I note some customers don't get the roll cage. Does that mean it has the same tin can approach to safety that the original had for collisions - no side intrusion protection or air bags?
I'd settle for a base model 1100, but I'm weird like that. My unfinished Mk1 Fiesta project is a 957cc Popular Plus, because I like noisy, slow and basic cars.
Hubba, Hubba. Either, or. Although a mate who builds Escort rally cars says the Mk1 stands up better to a roll. More material in the pillars, especially the C pillar, and due to the curves pressed into the panels, they're stronger.
I used to have a MK1 Mexico but it was stolen and never found, it's reg number was OXE941L and it was Daytona yellow. If you ever come across it I'd really appreciate it if you could comment about it here, I know it's a huge longshot but I do know that a log book was created for it in 2014 .
@@mikeatcora I don’t know what is so wonderful about being built by Ford. I remember them as a cheap and cheerful product slapped together with no regard to durability much like all their competitors of that era. Personally I’d rather MST constructed them with a carbon Fibre body shell that would go some way to justify the price.
Are they rust protected. And what is the quality of the steel. Because if there made abroad how would you know. But they are lovely cars. I think if I had one it would have to look like a Standard Twin cam. Without the big arches. Like the one Retropower did for Gordon murry. Also I would love an original RS 1600.
@russcooke5671 did you see the two escort builds on retro power? When Nat spoke about these MST shells, the quality is not good, the alignment is all off, and even buying just the panels and nothing lined up with an original shell. That’s why they ended up repairing and using the original steel. Made in uk??? I think if not made outside uk, then the panels are pressed in another far distant country where all poor quality parts are made nowadays and then probably assembled and built in uk. If I’m wrong MST then stand by your product and make a video showing the shell making process in the uk please. Thanks a lot. They do still look great but I prefer my original RS1600
@@shaunsheep8252 I used to have an original twincam loved it. It had an Uprated engine The fella I bought it from years ago used to race cars in the 60s around Cornwall. He had lots of trophies for it It was quite low geared 85 in top and it was screaming but very quick acceleration.
@@shaunsheep8252 yes I watch it every week. My favourite one is still the one they done for Gordon Murray. Because it looks standard. I don’t like the big arches. Because they make the wheels look small. It’s a bit like a fat bird in a mini skirt So I would have the white one they done. I watched every episode of its build. The escorts they are doing now are beautiful cars though. I had a very fast rare mk two cortina 1600 E. converted by a company called crayford they only made two so a lot rarer then a savage.
@@shaunsheep8252 MST shells are 100% built in the UK, they are built on purpose build jigs with over 30 shells built to date, alignment being off is absolute nonsense, like most of what is written on the internet.

Fantastic all I need now is to win the lottery and I will be there next customer😀😀
Me too
And me
And me!
Me me me 😂
You could sell your house.
Back in the day I owned a mk1 Mexico, wish I still had it😊
I had a MK1 1600 BDA !,,, why oh why did I sell it way back in 1974 ! 🤪🤔😳😖

Built in the time when cars had style and attitude great to see them being built again no real car designers left in my opinion
The attention to detail is so refreshing these days! 😀
Nice takes me back to my daft days having fun in the old RS😢👍🇬🇧
Yes cheap fun in the day.
Now that is a cool factory, like a sweet shop😮
Simply awesome!
Beautiful cars - I remember them back in the day but these do look way better.
The blue one's got my name on it !
Such works of art. Especially like the yellow.
Approximately how many full cars are you building yearly?
Thank you, our aim is to build 20 cars yearly
@@MST_Cars any chance on doing a series of following a full build?
Which colour code has the blue mk2??? It's very good!!
Amazing ❤❤
It must be amazing for the lucky one picking up a New Mk1 Escort in 2024. Mk1 RS2000 or Mexico was always my favorite Escort.
Epic!!❤ any left hand drive?
I note some customers don't get the roll cage. Does that mean it has the same tin can approach to safety that the original had for collisions - no side intrusion protection or air bags?
all cars a strengthened to rally specification, including road cars with no cage, they are much stronger than the originals
@@MST_Cars Awesome!
Very nice indeed ❤️👍!
One day I will own an MST MK1❤❤❤
Yes please 😊
Do they produce also for hole europe, also lefr-hand-drive cars?
Could you fit some of that running gear into my 240 Volvo glt please.
👍👍👍👍
Da wan 👌🏻
Memories of my Daytona Yellow Mexico 😂
They won't be cheap.
A silly question but are these chassis/ bodies actually from the 1970s but refurbished ? or are they new fabricated to the same spec but in 2024 ?
They are brand new bodies I believe
Okay cheers , probably made stronger & safer to today’s standards 🤙👍
Is a build of a german street-legal LHD Car also possible?
Surely more personal needed😮
The coolest new car you can buy. Top one. Nice one. Get sorted! 😎
Love them , do you have any jobs going anything from sweeping the floor up to power train installation. 😊
There looking for a guy to help snip the wires off!
I can do that 😂😂😂😂@@bernardwarr4187

Around £70,000 for an RS 1600 nowdays!
I had a Twin cam many years ago! Forty years ago actually!
Would you start building escort Cosworths?
I've got a 1989 Mazda 323 GLX, would you consider flipping it one day?
👌👌👌
I'm in the market but there arnt any mk2 shells available on the website.
What no chinese shells?
@@JohnSmith-ei2pz nothing not even a Chinese one.
@ 0:48 It would be more professional to see proper wire strippers used.

WOW! ,are these being built for clients of for sale to public ?
all client builds
Would have thought they would have protected paintwork while working on them to be honest🤔
Not a Ford fan but they do look quite good!👍
Wing protectors taken off for the video 👍
@@MST_Cars corse they have!!🤔🙄
me wants it!!!!!!
I guess youse have an electric/hybrid mocked up already ready to make again if need be. The Mk 1 Millington Plaid Hybrid RWD 1001Hp.
Hallo
Warum habt ihr diese Tollen Escort
Bei uns gibt es die kaum noch
Immer die nur die blöden GTI dinger
Shame ford couldn’t keep avo open as a specialist build company ,but global volume and profit took over ,how’s that working for them

Shop towel stuffed in trumpets, waiting to be forgotten, and stuff a valve in some piston tops! Buy some dirtbike exhaust bungs!
What are the prices?
If you have to ask,, you can't afford one.. LOL

You cannot afford it, if you need to talk prices!

If it is full of the latest electronic gadgets, then it is not original but in the hands of the evil masters(controllers)

100k
