I absolutely love old skool fords, my favourite has to be a mk1 granada or a 100e anglia. I love them all though, from a mk1 festa to a sierra sapphire.

id love an anglebox, my friends got one with a 1600 crossflow, very quick, and good fun when you "accidently" kick the arse out coming off of roundabouts! He had a 4 door mk2 cortina, with a 1600 lump, that was another awesome car, especially for going sideways in, lol :w00t:

An MK1 Escort of any type is one of my dream cars, but especially the Mexico or RS2000. I'd kill for one of those...

Yep, I'm currently saving up some money and by the end of the summer will be on the look out for a 105e Anglia preferably or possibly a Mk1 Capri or Mk2 Escort.

Love the old Ford's.

Have had a MkIII Capri, MkI & II Escort, MKIII1/2 Cortina.

Nearly bought a 105E Anglia last year but got a mini instead.

Project Mini Chris: 155bhp from a standard 2.0 Pinto is a bit optimistic me thinks. The Essex 3.0 V6 only just made 140bhp out of the box.

Good fun all the same.

Regards

Steve
