudos man!! So f****** gnarly, Jesus!
Great little car, and fantastic presentation. It would definitely be at home at a track day. Why not a little 289 or 302 Windsor 7000rpm screamer and have a crack at Porsches and Ferraris?

That is the best car ive seen in a long time. The shape, colour, wheels, the sound. Fantastic.
Thankyou 👍
This has got to be one of the ultimate performance mk1 escorts done , lovely
BRO!!, Your Ford Escort is a GOAT!
This car is astonishing. The only fault is that it isn't on my drive. Some videos don't need a voice over or even music. It says all that has to be said itself. Outstanding work lads.
These have always been the true Ford escort what a machine they were .
Ironic comment since, according to the parts list at beginning there's nothing ford escort but glass there
I've always liked the mk1 escort . Probably the best of the escorts. In my opinion. The builders of this little car have done an amazing job. .
Steady lah... Old school beb... I'm Luvin' it...
One of the nicest body shapes ever designed in my opinion! It’s miraculous how well it fits over the Chimera running gear. (A great purchase in my opinion) - enjoy!
That's an absolute beauty, my dream combo. The Mk1 body with a deep v8 rumble. Lovely.
the thing over the back window looks so good ,my grandma had one on her ol cortina
The most iconic escort shape. I always loved the Mexico, but this, is another level, another stratosphere! Well done to all involved - the most badass Escort - ever!
Thankyou 👍
Rear spoiler and louvres suck.
An amazing looking car. Wish it was mine.
The combo of shape and sound is EPIC!
We would really really love to see this car at summernats Australia...no joke you would be winning something...
Is it a local car?
Fact
I'm glad Garry finally sold it, can't believe it was for sale for so long, he put so much work into it. Glad its gone to a good home also 👍👍
The mk1 escort is the best looking car I think - this one is awesome - look good wide with the wheel arches & front splitter looks good 👍🏻 nice colour too.
Seen this car in the flesh last week where its kept. Its one hell of a bit of kit and looks proper mean. Hands down the best Mk1 I've seen
Wow how much I miss my Ford escort mk1 that is insane and that’s for sure🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
That sweet sound of the tvr engine
I’ll probably never get the chance to own a MK1 Escort being in Canada but I’ve always loved them. Beautiful build all the way through!!
Would not expect to see that coming down the road after hearing that V8 rumble.
If I had known 30 years ago what could have been made of my Granada or Cortina!!!! Very nice car!!
Oh yes that’s the one , has to be one of the best mk 1s out there, and THAT NOISE superb!!
Thankyou. I agree 👍😎
What a cool little car. 👍
Looks like a ton of fun to drive.
Always loved the Mk1, this build is superb,
They are cool aren’t they. Thanks 👍

@@pieterbezuidenhout2741 that sounds awesome. I run Lexus LS400 as my daily. Let me know when you’re finished and I will film it if you want me to 👍.
Probably Britain's best loved seventies family car .....The ford escort....
The one in the video is really something special......😁👍

beside the Capri . . . best and most beautiful european FORD ever built !
UK car builders are "Locos" !!! Great job!!! Greetings from Barcelona.
Greetings Barcelona. 👍Thank you.
Thought it might be one that chris and mick make at Old Ford, I'll show chris the video when I see him in the yard , great job by the way..
Awesome machine! Wouldn’t have minded hearing/seeing someone actually DRIVE the thing 🍺
Very nice, a mix of all things that are good !
nice drone shots, looks great from high up.
Reminds me of the can am chevs we have here in south africa. A little chev firenza with a big v8 stuffed in the engine bay, legendary race cars
Wow that's a proper tool. Love it. 👍👌
I’m sure my dad would have loved to see this. He had a 1300 1975 mk1 in yellow. I regret selling it when he passed away but we just had no use for it.
That is a lovely car I wouldn't say no to it superb
Nice car. I think the rear louver is what sets it off
Aggressive and very 70s. :) Wonderful.
Apart from the super low profile tyres, which weren’t a thing in the ‘70’s. I prefer old style sidewalls.
@@timonsolus Would agree.
Beautiful build, absolutely beautiful!
There's a couple of these bad ass escorts in Jamaica that they put Toyota AE 86 drivetrain in them . Fits like a glove.
A possible inspiration for this Escort MKI V8 could be that the video games Trackmania United (DesertCar) and Ford Racing 3 feature an Escort MKI that carries the sound of a V8 engine.
In my imagination, that's exactly what my escort would look like. Very cool!!! 🏴
love it, it looks amazing and not over the top great work and the sound gives you a hard - on
stunning motor.
I remember stealing these as a kid 😂
The good old days 🖕
😂👍
@@Dalesvid you know 🤣😂🤣👍
My first car when I passed my test was a mk 1 escort but it was nothing like this glorious beast, probably a good thing 😜
I learned to drive in one but it wasn’t a V8 🤣👍
To me, the BEST LOOKING CAR in the World, AWESOME.😊😊😊😊😊😊👍🏻
Love the concept and the execution. Not sure about the wheel/tire sizing, though… Makes me think it needs a bit less wheel or a bit more tire…
Very nice car tvr engine wouldn't want to go more than 10 miles from home
Stunning car. Nice one.
Thankyou 👍
Mk1 best model there was, loverly car
i am not going to say anything for the v8 only that the car outside is dope the way it looks!!! well done
I really like what the gear heads do to these Old School Fords in Great Britain and Australia.' Bad Ass"! 💪👍
My first car, wish I still had it ....😎
Very nice build
Bro!!! Nice build on a wild concept!
utterly stunning. A thing of Beauty
Thank you. I 100% agree with that comment 👍
Now that looks tidy ✌
I bet that car is FUN!!
It really is. 👍 smiles per mile😎
You've absolutely smashed it made 👍
Chris and archie I used to work with fitted rover v8, s to many escorts and they were rapid
Utterly stunning! ❤
Double sick man ,!!!°°°°°°°
Westlands, nice build
Yes Westlands 👍. Thanks.
That’s only down the road from me
Just... WOW....... Great Job Garry..... :-))

Super badass build on the Mark 1 escort, love these cars, and stuffing a V8 in there and building this exquisite vehicle awesome kudos man!! So f****** gnarly, Jesus!
Work of art
Total respect to the builders
Stunning 👍👍👍👍
One clean ride
Very cool (it'd be even sweeter with 3 inches taken out of the window pillar posts)
Now that is my dream mk1 Escort . V8 power awsome sound looks mint 🇬🇧✌️👏👏
Was waiting to see it go like a bat out of hell??!! 1🤷♂️
What an absolute beauty!

I'm not a fan of Ford or German cars, but the Escort is beautiful and looks powerful. Like...

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ESCORT 🇬🇧🥇🧐
What a beauty! ❤
What a car love it👍👍👍
It is awesome. Thanks
Great little car, and fantastic presentation.
It would definitely be at home at a track day.
Why not a little 289 or 302 Windsor 7000rpm screamer and have a crack at Porsches and Ferraris?
Yeah I may look to swap the motor at some point.
È spettacolare..davvero complimenti a chi l'ha assemblata. 👍
Thankyou 👍
