- Welcome back all,
In this weeks video I take the short trip up to Milton Keynes to visit Darren and Jacob at JDA Retro Services. They start by showing me around their Mk2 Escort which is powered by a 200bhp+ pinto, which I couldn't stop drooling over! Not only did the escort have a crazy engine but the rest of the classic ford was mint with loads of modifications and tweaks that Darren had made.
We then explored their carburettor restoration centre. With their skills and knowledge they are able to completely clean and service webber carbs and make them look new again. They also supply new webber carbs as they are an official dealer and are very popular.
The main reason I went and gave them a visit is because I purchased some twin 45 Webbers along with an inlet manifold and linkage. I unbox this in the video and cannot wait to get them bolted to the side of my pinto!

Smashing video as per. I am a VW man from day dot but always liked a fast Ford. My Dad though was always scathing about Ford ( cos he was VW) and back in the day they had their issues with rust etc . Point I'm trying to make is that I'm learning loads and rightly respecting Ford Uk for the awesome cars they produce. I got to have a spin last week in an Escort R/S 2000 mk1 . Never been in anything other than a 1.0 litre fiesta from that sort of period and it was effin brilliant. So carry on Sir , I look forward to the next.
Thank you, I’m glad your enjoying the ford content! 😁
Cracking video Mitch. What great guys @Jda resto. I have the pleasure of calling stiggy one of my close pals and he truly is one of the nicest fellas in this crazy car world, an absolute legend. 🙏🙏✨
That’s great to hear mate! 👍🏻
What a clever man. This escort showcasing his talent and knowledge. Thank you mitch.
Very clever mate! 😎
fantastic set up on the mk2 - a credit to the owner and builder
It was just mint mate 👌🏻
Bloody great video Mitch. A lot of information in it about webber carbs from you guys. But most of all absolutely Lovely looking Ford Escorts 😍😊👍
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for showing us the so called behind the scene content very informative and those guys know their stuff👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed the video! 👍🏻
Great video Your chap from JDA said about leaving tools loose in the boot I was following a MK1 Cortina on a rally and I couldn't believe it seemed to be getting dents outwards on the rear side panel,s as we went through bends . At the halfway we looked in the boot ,their was a trolly jack loose in the boot!
Oh wow, I’ll be sure not to leave anything like that in my escort boot when it’s in the road 👀
Interesting video and some lovely cars aswell 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow, Darren & Jacob certainly know their stuff! 🤘
They do, taught me a thing or two! 👍🏻
What a nice guy, I ran 45s on my pinto but went back to a twin choke for a bit more economy. Decided that I'm going back to 45s again because I miss that burble noise so much, its addictive, you'll love them! Deffo get them set up on the dyno though 👌
Can’t beat the burble of twin 45’s! 😎
Just sat here at work in my lunch break what a video brilliant will have to watch again later lol 👍
Glad you enjoyed the video mate! 😎
Cracking video and what a top man Darren is and young Jacob too
Great these guys know what there talking about….lovely cares there ,cheers for the video hope your well fella 🏴👍😎 4:20
Outstanding build, respect!
Great video. Lovely red Mk2
30:54 anglia could well look like a mini 2 lane, black top 57 chevvy. Maybe even shape the rear wheel arches the same because it will make sense in more ways than one.,,, ✌️👍🇬🇧. Good luck everyone... Mitch,, you are doing a belting job man.. 👋
Great guys and good luck with the drag car 💯👍
Brilliant video Mitch, Very nice bunch of lads, and some set up..😎
Nice "TEJ" reg, I see GEJ SEJ TEJ etc every now and then as I live in Mid-West Wales.
Giving me back my lost motivation to finish my MK2 resto😍
Glad the videos given you some motivation! 😎

Thank you for watching! 👌🏻
Very impressive. 👍
Interesting guy and what he does great Vlog. 😊
Glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏻
brilliant vid
Superb car
Mint 👌
Great Video Mitch,quick question I've seen a lot of Picture's of Webber Carburetors running with the Trumpets only no filters doesn't this allow Dirt & Dust to enter the Carburetors and block the Jets,they definitely look better without the Filters,but is this a good idea ?
I had a 71 pinto with a 2L motor. Same thing?
Thanks Mitch for a very very enjoyable, interesting, and informative video.
Ive had a few old cars vivas and toyotas, is this escort fast like 130mph and 0 to 60 6 seconds , what are we looking at .
200 bhp from two liter pinto? I would say somewhere between 170 to 180 max.
Trust me, this guy is a wizard! He’s part of the 200bhp club….
Your engine only pp tick
everything you look at on that escort is the dog's bollocks, that is an impressive build
that car is divorce territory, must of been some dandy accounting to hide those bills from the missus...
when you hit 500k subs, treat yourself...
It was honestly mint! 😎
