That 2.3 was the first diesel I'd driven, back in the 80s as a lad. At 2.3 you thought vroom vroom here we go..... Only to get a whack of non turbo torque, multiplied by exponential disappointment 😅
Absaloutly fantastic video stokzey ❤👍omfg I was raging over the escort what a waste she needs rescuing I was looking at that bulk head and it's in better nick than my 2013 Astra which is letting in water what a sad shame brilliant my friend
This is true. They rotted like there was no tomorrow. Three year old cars with patched rear arches and strut tops. It was a nightmare trying to find a nice one even then. Having said that, if you attempted to move this one then it would make serious noises. More snap, crackles and pops that a child munching his rice crispies. (As rotted as much as the parts below of a veteran lady of the night).
Don’t be down man You’ve been trying to find all these new video ideas but all anyone wants is the old stokze I’ve been a subscriber since u had 100 subs when bearded explorer shouted u out as soon as I found ur channel I would watch it every weekend ur my fav UA-camr man.
Amazing ( as usual ) footage stokze mate. Please be careful tho brother when you’re sticking your hands/fingers into discarded boxes etc. You never know what’s buried in them and I’m sure I’m not the only one that would hate to see you get pricked/stabbed or grazed by a used syringe or something! Don’t limit yourself brother but be safe in your adventures. Regards. Mark
Man oh man … that old green Ford Escort….😢 wow…look at all of those cars just sitting there just being reclaimed by nature and classics are worth money… nice one Stokze.👏👏👍👍😎
Another awesome video. So the Green MK2 Escort is a 1.3 and is SORN. The poor old Bedford to the left of the Escort has been sat there a while as the Tax was due back in 1989 . The Blue 1.8 Sierra tax was due 2003 .I also spotted a White Astra MK 2 in the bushes .Can't wait for part 2 .😊
Great video thanks for the time travel back to the 90's As you looked inside that mk2 Escort and I see that steering wheel I imagined that smell they had. Do you remember it. It's so unique I think it was the plastic seats they had. And that steering wheel wow. The Escort diesel estate in Blue. A work horse run for ever. Put a timing belt on that and new glow plugs and it will start up I bet. Real grave yard what a shame. Real shame 😔 That grill on that mk2 would be like one 1 in existence anywhere. Them retro badges looked mint lost forever under them trees. Sad But great video👍👍👍

Some awesome finds stu esp the escorts the blue sapphire ohh wonder how many more cars are buried out there 👍can't wait for part 2 ...amazing stu and can see why after all the time you longed to see the location
Great video again and you gave it great atmosphere almost like a vicar in his church😂,that alloy wheel on the eky near the end was a cosmic alloy,I had them on my custom mk1 escort van in 1979❤
I remember all these on the road as a boy especially mk2 escorts as the plod had em and i was getting a talking too by the local police on more than one occasion when they ran em as panda cars.😅
looks like the Green escort is actually on SORN, so it must have been SORNed a few times, before DVLA changed the rules , its log book change was 1999. So it may have been put there in the early 2000s
Many sorn cars are left to rot like this all over the UK. That makes it difficult to calculate how many will survive in future 😥 On the upside there are hundreds surviving for each year, and a couple of thousand more listed "unknown" which are most likely early models. also some would be categorised under "missing" then there will be hundreds more that were off the road prior to the introduction of SORN That's not including all those that survive around the world 🥳
Great video stu very nice find....wounder whats up by the caravans lol 19 years ent has been off road noticed it had alloy on it like the red 1 did Looking forward to part 2
Makes a person wonder how long those car had been there. They didn't seem too far gone rust wise. The Escorts dash pad was not cracked, nor was the Sierras which says a lot.
Never mind the old fords their are plenty of those left. The Austin a35 needs rescuing first! Even though there are plenty of those too lol. All the good escorts have been stashed waiting to be sold at ridiculous eBay prices 😅
that red siera was a August 1985 reg it changed hands 30 August 2012 & it never had a first MOT, so he girl who had it locked it away after 88.? unless it had some dodgy MOT`s on it as some of us did back then you know what i mean Stu ??
Brilliant find but you missed what I think was a blue Fiat Mirafiori, many suffered badly from rust hence today are extremely rare, this car was at the beginning of the video just as you walked in
It`s saying the green Escort had changed owners on 18 December 1999 & this didn`t have it`s first mot the same as the red Sierra, how`s this has dvla not held onto the records of old cars mot`s or something.?
It still Even got screen wash in it👌👍👍👍 I’m sure as💩ya will never find a car today 30/40 years from now sat like that not a chance,, an as the unfortunate comments have said about the AKA rust,, well it’s still there telling it’s tail, of build quality,,
Exactly there are some motors that you wld just be saving by taking them ,I can understand the theft thing but there’s been more cars on here where the owners are well gone and the rich relatives are just waiting ,to sell and all that will be scrap metal in a slip ,my big sister done it with her ex hubby ,photographer ,old cameras n telescopes .aswell as new ,
@@Crosshatch1212No it isn't. Stu constantly says how he can't take anything. I know it's a waste. But there it is. When you are running a UA-cam channel there are rules.
There are hundreds of mark 2 escorts, no one cared for the 4 door versions until recently lol. Anyway there are still plenty left. There are much more endangered cars that don't get the attention they deserve 😥
They need saving….why can’t they be bought….im 73 and this still makes my blood boil….once a petrol head always a petrol head..rusting away but could be saved….i know of a twin cam lotus Mk 1 rusting away but he won’t sell….bloody madness…
The golden generation of 80s and 90s doing up the old cars up by the side of your house is finished, now cars are disposable no more old cars like before now
Get them fkin cars out of there and save them. Dont dilly dally around, just get it done. No one else is going to do it, and like us, theyre only here once.
That 2.3 was the first diesel I'd driven, back in the 80s as a lad. At 2.3 you thought vroom vroom here we go..... Only to get a whack of non turbo torque, multiplied by exponential disappointment 😅
They were proper proper push it with your back slow,the only ones round by me who had them were the taxi drivers,they definately needed à turbot 😂
Absaloutly fantastic video stokzey ❤👍omfg I was raging over the escort what a waste she needs rescuing I was looking at that bulk head and it's in better nick than my 2013 Astra which is letting in water what a sad shame brilliant my friend
The MkII Escort was in better condition than some I'd see on the road by the late 80s. What a find. 📸

Good stuff ,I think the sports wheels on the escort are cosmic wheels from the 1970s .
Yes👍

2.3 diesel sierra wan of the best towers ever.father had one, was so reliable
Great video thanks for the time travel back to the 90's
As you looked inside that mk2 Escort and I see that steering wheel I imagined that smell they had.
Do you remember it.
It's so unique I think it was the plastic seats they had.
And that steering wheel wow.
The Escort diesel estate in Blue.
A work horse run for ever.
Put a timing belt on that and new glow plugs and it will start up I bet.
Real grave yard what a shame. Real shame 😔
That grill on that mk2 would be like one 1 in existence anywhere.
Them retro badges looked mint lost forever under them trees.
Sad

What a amazing cars find
Awesome find.
I could do with the grille off the MK2 👍
The grille is worth some good money being the early letter style for the escort boys
@@MrGti6 it looked in good condition too.
I got the newer style.
At least they're cheaper than the panels.
Rear wings for a 2 door cost a mortgage 🤣
Great video stu my second car was a mk4 escort 4 door in blue the same as the 1 in the vid 👍 good cars bk in the day 👍
Great location - just love the colours of the cars of this era. Some real relics from the past left inside some of them too!
Great video 🚘👍
Oh my gosh wow wow all those Ford Escorts heartbreaking 💔 such rare classics makes you cry. Great location 👍
Cheers for the shoutout bro 👍Unbelievable location!! Yeah it was an XR wheel on the Sierra, and the Saff too! Old Cosmic alloy on the Mk4! Poor Mk2 😢
Fantastic but crying now bloody shame. Nice find stu

Great video again and you gave it great atmosphere almost like a vicar in his church😂,that alloy wheel on the eky near the end was a cosmic alloy,I had them on my custom mk1 escort van in 1979❤
Excellent find Stu I love the Old Ford’s I would have them over new cars all day long
I remember all these on the road as a boy especially mk2 escorts as the plod had em and i was getting a talking too by the local police on more than one occasion when they ran em as panda cars.😅
Brilliant find..... the mini van 🥺😍👌🏻
❤brilliant Stu that mk2 Escort needs to be rescued mate be nice in my garage mate 😊😊😊
Love a mk3/mk4 escort with single side windows,2dr 😊
Great find stu shame about the mini van love to see that back on the road 👍🏻
The souls of those cars wondering will I ever run again.......very sad to see these classics left to rot away.
Your like the Indiana Jones of car hunting bro 😂 keep up the good work👍 I love a good Ford video even though they ain't fast anymore.
Morning stu great explore mate 👍
looks like the Green escort is actually on SORN, so it must have been SORNed a few times, before DVLA changed the rules , its log book change was 1999. So it may have been put there in the early 2000s
Massive find
Wow good find stu another great video
17:10 I fitted one of those Sierra spoilers to my Mk5 Escort back in 2002. Surprisingly it fitted like a glove! I paid £10 for it 😂
Cosmic alloys on the escort getting rare now croweman in the UK
Love ur vids stokze I save them for a Saturday night keep up the good work man
Great video mate loving the camera going around the engine its nice to have a close up on these old car engines 🙂👍
Excellent video stu, keep it up
Morning mate another banging video as ever
Id love an old Sierra right now. I wouldn't even say no to a 2.3 diesel even though they couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding!!!
Sadly rice pudding these days is not so thick haha
Another great video buddy
Another good video mate never fail to fetch good content 😊
Wow car stuck in time could still be salvageable
Great video stu escort is on sorn . Can't believe it just letting rot 😢
Many sorn cars are left to rot like this all over the UK. That makes it difficult to calculate how many will survive in future 😥
On the upside there are hundreds surviving for each year, and a couple of thousand more listed "unknown" which are most likely early models. also some would be categorised under "missing" then there will be hundreds more that were off the road prior to the introduction of SORN
That's not including all those that survive around the world 🥳
Morning stokzeeeeee
Nice one Stu 🤜🤛
Great video stu very nice find....wounder whats up by the caravans lol
19 years ent has been off road noticed it had alloy on it like the red 1 did
Looking forward to part 2
That escort is screaming out to be saved 😢
hello Stokzy, hope you are all good. Racking my brains but think the alloy on the blue escort was what used to be on the Hillman Avenger Tiger?
Makes a person wonder how long those car had been there. They didn't seem too far gone rust wise. The Escorts dash pad was not cracked, nor was the Sierras which says a lot.
That green escort needs saving, its in really good condition.
Check out Jennings motor sports have a look at what he gets running in fields etc ,in a lot worse condition than these ,
The bottom half is probably rotten to the core 😅
Never mind the old fords their are plenty of those left. The Austin a35 needs rescuing first! Even though there are plenty of those too lol. All the good escorts have been stashed waiting to be sold at ridiculous eBay prices 😅
En Angleterre vous aviez aussi les Sierra Diesel 2.3 INDENOR montés à l'origine chez Peugeot ( 504 , 505 ) ?
Says that the Green Mk2 escort is Sorn 🤔 BEH868T
Mk2 escort early car with late reg
that red siera was a August 1985 reg it changed hands 30 August 2012 & it never had a first MOT, so he girl who had it locked it away after 88.? unless it had some dodgy MOT`s on it as some of us did back then you know what i mean Stu ??
Brilliant find but you missed what I think was a blue Fiat Mirafiori, many suffered badly from rust hence today are extremely rare, this car was at the beginning of the video just as you walked in
My thoughts too that was a fiat mirafiori cant believe stokze walked passed it lol
Looked like a datsun to me but saddened he didn't pan round on it,I like datsuns😅
Just paid £90 yesterday for one of them mk2 FORD grills for my Mexico project. 😂
Save them from going back to minerals. Finder's keeper's!
Guarantee a fresh battery an fresh fuel an that sierra will fire right up
I doubt it drive so good lol
It`s saying the green Escort had changed owners on 18 December 1999 & this didn`t have it`s first mot the same as the red Sierra, how`s this has dvla not held onto the records of old cars mot`s or something.?
I reckon the owner wood sell the lot if approached. No ones got money these days .probably no local scrap collectors in the area so we're left to die
Can any of the cars be bought
I have a mk2 escort 1.3 l in my garage you can look at any time 🤣🤣
That's the trouble, too many are in garages gathering dust lol, while you wait for the value to increase 😉👍
@@deanosaur808 wow it would hurt you to know I'm got a 205 gti capri 2.8i and toyota supra all doing the same l👍
@@RetroCarsReborn not hurt at all! Look after them 👍
I'm off to spend my billions 😅🤣🤣
I wish someone can save rhar Escort MK2 ,very nice car ,bur i think it,s too far gone sadly
If you wanna check for water just squeeze a rubber pipe stu
That Escort mk2 was a Stoke on Trent registered car BEH
I love the Fords from 60's and late 70's . Wouldn't give a toss for any of the 80s and later garbage though.
I kind of agree, but those 80s cars are becoming more rare than the older cars. Still there are many left in Europe so I'm not so bothered lol
It still Even got screen wash in it👌👍👍👍 I’m sure as💩ya will never find a car today 30/40 years from now sat like that not a chance,, an as the unfortunate comments have said about the AKA rust,, well it’s still there telling it’s tail, of build quality,,
Que pena los escort con lo buscados y caros que estan😢
she liked a blue ford car then
Dude, just tow the thing away. No one would ever notice.
Exactly there are some motors that you wld just be saving by taking them ,I can understand the theft thing but there’s been more cars on here where the owners are well gone and the rich relatives are just waiting ,to sell and all that will be scrap metal in a slip ,my big sister done it with her ex hubby ,photographer ,old cameras n telescopes .aswell as new ,
Yeah I get it...but there is a code buddy. You don't take anything that isn't yours.
@@paul7TMbut if it’s nobody’s then by the code off reservation it’s available .
@@Crosshatch1212No it isn't. Stu constantly says how he can't take anything. I know it's a waste. But there it is. When you are running a UA-cam channel there are rules.

I hate seeing Escorts in that state 😭
1st here
Poor mk2 gutted. Fresh fuel and plugs it would drive out of there. Crossbows are bullet proof
Crossflows! Pesky spell check 😂
The golden generation of 80s and 90s doing up the old cars up by the side of your house is finished, now cars are disposable no more old cars like before now
Not completely true. The younguns will want to preserve cars from their generation too, but it will be on a smaller scale of course
Looks like 1100 engine
No servo so probably was
Get them fkin cars out of there and save them. Dont dilly dally around, just get it done. No one else is going to do it, and like us, theyre only here once.
Jennings motorsports if yo think theses are behond repair and not startable ,
Only anygood for parts not one car worthy of restoration not one
Cortina is ,
