    Lucky bastard, an absolute wet dream.
    Proper round headlamp's not square.
    Your cheeks must ache from smiling so much.I don't think I would be able to sleep being the owner of this orgasm of mechanical wonder.an absolute privelage
    just to observe and hear such a creation.
    Certainly made an old boy racer smile.
    Realise the absolute joy of the mk1.
    Owned x2, though not of this calibre.
    Bloody great fun to drive.
    Left a police car in my dust with mine.
    Yeah baby Yeah
    FANTASTIC

    So beautiful it brings tears to my eyes. Wonderful restoration and thanks for posting this. I had one of these around 1975 was one of the most enjoyable cars I remember having. Traded it in on a new Ford Escort MkII RS 2000, another beauty!

      I bought one in 1970 was the best car I ever had but you had to satisfy the Ford RS garage you were competent enough to drive it, had to be balanced regularly and woe if you put your foot on the accelerator before trying to start it?!

    SIMPLY STUNNING I had a Mk1 Mexico many years ago, Ermine White with a thin triple pinstripe in red, battery in the boot, RS alloys and a blueprinted engine by Cosworth, wish I still had it.

      You don,t come from Stirling area by any chance , i used to work in the Ford dealers in the bodyshop 1 of our customers had A MK1 MEXICO with the 1800 LOTUS twin cam that he had Blueprinted BY Cosworth , and he brought the prints in to show us them.

    Our Mk1 BDA is black.
    No bumper on the front.
    Slammed on 13" .
    And the bda is on a blue colour scheme.
    These are the best cars ever made. Fuck your evo X

    Nice Mk1. I love our musclecars here in the States, but wish they would have imported these Mk1 & Mk2 missles here. So cool.

      +72SSAbody Although if they were, they'd have a high chance of being spoiled by fitting those ugly bumpers the size of a small nation, but anyway, it's better to have that than no escort at all.

      Yes. I was thinking with that engine spec, the rear end needs the rally car's five links. Bit of a mis-match as it is.
